V-Folders

[wirelesscop]

Hey Everyone,

Does anyone know if there is a way to access the V-Folders using WIN96?

I have had WIN96 for a while now but am just getting the chance to play around with it to see what it's really capable of.

What I would like to do is program my own personal V-Folders and be able to pull them up when I want BUT, I was hoping there was a way to program them using the software program as I can't see programming using the keypad.

I guess what I need is a better understanding what the V-folders are capable of.

What I have been using them (V-Folders) for as of recently was this...

I have a few different files / folders that I load into the scanner depending where I am. When I travel I just it the PGM / FUNC / PGM and let the scanner load the info that was put in it at the factory. I am assuming that all my data I programmed into the scanner is gone until I reload it using my computer and WIN96. Am I incorrect in thinking this?

HELP!


Thanks!

In Win96 click on scanner then Virtual Scanner. You can change the V folders from there.
edit: Why not save what you have in the radio in a V folder so you dont have to keep loading it from the computer?

Re:

Hey there,

Thanks for the reply...

I didn't even see the V-Folder under the Scanner option until you mentioned it...

Like I said I am still getting familiar...

O.K., so I goto: Scanner then Click V-Folder...

What do I do from there? All the banks are blank in the box that comes up. I DID hit refresh and I see that it loads some info from the V-Folders... But where do I edit the info?

Do exactly what you did, then hit the box under READ to read it into the PC. Then click COMMIT to actually read it. After it reads from the scanner, it will ask if you want it to treat it as a downloaded file. Answer that you do and it will appear in the screen. After it's in the PC, you can edit it the same as any other file.

I usually only read or write one at a time to avoid problems with comm errors. If you try to read (or write) all 11, you probably won't make it the whole way through.
