Good morning! I just purchased a Radio Shack Pro-106. Being brand new (as in no knowledge whatsoever), I knew I'd be in for a long, steep learning curve. I really think I need to pick up a "For Dummies" book to get me started, as the technology seems more daunting than any other I've tackled in the past.
My short term goal is to listen to the Speedway talkgroup, in the Indianapolis Department of Public Safety system. Long term goal would be to add IMPD also.
I downloaded PSREdit 500 and downloading the talkgroup info for just Speedway and uploading to my scanner was deceptively simple. I say deceptively, because when I upload to the scanner, I do not hear anything. Back to the steep learning curve - there is obviously something more I need to do than this, but since I have virtually no knowledge, it's tough to get started, understand all the concepts and make it work. That also makes it tough to ask the right questions to get help. As I said, in PSREdit, all the info is there...just not sure why it isn't picking up anything while scanning.
To get started, any help would be appreciated as I read through everything I can...it's overwhelming! LOL
