Whistler 1065 programming Was: HELP!

[xhibitxtacy2000]

Hi All! Just finally received my new Whistler 1065 and am not able to program it. I signed up for the radio reference site as well as PSRedit as it told me know but still cant figure it out. any help would really be greatly appreciated.

Did you get the programming cable for it? The PSRedit needs a way to talk to the scanner.

what systems are you trying to program? (state,city or county)

also i recommend searching youtube for videos on how to program your 1065

I have the pc/if cable that hooks up to computer. I’m ready to pay someone to program it at this point. Lol

YouTube wasn’t a help. I tried that. Thank you though !!

Whistler has a step by step guide using PSREdit500 on their website. Go here -

And we have this as well, which starts off with more of the basics first

Interesting to note that they have a quick start guide for PSREdit500 and Win500, but NOT ARC500. No matter, we have the ARC500 user guide in the wiki too....Mike

I'm in the same boat, bought this whistler for my husband and have no clue what I'm doing. I have it plugged in with the usb programming cable, i have psr400 and radioreference on the computer, i have the membership, and i even got as far as selecting the channels, but, when I go to radio, upload to radio, and click yes to continue with download, it says, unable to open com1 please make sure usb cable is connected and try again: port does not exist. Can someone help

Ports can be tricky. Just experiment by trying different ports until you get the correct one.

Did you install the drivers for the cable? Without those it will continue to have issues.

Baj76 do you know how to do it. Still no luck on my end.

 

[xhibitxtacy2000]

I am willing to pay someone at this point to walk me through it.

I've never used PSRedit so not sure how to help you find the correct port. I'm sure someone will help you.
This is a great website! Hang in there.

 

[xhibitxtacy2000]

I’m ready to sell it already.

 

[baj76]

to find the correct port, on top of psr edit screen, click on configuration and then click serial port settings

It scanned the port but can’t get anything else working
