Which Software Should I use with my scanner?

Apr 05, 2015  Seems like everything local is APCO-25 encoded these days and my old Pro-97 won't handle it. Software's a pain to work with too. I see Radio Shack knocked their Pro-668 down to $300 with their troubles, looks like it's just a rebranded Grecom PSR-800, and they don't look like they sell for any less than $400 or so normally.

Razer kraken 7.1 v2 user manual. I was pleasantly surprised, though, to find that the over-the-ear cups make a tight seal without any undue pressure. With so much material present, I expected it to push down hard on my ears as earlier Razer headsets did.

The following chart is an up to date version of all RS model numbers and the BuTel package that supports it. Note that in some cases, GRE and Whistler had equivalent models, and these are also cross referenced here. Also note that before RS withdrew from the scanner market, they reissued some of their scanners with new model numbers.

• The keys are case sensitive and must be entered with the dashes. You must type in the keys, do not use copy/paste.

Common Questions and Issues

• Help my key does not work?

All software license keys sold at www.radioreference.com/radioshack/ are tested and verified and work. Most common errors are:

• Entering key in incorrect software. Each different software requires a different key.
• ARC500 key sold here is for ARC500BASIC and will not work in ARC500PRO. License keys for ARC500PRO can be purchased at www.butel.nl
• The license key is case sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown with the dashes

• I am receiving a 'Nothing Enabled Error' after programming my radio

If you imported info into ARC500 and/or uploaded programming to your scanner and you receive the message 'Nothing Enabled' on your radio, you need to assign the frequencies or talkgroups to a 'scanlist'. This can be done easily in the software by going to the scanlist column next to the alpha tag column, in either Coventional or Talkgroup under Scannable Objects, and typing in the scanlist number. When each frequency and/or talkgroup has been assigned a scanlist you can then proceed with uploading the information to the scanner.

• No data is transferred to my scanner.

First make sure you plugged the USB cable in the PC/IF jack and not the headphone jack. Also verify that the led's on the USB cable are flashing during the data transfer.If they are not flashing you selected the incorrect usb/com port and/or the driver is not installed correctly. Re-install the USB driver. Also try a different USB port.

• I am receiving a 'Init not ok. Can't read user data' message when trying to import data from the database

This message usually indicates that a firewall is blocking the software to access the internet. Add the ARC software to the safelist of your firewall software.You may also see this message on satellite internet connections due to the latency on those networks. The webimport may not work on satellite internet, use dialup or cable/DSL instead. 'Hughesnet' users must disable the Turbopage option.

• I lost my software registration.

If you purchased the software license using this website then simply logon to your Radioreference account at www.radioreference.com and then locate the Licenses section. This shows all software license details that were purchased. You can also use this link: http://www.radioreference.com/apps/account/?tab=3Dlicenses
