CPU 1.06 Firmware Upgrade
Setting the custom programmable trunking tables using third-party
scanner programming software
The custom programmable trunking tables are configured using third-party scanner
programming software, not from the scanner’s keypad. If you already use third-party
software, check with your vendor for the latest version.
If you do not use third-party scanner programming software, you will need to obtain
some in order to configure the custom programmable trunking tables. The following are
common software applications:
PSREdit300:
Win97:
ARC300:
Note: RadioShack does not endorse or recommend any third-party products.
The method of setting custom trunking tables will vary depending on the version of
software you are using. Check your software’s documentation for specific instructions
for adding custom trunking tables, including how to set rebanding values.
Once you have configured the custom trunking tables, they can be invoked with your
third-party programming software or with your scanner.
With your scanner:
1. Press PGM + TRUNK and select the trunking ID list for the bank containing the
affected trunking system.
2. Press FUNC + 3.
3. Press
or
and select MULTI-TABLE.
Troubleshooting
• Ensure that the USB cable drivers are installed and that Windows recognizes the
cable and has assigned a COM port number.
• Ensure that the correct COM port is set in the upgrader.
• Ensure that no other applications are running that access the same COM port.
• Repeat the upgrade process, making certain that the on-screen instructions of
the upgrader are followed exactly.
If the above suggestions do not work, try running the upgrade utility on a different
computer. In some cases hidden applications can cause port conflicts. It is not always
possible to see these hidden applications and disable them to eliminate the conflict.
