TUTOTRIAL SCG-WIN MR SCANNER TO AR8200 DATABASE

FIRST, Since you have a printed MANUAL/BOOK, read these pages in the Scancat-Gold Manual. They give you an overview on how the database for this radio should be designed.

Page 80 to 90

THEN, take a look at this Mr. Scanner Tutorial section on our website.

Here are some extra "hints and tips", on how to copy and paste - but in order to do this you really need EXCEL to make it easier. IF you don't have EXCEL, we have a "freeware" of a program that does the same thing at this link

http://scancat.com/OnLineHelp/FreeWare-EXCEL-OFFICE_SUITE/

The program contains THREE applications, and the one named CALC is the program to use. You load up a file from MR. Scanner into the CALC program and then you can paste into our database without a lot of typing.

The Database we use is a "flat file", meaning all records are in one database, so it takes a little "organizational skill" to get them just right. WE suggest making separate database files for each "radio bank", and then it's a lot easier to upload a few at a time to the radio (instead of all 1000 each time). The "FRQ" (in memory) files are perfect for this, as you can have several files with just what is targeted for a single bank in the radio, and that makes it a lot easier.

Best regards
