If you take a "quick" look at the freqs, basically anything that can't be evenly divided by .0025 or (.025 sometimes) will most likely be the ones.
Examples:
463.180 < probably will not work
463.175 < will probably work
463.1875 < will probably work
463.840 < probably will not work
463.850 < will probably work
463.8375 < will probably work
Go to the settings TAB for the light options (and other settings).
If that don't work let me know
Jim
Thanks Jim. I kind of thought it would be easy. I'll check the
freqs when I get a chance and see which one it is. I will need to
monitor MED channel 82 (narrowband) during hurrcane recovery. It is
on 463.1875 as designated by the FCC. As for the light, I wanted it
to come on only when it stops on a signal. I'll have to see if I can
adjust it to only come on in the dim mode. I have so much other crap
in my patrol Jeep that it lights up more than I want it to at night.
I never had the problem in the Crown Vic because everything was floor
level.
Thanks!
Gene

>>Hi,
>>I finally got to use the scancat program this weekend to program my
>>R/S Pro2055 for my patrol car. I retained the original programming
>>and just added my frequencies to bank 2. When I bank scan after
>>programming the scanner works fine for banks 0-1 however when I turn
>>on bank 2 it seems to hang on the bank and is missing calls. I reset
>>and it scanned 0-2 sequentially about one or two times and hung up

>>bank 2. I turned bank 2 off and it worked fine. So I deleted bank
>2
>>manually and the scanner worked fine. Have you ever seen this
>>problem? It is almost as if it isn't seeing an end of file after
>the
>>20 frequencies I need to monitor. I don't see how it can keep
>>scanning a blank channel but it acts as if its looking at all of the
>>channels. Does the program do anything special when uploading the
>>bank file? I am running a Presario computer with XP and the R/S
>>20-407 w/ USB interface. I also noticed the light control does not
>>work with the 2055. Any suggestions or answers?
