Hi Jeff, I thought the Pro-96 handled cqpsk since dsp
version v1.2?  I subscribe to the Pro-96 yahoo group
and there are several
references to improved cqpsk support with dsp 1.3 vs
v1.2.

I agree that Don Starr's software is very hard to use
and I have mentioned it to him before, but I guess we
are stuck with it.  It
hasn't been a super big problem as I can easily use
the Win96 RadioReference import feature.  Also when I
moved to another state and
needed help programming the scanner for my new
location, I just posted to the pro-96 group and within
a few hours I received several
.P96 files from users living near me and with all the
banks programmed for my area. 

I have been reading the PSR-500 rumor messages for a
few weeks and just downloaded the manual from the fcc
web site.  I searched the
manual for cqpsk and didn't find anything.  I plan on
dropping into RS today and see if they have the new
scanner yet.

Subject: off topic the new Radio Shack Scanner that is
out there


Hi everyone, I just  found out today that Radio Shack
has come out with a
new trunking scanner, the PSR-500.  You can find more
info on this at
http://www.radioreference.com under the wiki section
of the page.I'm just
wondering if anyone has  gotten one yet, and if so how
user friendly is
it?  The software for it is made by the same person
who made the
programming software for the Pro-96 and with his track
record that
software didn't work well with JAWS and I would assume
the case would be
the same with this unit as well.What I'm looking for
is something that is
not only user friendly, but something that handles
CQPSK P-25 modulation,
which is a special type used for simulcast P-25
systems.
