New Dell laptop. Trying to install a Radio Shack USB to Serial converter (part # 26-183) on a Win 7 Pro 64bit OS. Device CD says it installed driver. Device Manager says no device driver installed. Device does not work. Computer reports no driver available when device is plugged in. Tried running install program in Win XP (SP3) compatibility mode. There's no Windows 10 driver for that webcam. Gigaware was a Radio Shack house brand, and Radio Shack went bankrupt several years ago. I'm using it on my Windows 10 machine and it works fine. The Windows driver auto installed. I listed it as a Vimcro USB 2.0 PC Camera, so that must have been the original mfg that made it for Radio Shack.

Win96 is a software program for the Radio Shack PRO-96 Digital Trunking Scanner and the PRO-2096 'mobile' version. It allows you to read data from the scanner, make changes via the GUI, and write the modified data back. Win96 can also manage the PRO-96's 'Virtual Scanner Folders'. You can maintain a 'library' of data files to be downloaded or shared. Alternatively, you can import and export comma-delimited (CSV) text files.

During Win96's design and creation, its author worked closely with the PRO-96's development team. Due in part to this relationship, Win96 allows full control of all known PRO-96 features, including several that are not documented in the scanner's manual. These 'extra' features include, (but are not necessarily limited to):

  • Virtual Scanner Management
  • Extended Trunking Tables
  • 'Battery Low' level control
  • Changing the scanner's power-on display text

Installation
Win96 does not use an 'installer' like many Windows programs. You merely download a ZIP file that contains the program and decompress it to a new folder on your machine. Uninstallation merely requires that you delete the program files from your machine.

  1. Save the ZIP file to your local machine.
  2. Create a new directory ('folder') in which to place the contents of the ZIP file.
  3. Use WinZip or an equivalent utility to extract the contents of the ZIP file into the new folder. NOTE: Make sure that whatever utility you use supports long file names. There have been a couple of reports from users who used 'pkunzip', which truncated the file names to the old 8.3 format. Win96 will not be happy with this.
  4. Run the Win96.exe file that was extracted.
Here is a suggested installation procedure:
  1. Start Windows Explorer.
  2. Navigate to the 'C:Program Files' folder.
  3. Create a new folder in 'Program Files', and name it Win96.
  4. From this web site, click on the 'Download Win96' link above.
  5. When prompted, select the 'Save' option (if you're not prompted, and your web browser tries to open the ZIP file directly, then right-click on the Download link and select the 'Save' option in any menu that appears).
  6. In the Save As box that is presented, navigate to the Win96 folder you created above, and click OK (or Save).
  7. In Windows Explorer, you should now see the Win96.zip file that was downloaded.
  8. Perform whatever steps are necessary for your particular 'unzipper' to extract the ZIP file's contents into the current folder. For example, with WinZip, you can just right-click on the ZIP file and select 'Extract to here'.
  9. You can now run the Win96.exe file from Windows Explorer in this folder.
  10. To create a shortcut on the desktop, right-click on the EXE file and, while holding the right mouse button down, drag to a blank area on the Windows Desktop. Release the mouse button. Windows will present a list of 'options' for the drag/drop operation. Select 'Create shortcut here'. You can now run Win96 by double-clicking on the desktop shortcut.


Known issues

  • There have been two reports of startup crashes on Windows ME systems. An error message similar to this is presented: 'cannot find import; DLL may be missing, corrupt or wrong version of file WinxxCommon.dll error 1157' UPDATE: This was tracked down to the use of an unzip utility that truncated the ZIP's file names 8.3 format. Use an unzip utility that preserves Windows' long file names.
  • When you close Win96, it stores the current window position in the WIN96.INI file. If you close Win96 while it is minimized to the taskbar, the values stored will be 'off the screen'. The next time you run the program, it won't be visible. This problem is fixed in version 1.27 (not yet released, as of this writing). If you're running a pre-1.27 version and have observed this behavior, open the WIN96.INI file in Notepad. Delete the line that starts with 'WindowPosition=' (the numbers after the 'equals sign' are the screen coordinates of the main Win96 window - if you've closed Win96 while minimized, these will be very large numbers). Save the INI file and run Win96.


The Help File

If you create a shortcut to Win96 (e.g. on your desktop), make sure that the shortcut's 'Start in' field is set to the same folder where Win96 is installed. If you don't, Win96 will not be able to find its Help file. To set the 'Start in' field:

Radioshack driver download for windows 10 32-bit
  1. Right-click on the shortcut
  2. Select 'Properties'
  3. Select the 'Shortcut' tab
  4. Make sure that 'Start in' matches 'Target' (except for the 'Win96.exe' portion)
Radioshack Driver Download for Windows 10

For example, if Target is set to: 'C:Program FilesWin96Win96.exe', make sure Start in is set to: 'C:Program FilesWin96'.

If you have difficulties using the Help file (i.e. if you get an error message when you press F1 within Win96), you may need to update or install Microsoft's HTML Help Viewer program. Download this ZIP file, unzip it, then run the enclosed HHUPD.EXE file. This will install the Help Viewer program.

WARNING: Win96 is not freeware. It is distributed as a time-limited (30-day) trial version. It is highly recommended that you use the software for several days with the PRO-96 scanner to ensure that Win96 performs to your satisfaction. If you won't have a PRO-96 within the next 15 days, you might consider whether you want to download the software now, as you won't be able to actually test it in conjunction with the scanner.

System Requirements

Radioshack

Radioshack Driver Download For Windows 10 Laptop

In order to run Win96, you'll need the following:

  • A copy of the Win96 program
  • A PRO-96 or PRO-2096 Digital Trunking Scanner
  • A programming cable. There are several cables that will work. See this web page for more information.
  • A PC running Windows 2000 or later (i.e. 2000, XP, Vista, 7). Earlier versions of Windows, such as 95, 98, and Me, are not supported.
  • An available serial ('COM') port. If you don't have a serial port, you will have to use a USB-to-serial adapter. There is some information on those devices on the above 'cable' web page.

    • Fixed double download of trunked systems
    • Added progress indication to trunked system download from RR
    • Added zone number to site info in RR download and sorted site list by zone/site

    Version 1.67 2009.12.16 09:50 (GMT -0800)

    • Added support for site-specific trunking tables in RR downloads
    • Sped up trunked system downloads from RR (e.g. I used to see ~10 minutes for MPSCS, I now see ~3 minutes).

    Version 1.66 2009.09.15 15:15 (GMT -0700)

    • Speed enhancements to RR imports.

    Version 1.65 2009.08.26 13:10 (GMT -0700)

    • Modified RadioReference.com imports to use the SOAP interface.

    Version 1.60 2009.06.02 12:40 (GMT -0700)

    • Minor bug fixes

    Version 1.59 2008.11.01 11:12 (GMT -0700)

    • Added option to select between RR's 'Alpha Tag' and 'Description' fields when importing conventional channels.
    • Fixed problem with NAC values being set as DCS codes when importing P25 conventional channels from RR

    Version 1.58 2008.09.12 11:20 (GMT -0700)

    • Added '800 MHz Rebanded' to the set of pre-defined bandplans in the Extended Tables dialog

    Version 1.57 2008.08.10 12:30 (GMT -0700)

    • Changed SR-3 (Police/Fire) group 3 range limits to match the scanner instead of the scanner?s manual.

    Version 1.56 2008.06.29 09:45 (GMT -0700)

    • Rearranged/resized Conventional Web Import dialog in an attempt to help those with too-small screen resolutions.

    Version 1.55 2008.01.24 11:35 (GMT -0800)

    • Added 'License Key...' item to Help menu. It will display your registration information.

    Version 1.54 2007.11.09 15:05 (GMT -0800)

    • In the RR Web Import (trunked) dialog, added XML export of the selected items. The resulting XML file cannot be imported into Win96.

    Version 1.53 2006.04.13 09:30 (GMT -0700)

    • Removed the range limitation on Extended Table step sizes.

    Version 1.52 2006.01.15 09:20 (GMT -0800)

    • Added the ability to write to a file (and then later read back) the XML data that is returned by RadioReference.com. This might be useful if you wanted to manually (or programmatically) edit such things as 'display' or 'description' fields before actually importing into a bank.
    • Fixed talkgroup display problem in the Import dialog's tree control (they were being shifted up 4 bits). This only affected display in the tree; talkgroups were still imported correctly.

    Version 1.51 2006.01.09 20:00 (GMT -0800)

    • Added a message that is displayed when an error is detected in the XML received from RadioReference.com.

    Version 1.50 2006.01.07 09:30 (GMT -0800)

    • Added import of conventional frequencies from RadioReference.com.

    Version 1.49 2006.01.05 12:00 (GMT -0800)

    • Fixed a bug that would cause a crash if you right-click in an empty area of a grid (i.e. not on a cell).

    Version 1.48 2005.09.04 10:00 (GMT -0700)

    • Fixed the attenuation settings in Weather channels.

    Version 1.47 2005.07.23 07:00 (GMT -0700)

    • Removed the 'Search On' checkbox from the Marine search page - the scanner ignores this entry and always enters the Marine range in 'manual' mode (FUNC SRCH required to start searching).
    • Fixed a couple of bugs that, under rare circumstances, could cause crashes in the RadioReference web import.

    Version 1.46 2005.06.23 13:30 (GMT -0700)

    • When saving or uploading, added a check to make sure at least one ?group? is selected in the Ham and Police/Fire search ranges. This prevents scanner lockups if the user deselects all groups then uses the search range on the radio.
    • Removed checks for 12 characters when entering alpha tags. Win96 will still truncate (or pad) each entry to 12 characters, but no error messages will be issued if more characters are entered.
    • Fixed some counties and independent cities (e.g. Baltimore, MD) in the County drop-down list.

    Version 1.44 2005.03.03 14:00 (GMT -0800)

    • Moved the 'dump' files (TRS and XML) from the root of drive C to the directory where Win96.exe resides.

    Version 1.43 2005.02.26 08:15 (GMT -0800)

    • In the RadioReference Web Import, added a field for the URL of the Web Services app. This should not normally be changed by the user, and is only provided in case the URL changes in the future.

    Version 1.42 2005.02.22 12:00 (GMT -0800)

    • Added the option for a 'beep' when checking and unchecking items in the various grids. You have to manually edit the WIN96.INI file directly to enable this feature. After running version 1.42 at least once, open the WIN96.INI file. Find the line that starts with 'BeepOnCellCheck=', and change the N to a Y. Subsequent runs of Win96 will beep when you toggle check box items in the grids. On NT versions of Windows the tones are 880 Hz for a checked state, 440 Hz for the unchecked state. On Windows 95, 98, and Me, you merely get a tone for the checked state - the unchecked state is silent.
    • In the RadioReference Web Import, added counts of selected channels and talkgroups to the display.

    Version 1.41 2005.02.16 18:00 (GMT -0800)

      In the RadioReference Web Import:
    • moved the United States and Canada to the top of the list of countries, under the presumption that they'll be the two most-accessed.
    • removed the error that's displayed when a site has no channels (RR spec vs. actual data disagreement)
    • in the drop-down lists of countries, states, etc., you can now use the keyboard to navigate (previously, you were forced to use the mouse). Pressing the first letter of the desired 'name' (repeatedly, as necessary), or using the up/down arrow keys to find what you want, then hitting the TAB key will download the selected object, fill in the next list, and take you to that next list. When you select a System, you'll be taken to the 'tree' of sites / talkgroups. Instead of repeatedly hitting a letter key to get to the item you want, you can also type the first few letters of the item's name. For example, to select 'Statewide' in Michigan, you can hit S T A instead of hitting S seven times.
    • ·
    • in the tree of sites / talkgroups, enabled the space bar for selecting and de-selecting items.
    • moved the 'stripping' of site names' trailing asterisks to the actual parsing of the XML, so that they don't appear in the tree.
    • added another option for talk group ID alpha tags, so that you can set the tag to a text representation of the ID. Note that this will be used for any given tag (individually) if you select either 'Display' or 'description', and the result of your selection is a blank tag.

    Version 1.40 2005.02.15 18:10 (GMT -0800)

      A bunch of changes related to the new RadioReference Web Import feature:
    • added some more checks for invalid or incomplete data, including bandplans and system flavor versus fleetmap. When such inconsistencies are found, you'll be prompted with an error message. The message will usually suggest that you report the problem to RadioReference.com, and will include the RR 'system ID' value to be included in such a report. If it's possible to continue even with the error (e.g. if Win96 is able to detect that the bandplan's Offset and Step Size values are obviously swapped), you'll be given that option.
    • changed the 'IMPORT THIS SYSTEM' button's function, so that it will work even if there are no sites, channels, or talkgroups in the data returned by RadioReference. This would allow you, for example, to bring in trunking information and channels even if the database contains no talkgroup info. Previously, the IMPORT function would do nothing if you didn't have both sites and talkgroup 'groups' in the tree of system data.
    • fixed a problem with the HTTP control channels, in addition to viewing control channels only.
    • added the ability to skip duplicate frequencies. If this option is selected, only the first occurrence of a particular frequency will be imported.
    • added the ability to import just the frequencies for non-supported systems (e.g. LTR). No trunking data will be transferred, and the channels will be set to FM.
    • your RadioReference.com username and password will be saved (in the INI file, in clear text), if you check the 'Remember me' box.

    Version 1.39 2005.02.15 07:25 (GMT -0800)

    • In the RadioReference Web Import, added a fix for some 'backwards' data sent by the RR DB. The DB often has the Offset and Step Size values mixed up. Win96 will now detect this and fix it on the fly.

    Version 1.38 2005.02.14 16:15 (GMT -0800)

    • Added an import function for RadioReference.com?s 'Web Services'. This allows you to directly import trunked system data from the RR database, without copy/paste. This is a first cut of this feature, and it will likely change in the near future (based on user comments). Note: you must be a contributing member of the RadioReference site to use this feature.

    Version 1.37 2005.02.07 07:45 (GMT -0800)

    • ·Re-added the 'Load Config' button to the Virtual Scanner Management dialog. It was inadvertently removed in the 1.36 changes.

    Version 1.36 2005.02.01 07:45 (GMT -0800)

    • Added PRO-96 vs. PRO-2096 backlight control. Note that the backlight timeout for the PRO-96 must now be a multiple of 4 (any existing files will have their values 'adjusted' automatically). Also, any existing files that currently have backlight timeout values which are not multiples of 4 will need to be edited if you plan on uploading them to a PRO-2096, either via Win96 or by cloning from a PRO-96.

    Version 1.35 2004.09.19 11:15 PDT

    • Removed the 'Search On' checkbox from the Marine search range ? that feature is non-functional in the PRO-96 (it always comes up stopped on the last monitored Marine channel).
    • Added a new 'CSV data set' file import type. This is a text file (e.g. abc.txt) that contains up to 10 filenames, each of which is a CSV file that contains one bank of data. When importing one of these data set files, a new P96 file will be created, like File -> New, and the specified CSV files will be read into that new template?s banks. See the File Import and Export help page for more information.
    • Added a 'Load Config' button to the Virtual Scanner Management dialog. This loads a text file that contains the names of up to 11 P96 files. When reading this ?configuration? file, Win96 will prepare to load the specified files to the PRO-96?s V-Folders. See the Virtual Scanner Interface help page for more information.

    Version 1.34 2004.08.27 06:10 PDT

    • Added right-click functionality to the to the Extended Tables dialog.
    • Fixed a bug in the CSV import code that kept the 'import into current bank' function from working.
    • Removed the 174-216 MHz frequency range from the available feature doesn?t allow this range.

    Version 1.33 2004.08.01 11:40 PDT

    • Added a new CSV format, one that will be shared among all of the WinXX applications. Win96 now writes only this format, but will continue to read the 'old' format. This new format will be documented in a separate text file, to be released on the Win96 web site.

    Version 1.32 2004.06.12 10:15 PDT

    • Added the ability to Left- or Right-justify alpha tags. The 'Center tags' menu item (Edit menu) has been changed to 'Justify', and new options have been added to the dialog box that appears when that menu item is selected.
    • When sorting channels or talk groups, you’re now prompted as to whether you want any leading spaces to be ignored during the sort. This is useful if you have justified (i.e. center or right) the tags, and you want them to be sorted without regard to the initial spaces that might have been added for justification purposes.
    • Fixed cut/copy/paste and multi-selection in the search range lockouts.
    • Added the requirement that at least one bank be checked under 'Enabled Scan Banks' on the Settings page.
    • Removed the two checkboxes from the Extended Tables dialog.
    • Added new 'Multi table' options to the 3600 and 9600 groups on the Channels page.
    • The MOT Custom Trunking Table items are selected.
    • The Extended Tables button is now enabled only when at least one of the two 'Multi table' items are selected.

    Version 1.31 2004.04.22 09:35 PDT

    • The Lockouts lists (SR3 - SR6) are now sorted when you upload to the scanner or save the P96 file. The PRO-96, apparently, does not like out-of-order lists (this makes sense, given the most likely algorithm for checking that list while searching).
    • Added Cut, Copy, and Paste functionality to the Lockouts lists in SR3 - SR6.

    Version 1.30 2004.03.03 07:00 PST

    • Fixed a bug introduced in version 1.29 (caused by some test code) that seemed to kill the scanner’s ability to track UHF systems.

    Version 1.29 2004.02.29 13:00 PST

    • Changed the frequency pasting code so that it will accept strings up to 11 characters in length, instead of the previous maximum of 10 characters. This will allow pasting of frequencies greater than or equal to 1 GHz with 6 decimal places. (The previous limit was incurred by legacy code – Win92 didn’t allow frequencies that high, so 10 characters was a reasonable limit).
    • Removed a check for 'printable' characters in alpha tags. This is to allow most of the actual characters available on the PRO-96.
    • Added the 'extended' frequencies to SR6 lockouts.
    • Changed the copy-protection scheme so that it no longer depends on the user’s hardware. It is now dependent upon the user’s name and email address only. NOTE: If you are a registered user of Win96, this change may invalidate your current key. If this happens, send me an email and I'll issue a new key.

    Version 1.28 2003.10.28 08:30 PST

    • Fixed the 1.27 'alpha tag trailing spaces trim' in talk group IDs. An errant copy/paste in the source kept this from working.
    • Added configurable copy options to the Bank Editor. You can select which items are copied (any combination): Channels, Talk Groups, Bank Tag, and Trunking Settings.
    • Changed the radio’s power-up mode to 'Scan' instead of 'Manual'. On the first reset or power-up after an upload, the scanner will begin scanning instead of parking in manual mode on channel 000.
    • Fixed an erroneous step size validation in the Extended Tables window. It was forcing integral multiples of 6.25 kHz, which is clearly wrong. The code now lets you enter any integral multiple of 250 Hz from 5.000 kHz to 100.000 kHz.

    Version 1.27 2003.10.20 16:50 PDT

    • Added the ability to open P96 files from the Win96 command line. If you associate P96 files with Win96, double-clicking a P96 file in Windows Explorer will launch Win96, opening the selected file.
      1. Each time you double-click a file, you’ll end up opening a new instance of Win96. If Win96 is already open, use 'drag and drop' (see the next bullet point).
      2. You can associate P96 files with Win96 by clicking the new 'P96 File Associate' button found on the Miscellaneous Preferences window under the Configuration Menu. That button will update the Windows registry so that future double-clicks on P96 files will launch the copy of Win96 in which you clicked the 'Associate' button. Win96 could do this automatically at startup, but I prefer not to mess with the registry unnecessarily.
    • Added 'drag and drop' functionality, so that you can drag one or more P96 files (e.g. from Windows Explorer) and 'drop' them onto Win96. Win96 will then open each of the dropped files.
    • Changed how the window position is stored at program exit. This fixes an 'invisible window' problem that could occur if you previously closed the app while it was minimized or maximized.
    • When editing alpha tags (channels or talk group IDs), the program now trims off trailing spaces when you start editing.
    • Added a new item on the 'Edit' menu, allowing you to center a bank’s alpha tags. (Tags will not be centered automatically – you must explicitly select this feature!).
    • Added a 'frequency fill' feature to the 'Edit' menu.

    Version 1.26 2003.10.12 10:00 PDT

    • Fixed a bug in the FRS/GMRS/MURS page that caused the receive mode to be corrupted.
    • Changed the 'Find Duplicate Frequencies' results window so that you can leave it visible while you go back and edit the channels list. You don’t have to dismiss it before searching for duplicates again – it will be closed automatically.
    • Added a 'Most Recently Used' list to the File menu. Up to eight of the most recently opened or saved file names will be listed.
    • Improved the 'paste' feature, so that the first row of text can be a 'header row' that will tell Win96 what the following data means. This is an improvement over the auto-detect mechanism, as that method requires that each cell have valid data for the data type. One 'bad cell' can mess up an entire column and, possibly, the entire paste operation. With a header row, 'bad cells' will simply be ignored (or adjusted to 'valid' data). See the Revision History in the Win96 Help file for an example of a header row.
    • Allowed pasted Alpha Tags to be longer than 12 characters. While the actual tag stored in Win96 and sent to the radio will still be truncated at 12 characters, at least a 'long tag' won’t cause the paste operation to fail.
    • Added export to XLS files. ('Import' is under construction).Note: You must have Microsoft® Excel installed to use this feature.

    Version 1.25 2003.10.03 12:45 PDT

    • Added options to the Edit menu that allow sorting channels and talk group lists
    • Added an “extended frequencies” option, which seems to enable some sort of hidden test mode that allows all frequencies except cellular. Frequencies can be sent from Win96, or can be entered directly on the scanner’s keypad (including in SR6 – Limit Search).
      Addendum: Some ranges still appear to be 'blocked' by the scanner. Here are the ranges that seem to be 'opened' with this feature:
      17 - 25
      54 - 108
      225 - 406
      512 - 550
      764 - 806
      960 - 1240

    Version 1.24 2003.09.26 16:00 PDT

    • Fixed a bug in the talk group ID list. When you entered an alpha tag in item #29 in any subbank, the alpha tag for item #00 in the following subbank would be altered.
    • Fixed a 'data changed' flag that would cause the program to think a file had changed when you pressed ALT+DELETE, even if you cancelled the operation.
    • Added 'Cut' functionality (available from the Edit menu, or by pressing CTRL+X). This is a combination of the Copy and Delete functions, and works in the Channels and Talk Group ID lists.

    Version 1.23 2003.09.26 07:30 PDT

    • Fixed a bug in the scanner upload history that caused the oldest upload to be displayed for a folder, instead of the most recent upload.

    Version 1.22 2003.09.21 17:20 PDT

    • Added the 'Default' and 'AM' settings to the receive modes on the FRS/GMRS/MURS, Police/Fire, and Ham search ranges.

    Version 1.21 2003.09.21 10:40 PDT

    • Modified the upload history added in 1.20 so that you can 'filter' the data to only show the most recent uploads to the main memory or each V-Scanner folder. This will indicate the current contents of the scanner, according to the upload history.

    Version 1.20 2003.09.19 12:40 PDT

    • Added a 'history' of uploaded files. This is updated by both 'Main Memory' uploads and V-Scanner writes. The new item is accessible via the Scanner menu.

    Version 1.19 2003.09.12 12:35 PDT

    • Fixed a bug in the 'talk group ID validation' code that might cause endless 'invalid talk group ID' messages (there really was an invalid ID, but the messages should stop).

    Version 1.18 2003.09.11 09:30 PDT

    • Changed all references to the CTCSS and DCS modes to 'CT' and 'DC'. This was done to match the nomenclature used in the PRO-96 and its manual. The previous 'names' in Win96 and this help file were inherited from Win92, and were not suitable for Win96.

    Version 1.17 2003.09.10 21:50 PDT

    • Fixed a bug in the Configuration menu, created when the 'Miscellaneous Preferences' dialog was added, that caused the Serial Port menu item to also invoke the Preferences dialog.

    Version 1.16 2003.09.10 17:05 PDT

    • Added a 'Miscellaneous Preferences' dialog, under the Configuration menu:
      • Added the ability to enter more than 12 characters in the various alpha tag fields. This has no effect on the fact that exactly 12 characters will be saved in the file and sent to the radio. It's merely here so that you can type new text into a tag field that is already 'full'. When the file is saved, the data sent to the radio, or when you switch to another bank or P96 file, all alpha tags will be truncated (or padded with spaces) so that they are 12 characters long.
    • 'Uncentered' the on-screen displays of the Welcome Display text and the Priority Channel Alpha Tag. These tags will now be displayed at the left edges of their respective edit boxes. With a fixed-pitch font, the Win96 display should more accurately reflect what will appear on the scanner's LCD.

    Version 1.15 2003.09.09 08:00 PDT

    • Added a 'Copy Bank' feature to the Edit menu. This is for copying a bank in one P96 file to any bank in another P96 file (to copy banks within a single P96 file, use the Bank Editor function).
    • Fixed a bug in the Bank Editor that kept the bank open/closed flag from copying properly.
    • On the Channels tab ('page'), 'unselect' any selected rows in one grid when you click on the other (e.g. if you have selected rows in the list of channels, then you click in the list of talk groups, the rows in the channels list will be deselected).
    • Increased the visible time for ToolTips (the little snippets of help text that appear when you hold the mouse pointer over a control). This was done because some of the tip text is long, and was difficult to read in the time allotted.

    Version 1.14 2003.09.06 05:15 PDT

    • Fixed a problem where the Bank Editor did't move/copy/clear PL/DPL codes.

    Version 1.13 2003.09.03 06:25 PDT

    • Made the battery levels persistent across file save / upload.
    • Fixed the “empty Help menu” problem found on some Windows 98 systems.

    Version 1.12 2003.09.02 09:12 PDT

    • Fixed a lock up problem that occurred if the Virtual Scanner interface was started when a “valid” COM port has not been selected.

    Version 1.11 2003.09.01

    • Initial 'pre-release'.
