Common Questions and Issues

• Help my key does not work?

All software license keys sold at www.radioreference.com/radioshack/ are tested and verified and work. Most common errors are:

• Entering key in incorrect software. Each different software requires a different key.
• ARC500 key sold here is for ARC500BASIC and will not work in ARC500PRO. License keys for ARC500PRO can be purchased at www.butel.nl
• The license key is case sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown with the dashes

• I am receiving a 'Nothing Enabled Error' after programming my radio

If you imported info into ARC500 and/or uploaded programming to your scanner and you receive the message 'Nothing Enabled' on your radio, you need to assign the frequencies or talkgroups to a 'scanlist'. This can be done easily in the software by going to the scanlist column next to the alpha tag column, in either Coventional or Talkgroup under Scannable Objects, and typing in the scanlist number. When each frequency and/or talkgroup has been assigned a scanlist you can then proceed with uploading the information to the scanner.

• No data is transferred to my scanner.

First make sure you plugged the USB cable in the PC/IF jack and not the headphone jack. Also verify that the led's on the USB cable are flashing during the data transfer.If they are not flashing you selected the incorrect usb/com port and/or the driver is not installed correctly. Re-install the USB driver. Also try a different USB port.

• I am receiving a 'Init not ok. Can't read user data' message when trying to import data from the database

This message usually indicates that a firewall is blocking the software to access the internet. Add the ARC software to the safelist of your firewall software.You may also see this message on satellite internet connections due to the latency on those networks. The webimport may not work on satellite internet, use dialup or cable/DSL instead. 'Hughesnet' users must disable the Turbopage option. Mini dvd reader for mac.

There are more reasons than one can dream of. One of my friends is an
EMT, and he monitors EMT frequencies as he drives around because he has
a personal interest. I'm a ham radio operator and a member of an
emergency communication team; many of our members listen in on police,
fire, and EMT frequencies so they have a heads up that our team may be
called up to volunteer. I've been at events where we provided
communications for the staff running the event and accidents happened.
Monitoring fire frequencies (they respond to accidents) let us know how
long it would be till help arrived when we otherwise wouldn't have
known. It's nice to be able to tell staff that the fire engine should
be here in x number of minutes -- staff people need all the calming
they can get. I'll put that in the happening in real time category.

I suspect most people who listen in (and the original poster gets to
have his reasons apart from my speculation) is that they're wannabe
cops or firemen who want to fantasize. I'll put that into your
entertainment category.

And I'm sure some people committing crimes scan to see if they've been
detected. That's evasion, of course.

And I'm confident that I have no clue what other reasons, nefarious and
otherwise, people listen in.
