Latest Software Updates:
PSREdit500 Version 1.93 Release 20 (Released June 18, 2022)
- Fixed an issue with importing unsupported conventional frequencies. Frequencies with a mode that is not supported by the scanner will no longer be available for import.
- This version and all versions of PSREdit500 and PSRCtrl500 going forward will be digitally signed under the name Michael VanderVeer.
PSREdit500 Version 1.93 Release 19 (Released April 16, 2022)
- Note: Release 18 was not publicly released.
- Fixed an issue with importing the Alabama Interoperable Radio System (AIRS) due to a leading space in the system name in the RadioReference database.
PSREdit500 Version 1.93 Release 17 (Released April 17, 2019)
- Due to changes in the current version of the Whistler USB programming cables,
two default options in the software have been changed. This change will not affect
existing installations but will set these options in new installs. These options are
located in the Serial Port Settings area under the Configuration menu. The settings that
have been changed are as follows:
- Cable access mode has been changed from Direct to COM port by default. The new cables do not use the FTDI chipset so using the Direct access mode is no longer an option with these cables.
- The option to add additional time while uploading a configuration to the scanner has been enabled by default. The current chipset no longer handles an upload at full speed so enabling this option is necessary.
- Updated copyright dates for PSREdit500 and PSRCtrl500.

PSREdit500 Version 1.89 Release 13 (Released May 24, 2010)
- Added a RadioReference.com web service import work around for P25
frequencies that have the NAC string format reversed. Typically NAC
codes in the RadioReference.com database are entered like this:
"466 NAC" however some of the frequencies (specifically Los Angeles
police frequencies) have them entered as "NAC 466". This broke the

have them opened when clicking on those files directly.

model. This option will allow PSREdit500 to set the correct scanner
options based on the scanner type (i.e. Canadian Band Plan for PSR-500C
and PSR-600C models, correct welcome text for PRO-106/197). This option
defaults to PSR-500/PSR-600.

will be shown, and if Talkgroup Object search is enabled, talkgroups
will be shown). Search and Sweeper/Stalker objects will not be
shown if either of these options are selected.
