Talking on skype etc.

[Jim Gammon]

Yah very busy here too. We are in process of buying our first
home, actually going to sign all the papers to close Escrow
today. Talking on skype is a great idea. I really wish they
could make skype work on the Apex. But I won't go there because
that will only generate off topic traffic here. Best to all, Jim

Subject: RE: Changing the priority scan status of an object

Ah life in the pond is pretty fine, too.

I still want to set up a SKYPE conference for that. It's just a
matter of
getting scheduling to work out for all of us. I've got family
(son,
daughter-in-law and soon to be born grandson) moving back to
Florida next
month and work has me busy in the office and traveling, so it's
crazy around
here as we get our house ready for long term visitors (we want
them to get
their own apartment as soon as they can, of course) and work
duties. We'll
figure it out and set a time, though.

Thanks for the tip about the cons of priority scanning trunked
systems. I've
noticed that my priority channels on the Pinellas county analog
system don't
get locked onto often when I'm listening to the Clearwater EDACS
system, but
I'll keep trying different combinations of stuff.

Jim, play with your scanner and the software. I'll field
questions as I can.
I'm trying to maintain a pretty good presence on this list, so
ask away.

Best to everyone on the list.

Ron Miller

First off:
Ron:
I'm glad that swimming around got you where you were trying to
go. I can see
advantages to using priority. &, I used to use it quite
frequently when all
scanning was just simply on conventional frequencies. However,
I've noticed
when you try to use it whilst trunking. It will really slow your
scanning
down. It will also cause your scanner to have difficulty locking
down on a
control channel if you're monitoring more than one trunking
system. I'm not
saying you're wrong for using it & I can see some advantages for
doing so.
If it works for you. Good deal.
Jim:
The best thing to do with PSREdit is just get in there & fool
around with
it. If you've got the file that you normally use saved. Load it
up & play
with it a bit. Nothing lost nothing gained as you can always go
back & put
it in the radio. When I first got my 500 & PSREdit, I started
from scratch &
built out my file just the way that I wanted it. This is the
advantage to
these scanners & having PSREdit. We're not dependant on anyone
for our radio
programming. We get to do it ourselves. One of the other things
which I did
when I first got PSREdit was read the help file which comes with
it & is
very accessible with JAWS. There is allot of good & helpful
information in
it. Also, if you run in to any issues with it whilst you're
playing around
with it. Just ask here. I'd say that Ron & I are proficient
enough with it
to get you out of any troubled waters you might get in to. How'd
you like
that Ron? I brought us right back to the pond... Also we can all
get
together some evening or on the weekend on skype & talk about it.
73 for now.

Hi Sean, I haven't messed much with the PSR edit software,
mainly just
load files into my scanner that I get from a fellow ham who sets
it up
for me. but this might encourage me to try some stuff. The guy
who
sends me files is sighted so doesn't know how to address
navigation
issues by using tab, shift tab, etc. So your explanation is
great.
Thanks much. Jim WA6EKS

[Ron Miller]

Many congratulations on the new house! You're finishing up an exciting and
fatiguing time.

[Jim Gammon]

Thanks Ron, yes, it was quite exciting and tiring, yet it went
smoothly. We have been realists about what we can afford, what
we need to pay for a down payment, etc. Fortunately, I have a
signature stamp I had made when I was working which was my
signature, which looks the same every time of course, unlike my
own if I were to try and replicate it live each time. Thank God
I had that stamp today. My wife could use my stamp and then sign
all the doc's herself. I just had to put x's on certain pages
that needed to be notarized. That was according to the Sec. of
State otherwise I would have signed my name using a pen. Anyway,
thanks again. Now all we gotta do is move in the next month!
Best regards, Jim

[John Miller]

I did the same thing about a year ago, we too, had a month to move, we got
so excited, My wife and I stuffed stuff in the car every day from Tuesday to
Friday then I called a friend with a truck and we moved that weekend. My
land lord said he'd give the rest of the month's rent back even but we were
so excited about the move and catching him was nearly impossible, I didn't
even bother.
