![]() ![]() Rich Carlson, N9JIG, has been a railfan since the late 1970's and a radio listener since the 1960's. We couldn't be more excited to have Rich on board. He has a great knowledge of the radio systems that we all monitor as he himself helped to institute and manage many in his time. Rich is a highly respected member of the monitoring community who has decades of experience with all types of scanners and communications receivers, antennas, software and accessories. Rich recently retired as a Sergeant for the Winnetka, Illinois, Police Department and is now assisting Scanner Master customers in choosing the right scanner for their area, answering technical questions and helping us to develop new products and services. JScanner Master is extremely proud to announce that Rich Carlson, past-president of the Chicago Area Radio Monitors Association (CARMA) and one of the nation's leading scanner experts, is now part of our team. Object Oriented programming is used for the following scanners: If you have software you can usually read the radio even if a Heap Error is present. (Press 0, then 1, then enter during the startup screen.) While this will erase the radio it will get rid of the dreaded Heap Error. If you don’t have software to program the radio and can’t get into the radio to edit the objects you may well have to reinitialize it and start all over. Also check for duplicates in your list of TGRP’s. If it says “New” for the TSYS then you need to change or delete the TGRP. When programming by hand be sure to associate every TGRP with a TSYS BEFORE saving it. When programming with software sort the TGRP list by TSYS and make sure all are assigned to a TSYS. These radios are hard enough to program manually let alone find orphaned TGRP objects. This is pretty easy to do in ARC500 or other programs but a lot more difficult without software. If you can get into the radio programming you should make sure ALL talkgroups entered as Objects are assigned to a Trunked System. These are caused when the radio doesn’t know how to deal with an Object programmed into the memory, usually a Talkgroup (TGRP) not assigned to a Trunked System (TSYS). On certain Radio Shack, GRE and Whistler scanners, specifically the ones using Object Oriented programming, one can be beset with an error message that reads “ Heap Error” along with some seemingly random text. ![]()
