PSREdit300 with Wine
From The RadioReference Wiki
This tutorial explains how to get PSREdit to work with Wine on Ubuntu Linux 8.10.
- Limitations
- Talkgroups view in PSREdit does not update when changing banks. If you click in the talkgroups window and "Select All" (CTRL+A) they will refresh.
- Copy/Paste is a tad iffy.
- Other misc. wacky behaviour typical of running Windows stuff via Wine.
- May or may not work on other Linux or Unix-like systems such as BSD or Mac OSX.
- What you need
- Ubuntu Linux Intrepid Ibex (8.10)
- RadioShack Pro-163/164 or GRE-300/400 (tested with Pro-163)
- Newest version of Wine (tested with 1.1.17 from WineHQ .deb packages archive)
- PSREdit300 (Costs a mere $20 * Download PSREdit300 Trial)
- RadioShack 20-047 USB/Serial Scanner Programming Cable or Equivalent.
- The steps to get it working are
- Download the latest version of Wine. (in .deb format, make sure you grab the right one for your system!)
- In a terminal, cd to the Desktop, and install the package with "sudo dpkg -i [packagename.deb]"
- You might get an error about failed dependencies which you can fix by running "sudo apt-get -f install"
- Connect your USB cable, and create a symlink for Wine:
- in a terminal, type "ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1"
- it may be a good idea to run 'dmesg' to verify that your cable is on ttyUSB0)
- in a terminal, type "ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1"
- If you haven't already, get PSREdit, and extract it to your Desktop.
- Enter the folder, and launch the .EXE file with wine. (right-click and select "Wine Windows Program Loader")
- Configure the serial port as Com1 / USB.
You should now be able to download the data from your scanner, and edit it with PSREdit.
