  • Using Microsoft Excel Paste Special feature for building data to paste into Windows based Scanner Software
  • Note: Open Office and other spread sheets may also have this type of operation.
    • This first section is for setting up ARC250D software - other ARC programs may work similar.
  • 1. Highlight and copy freqs from database page, then click ARC Auto Data Import (ADI)Icon.
  • 2. Click Import from Clipboard which will populate left window.
  • 3. Click All which sends freqs to right window.
    • Note: One can edit out all but Controls at this point.
  • 4. Click Export to Table to send frequency list to open software bank frequency list.
  • 5. Type in the data on line 1 of selected bank then click in Tag and drag across and down through last freq line then right click and select Fill Down.
    • Bank trunking frequency settings are complete and the following steps are for talkgroup ID's and tags.
  • 6. Select and highlight a section of Talkgroups from same data page, right click and select Copy.
  • 7. Right click in cell A1 and select Paste Special. In new popup dialog, select Text.
  • 8. Delete unneeded columns in the spreadsheet
  • 9. Select All (highlight all), right click and select copy.
  • 10. In open Trunk ID list, right click in the scan list location you wish to store this group and select paste.
    • This completes this bank for trunking. The bank tags ans scanlist tags will need to be set within the software sections for that purpose.
