After seeing multiple threads where people have [sort of] bricked their scanners, I thought I'd put out this little helpful hint:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UPDATE YOUR SCANNER'S FIRMWARE UNLESS THE SOFTWARE AND/OR UPDATER YOU ARE USING SPECIFICALLY REFERS TO YOUR SCANNER MODEL.
That is, don't try to update a PSR-500 with PRO-652 firmware. Don't try to update a PSR-800 using Whistler WS1080 PC software.
For example, a PSR-500 is very similar to a WS1040. However, "very similar to" does not mean "exactly the same as". The hardware is different. The firmware is different. If, for some weird reason, you try to "update" your PSR-500 with WS1040 firmware, you will succeed only in erasing your PSR-500's firmware. It will then sit there waiting for you to supply a valid PSR-500/600 firmware upload; you'll have to go to the stripped-down GRE America site and retrieve the latest PSR-500/600 firmware.
