Dart,
       While I have 2- 2006's, 1- 2005 and a 2042 all with Optoelectronics 
Optoscan computer interface boards (which is the best you can do with 
conventional) the latest and greatest right now is the Uniden Bearcat 
BC-780XLT. It will trunktrack almost all TRS's and gives you what scannists 
have wanted for years. Alpha numeric display and computer programming 
capability out of the box. If you have any digital Apco project 25 systems in 
your area the BC-785D and BC-250D Trunktracker will be out in a few months. 
They will be able to decode Apco P-25 digital trunked and non-trunked 
signals. For more info see Rich Wells "Strong Signals" website:

Good luck and welcome back to scanning. I've been doing it since 1977.
