[Scan-DC] scanner software

Bill,

To get all the nations trunked frequencies go to http://www.trunkedradio.net
.   You'll have to fill out a painless registration, but its all free.  Once
in you'll find the systems organized by state and its a very complete site.

As for software, there are many different options out there.  I believe from
all the various lists that I'm on that the most popular is from
http://www.butel.nl and is called ARC250 software.  It will run on the BC250
and the BC785.  There is another package which is a close second.  That's
available at http://www.interplaza.com/bensware/products.htm .

There is other software available, but in my opinion the usability of it is
a little complicated and/or expensive.  The two mentioned above are the most
user friendly.  The Butel software is available in demoware or as a full
version for a reasonable price.  The Ben Saladino software is shareware and
worth paying for.

I hope this help you.

Andy Long
