I'm back - had previously subscribed to scan-dc in anticipation of
Montgomery County's Grande Transitione To 800 Megcycles Per Seconde... left
the list last summer when I went on vacation and finally have time now to
resubscribe.

I need a great deal of help! Have just bitten the bullet and purchased a
Uniden BC 796 D Apco 25 scanner... I've read several descriptions of trunked
radio and don't understand it, and I have no idea how to program this radio!

   Doug - first off, welcome back.  Do yourself a favor; get ARC250 from 
BuTel Software (Scanner Master
is the master reseller).   You can read about it here:

http://www.butelsoftware.com/bc785/bc250index.html

   Then when the cable and software are all in place, clone off a file; you 
can find Montgomery county files
on the ARC250 library page, or perhaps on the ARC250 Yahoo discussion board at:

http://henney.com/chm/files/ARCbackup/index.htm

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/arc250785/

   On the CHM library page, you will need to copy the file, then unzip the 
contents into the ARC250 directory.
Then have at it.
    This board, as well as the Maryland forum board at RadioReference, are 
the 2 busiest for our area.  Between
the 2 you should have no trouble getting help....73s  Mike
