[ScanIndiana] Marion County

[Paul R Munsel]

        There may be a chance of "Licensing" for the code, and that would
make for a better chance of the public having access. Uniden would have
to purchase the license, and of course pass it along to the user, or the
end user may be able to purchase a license. This is similisr to our
current TV satellite systems. As for being able to add a card, and only
having one slot, perhaps a later card will have multi-codes in it, and we
would only need to change the card. Another option might be the various
cards could be plced in an external unit, and then a cable.interface slid
into the original slot. Just some far fetched ideas...
