[ScanIndiana] Radio Shack scanner programming

[Aaron Dunkle]

Rob,
    The cable is available at RadioShack. The software must be purchased 
from StarrSoft. It is $30 but does let you do a trial version. The cable 
for the scanner is a serial port cable. If you only have USB ports then 
you will have to get a serial to usb adapter which is another $30 from 
Staples. It is easy to do. I just picked a bank, typed in the 
frequencies for Peru SAFE-T  system and selected motorola as the 
trunking system. You will see when you load the software that it is 
fairly easy. If you need more assitance when you acquire the cable and 
software let my know.
