BC796D Software

[hobergenix]

I am looking at buying a BC796 scanner. I downloaded Unidens version 1.00
software to give it a look. I do not know if they have a more current
version. I know Scancat gold is available. Is their any other scanner
software I should look at?

I looked at it and it looks much better than the software sent with the
796D. I do not know much about the pro version, I think I am only looking at
their basic version. Would you rate the pro version better than scancat
gold. I see the ARC Software id much cheaper. I will have to do some more
reading and compare.

I have to agree now that I have looked at both ARC250 and Scancat gold. The
price is very fair. One thing I want to do is put in frequencies for
something like the News Media and log the most active to a file so that I
can delete the inactive ones. I think ARC250 will take it a step further
and record the audio to hard disk as well.

I have looked at all three. One nice thing I like about ARC250 is what
appears to be the ability to cut frequencies off the web or text and load
them in. I have to look at it a little more. The web site Frequency of
Nature looks like you can do this. I also get the Monitoring times online
magazine sent to me and this would be a plus.

The ScanCat software has been around for a long time but I feel its a bit
pricy for what it doses. The E-scanner plus software I think is also pricy
for what it doses. I also see that Uniden released the control codes so it
probably wont be too long before people write their own.

Their server seems to be having problems right now, but if you call
Scanner Master, they can sell you ARC250; there are 2 versions, basic
and pro. You might want to go to BuTel's page and check out the
differences. Their page is:
