Default Scancat Gold Software

In article om,
says...
I just purchased Scancat Gold SE but am having problems using it with
both my BC250D and BC785D's.

I can get Scancat Gold to read all the banks and program banks just fine.

Problem #1: When going to the "Basic Scanning" window I'll setup a
range of freqs for it to scan. Example I'll set the range from
120.0000 to 121.0000, AM, 25KHz spacing. I live 2 miles from Daytona
International Airport who's tower freq is 120.7000, today with the
NASCAR race the tower freq is non-stop! But according to Scancat
there's NOTHING! The scanner will not stop on 120.7000 during the search.

If I enter 120.7000 manually into the "Basic Scanning" window it will
tune the scanner to 120.7000, I can hear the tower. However according
to Scancat the signal strength is zero while the scanners signal meter
is fully deflected.

Any suggestions? The only reason I bought this software was for its
claim of begining the best for freq searching and "Surveillance
Enhanced" feature. So far the only thing I can get to work is its bank
reading and programming feature which I already have software that does
that and it did cost no $159.00!

Only one word describes Scancat....Yuck. I had the old DOS version, and
it was ok, but both Windows versions I had were total disasters.
