George,
I agree with most of what you said, but some of it is a little
off. First, "Win96" is "Freeware". There is no "fraud". Second, I
believe you can program the out of range freqs into the scanner with
the software.. You don't need to use the computer each time. Of course
like you said, the performance is poor.

Thanks for letting me know its freeware, wasn't aware of that.

Can't remember which package it was (however it wasn't free) which
offered the same thing (can't remember which scanner either). But it
would only program the scanners search range for MilAir, not actual
channels. But either way bottom line is poor performance as the
scanners internal hardware is not designed for 225-400 MHz...


Have any of you actually taken an 95 or 96 to an airshow? I have and
my Pro95, programmed at home (no dragging laptop) was able to receive
excellent audio from the USAF Thunderbirds. (200-350Mhz) These are
portable units and I wouldn't be using it on my desktop for serious
scanning. JMO.
