Quite frankly, I was not familiar with the BC898T.

It also appears to be a relatively inexpensive way of getting into computer
controlled (w/trunking) radio.

What software do you use?
What are the strengths of this radio (or weaknesses of the 2052) that
influenced you to choose this radio?
Is the computer connection cable unique.

Does the software you use provide:

S-meter?
Band Scope?
Can you edit the frequency file in notepad, excel or other software?.

Thanks
Bruce

I would spend a little more, and get the Uniden Bearcat BC898-T:

I think you can get them on eBay for under $200.00.

Radio Shack has the pro 2052 on sale.

Living in a non-digital county this radio looks like an inexpensive
way of getting into computer "controlled" scanning.


Is the available software any good.
Is the radio worth it?
Are the frequency files in a std format (CSV or TXT)
Is their an S-meter or Band Scope?
Which software is best for the radio?

I would love to hear any comments on any aspect of this radio.
