I don't think Gommert has an attitude problem. He writes excellent software
for a multitude of scanners, and exploits all their features! The software
looks great, and works as advertised. It's well supported too! You can
email Gommert directly, and he responds, and provides answers, fixes, and
updates to all his software products.

I've purchased ARC780, ARC250PRO, and recently ARC396PRO. In another week,
or so, I'll probably purchase ARC330...still waiting for the radio. I've
been totally satisfied with Butel's software, and Gommert's support!
Gommert also participates in the Usenet newsgroups, and on Radio Reference
as well! I think he is definitely an asset to the hobby!

He works hard, and wants to get paid. What's wrong with that? Why should
he give it away?

OK, from what I have researched - I will have to pay 30 buckaroos to
unlock
the full version of the Uniden software in order to use it to dl from the

database. No problem with donating to the RadioReference website, it is
well
worth it, in my opinion - so, what would you suggest...unlock the Uniden
sw
or purchase the 3arc330?

I use the Uniden software, only because I don't like Gommert's
attitude. I'm a shareware/freeware author and he disparages free
software. YMMV.

I'm leaning more toward the arc330, but I'm not
crazy about the interface and graphics. Any comments on using the RR
website
with either program to dl and program freqs?

The Uniden programs don't directly download from the site, but KB8SOE
has a site that can generate a file from a copy/paste of the site.
I've used it a few times. www.kb8soe.com/396/uasd.php
