Been out of the scanner market for about 5 years.
Used to run Trunker and a few other things.

I am now looking at the BC796D.

My town has a Motorola APCO25 digital trunk for Public Safety,
a conventional 800MHz Motorola trunk, a few LTR trunks for
business and some conventional VHF for a few remaining
services.

I used to own a BC895XLT and found PC software support was dismal.
Don't want to do that again.

Is there any good software for the 786D to load frequencies
and also to run under PC control via a USB/Serial converter?
Any good freeware?
Any good repository of easily-loadable frequency files for the 796D?

Replies in rec.radio.scanner please.

Without question, or hesitation, check out what Butel has to offer!
Excellent full-featured software, that works!

BC796D also comes with free software (full function, not crippleware).
You can d/l the software from their web site if you want to check it
out.

that free software is absolute JUNK, waste of download time. call the
scannermaster boys at 800scanner and get that arc software. cd comes loaded
with free freq.files.
