Software recommendation?
 

I just picked up a Radio Shack Pro-97. I have read that some scanners can be
hooked to the pc for programming, I assume. What are the advantages and what
would you recommend I purchase? Are there freeware versions? And of course,
what kind of cable will I need.

Well I use the Uniden BC780XLT there is no good freeware software out
there and you need a RS232C M/F 9-Pin cable Do not get one from
Radio**** or from ScannerMaster they want your right arm and your left
nut. It's a NULL Modem cable you can get one at:

for $3.99 and the good software is ARC780 at

http://www.butel.nl/

advantages you ask, well with ARC780 you can add any frequ you see on any
web-site in the world with a simple cut and past. So you don't have to
set for hours programing the radio by hand. You can record right to hard
drive anything you hear going on. And the cost of the BC780XLT is
reansonable, i.e. you can pick one up on eBay for about $250.00 I got my
3rd one there for $190.00 a few months ago. The BC780XLT and ARC780 are
an excelent combo.
