BANK TAGS

Thanks so much again guys for your help. The top line my display showed the talk group # and the list #, then again on the 4th line the list # was shown. I programmed all the bank #'s into the talk group description and also added another tag (very general description) as a text tag to each group of...

ARC250

Thanks for the advice. It makes sense.

I have downloaded the demo version and am having a few problems getting to run right. But as soon as I get the bugs out I will get the full version.

If for no other reason than everyone seems to use it & share files on it.

Thanks.

796D SOFTWARE

I just purchased a 796D & am new to all of this. I'm sure I will have a lot of questions for this forum as time goes by. I have read that the Uniden software isn't the best available, but I'm going to use it at least until I feel more comfortable w/ the radio. Included w/ my radio was ver 1.0 Do...

Trunk Radio

Thanks for the reply. I read the post and am starting to understand what it's all about. Yes, it sure has changed from the 70's!

Could you recomend an entry level digital hand held scanner w/ the features needed for 2005?

Trunked ?

Thanks for the reply and help Sean.

I see the term "trunked" used a lot, but I don't understand what it means. I did some scanning in the 70's and never heard the term back then.

I am using a Uniden BC92XLT scanner.
