I think that it sas something else that acted as a frequency counter.  I'm
not sure and I don't remember as I saw this post quite a while ago.  I
know that I remember someone saying that the talking frequency counter
that was out back then was really expensive.  I'd like to know if anyone
has had any luck with a scanner or trdio that talks and displays and
speaks out the frequency when you are searching through
frequencies?  Better still, has anyone had any luck with th trunktracking
software that I guess will display talk group IDS and radio IDS on a
computer?  Has anyone been able to get that to work with a screen reader?
