Hi Kevin and the group. I have not had a Radio Shack Scanner since the
Pro-60, which won't interface to a computer. I am going to later on today
if I get time try the Arc software for the 250D and see how it works.
With the interface for the 245 the JAWS cursor helped a lot, and I would
imagine that other will do the same. Has anyone tried Trunker or E-trunk
software?
