Hi Jeff,

Right now I am looking hard at a free program called Win95 for my Pro-95
scanner.  It isn't the easiest thing in the world to use but I am actually
getting the hang of it.  If you can use the jaws cursor or its equivalent in
Window Eyes, you can make it work, I think.  The jury is still out on that.
Have you played around with the Radio Shack scanner programming software?  I
wonder if it is any friendlier to speech than this one.  I looked briefly at
Scancat but that looks almost completely unusable by a blind person.

Take care and very 73.

Thanks Steve.  Is there anyone out there that is using any other
trunktracker software other then the BC245XLT's Interface?  It is hard to
get around because there is a visual representation of the keypad on your
monitor, but it is useful for reading the radio's display when you want to
know that unknown frequency or TG.  I only use the 245 every now and then
for monitoring Motorola type I or IIi hybrid systems and those are gradually
being phased out in my area and everyone i  either moving to at least type
II or digital.  I have found tt difficult to program in a type I fleet map
on the BC250D and when reading the software manual for the E-scanner program
it didn't impress me too much, and I think that the most I would do with the
E-scanner program is just look at the dispaay if I can.
