I've never used software for just that reason. Is there any software where 
you can import form an excel file? I know some ham radio software you can 
like the new inaccessible rt systems software, if so, you can always make 
the list of what you want by hand in excel, import it and program the 
scanner that way if you want to use software, do any support that?
