But what we really need is a stand-alone scanner that you can 
program in the field without a damned computer interface.  I have 
had some contact with Whistler about just that thing, but it's 
slow progress.  Perhaps if those of you to also desire an 
accessible scanner would also contact them they might get the 
hint that more than one person out here would like an accessible 
scanner.  I am using a PSR-500 and BC 245 neither of which are 
made any longer.  Jim WA6EKS

OK thanks, too bad there isn't a scanner that can be controlled 
by a softwa=
re app or web interface.  That is one area that some consumer 
electronics (t=
hink stereo receivers) are well ahead in.

Pretty tough to find Frank.  I am also looking.  I am told that 
the GRE600,=
 no longer manufactured but available used is reasonably but not 
totally ac=
cessible.  And apparently the newer units less so.
