I hope to make it to that list.  I definitely need a new scanner.  My old 
pro 2006 is nothing more than a glorified weather radio now.

Hi Jim,
It would be good to see you on the monitoring list.

Where are you located?

Hi and thanks Ron.  Sounds like an interesting list.  I have been listening
to Public Service radio stuff much longer than I've been a ham.  Still do it
even though it has become much more challenging what with agencies going
trunked and then digital trunked on top of that.  I'll try to subscribe, but
I am reading your email on my Apex which does strange things when reading
braille.  I'll check out your email on the PC and see if I can subscribe
using it.  Best 73, Jim

Hi Jim and everyone,
I don't have immediate info about the software but will ask some VI friends
who do use it.

Regarding interest in scanner receivers, you may be surprised at how many
hams are also comms monitors (or perhaps you won't be so surprised).  if you
are interested, there is a list which has been recently started specifically
as a place for scanner hobbyists who are blind to gather and swap ideas,
info, etc.  It is the "Monitoring Blind" list and you can send a blank email
to:

to subscribe.

I hope to see you there.

Subject: FreeScann software and handheld scanners?

Hi list, I am wondering if anyone uses the software called FreeScan to work
with the newer trunking scanners like the PSR or Uniden scanners.
If so,
how accessible is the software with screen readers? Also, does anyone have
experience with the Uniden
396 handheld scanner? I have the PSR 500 handheld which works fine but am
interested in the capabilities of the Uniden scanner as well.  If you want,
write me off list because it probably doesn't interest everyone here, even
though it is dealing with radios.  Jim WA6EKS
