>First, If you're bringing a Scanner, Radio Reference
www.radioreference.com

there. In the

Las Vegas

"OPenSky"
>system (Called "DesertSky in Las Vegas) which cannot be monitored
with

of switching

>Second, As I offered those who I might have run into at the NFB
convention,
>If you own a PSR500 or PSR600 scanner, I'll be glad to share my
Las

and running.
>Finally, If there's enough interest, I'll have my laptop running
the PSR500
>app from PSREdit along with my PSR500 scanner and 40-cell Braille
display at
>the Freedom Scientific Training booth. If you want to drop by
and see the
>kind of information you can glean from the Braille display as the
scanner
>scans, I'll set it up. If there's not enough expressed interest
the first
>day (or sent to my email address), I'll keep the scanner handy
and will be
>glad to set things up if we're not too slammed.
