I've got both and according to the reviews I've seen the Bearcat was supposed to be more sensitive. I can
tell no difference in either scanner. Both pick up extremely well and equal. As for which is the best ,it
comes down to what features you would rather have. The Radio Shack is harder to program off the keypad but
there are programs to make it a snap to do on the computer. The Bearcat is extremely handy if you have a
Scancat program. As far as I'm concerned they are both terrific scanners on the Edacs system I am using them for.

This programs in my humble opinion deserves a 10 - but having never had any program of a ten as a base point it get's a nine. A great program, ease of use and functional.

I believe this software would work with any Trunking radio, as long as you have VB 6.0 or higher installed in Windows.

An excellent utility leaving only the imagination of the user on how one can exploit its many uses. Rated a nine as v2.9.0 is supposedly the last version to support the BC245xlt - hopefully support will be restored and it'll get 10 stars.

You all did a good job. Alot of these guys & gals expect too much when it comes to software and instructions. If I can muddle around with it and get the hang of it then any of these prissy prisses should be able to also. And I am by far the smartest guy on the planet. Thanks for the use of the software. - Mike (Springtown TX)

Clean and simple makes it very effective. I would give it a 10, if it would update the ID ALPHA tags on the scanner itself.

Excellent for capturing audio for those unknown channels/talk groups. Documentation could be better.

Wish it had help built-in, but for the price, who's complaining? Excellent program that does what it's supposed to with no muss, no fuss. Packs a lot of features and works well with Windows XP. Great resource for those of us who own TrunkTrackers.

I could never get this working even though all of my other trunking programs worked. Dose NOT work for Pro-1053. Download did not say you had to have the certen scanners listed in the notes.
