Receiver Software Applications
From The RadioReference Wiki
Be sure to check the article for the specific receiver you are researching; dedicated software for that receiver is often listed there.
Also see our Amateur Radio Transceiver Control article for additonal packages.
As newer PCs don't have serial ports, connections must be made between the scanner and the PC through USB. This can present some difficulties in understanding how to configure the connection correctly. Please see our Connecting scanners via USB article for more information.
