EZ-Grab is a utility designed to bring in frequencies with alpha tags, tones, and other information into FreeSCAN with only a few clicks of the mouse. You can import from such sources as web pages, Excel, other scanner software, or CSV files. You can even bring in frequencies from paper magazine publications by scanning them using an optical scanner, then using OCR software to translate it into text, then copying the text to the clipboard and bringing it into EZ-Grab. As long as the data is formatted consistently, EZ-Grab will allow you to take frequency information from just about anywhere and import it without spending hours retyping.
