Revision as of 15:19, 25 January 2010
When you are a newcomer, and want to use software to program and/or back up the contents of your scanner, the natural question is 'which is the best'? While it's always true that the 'best' software is in the eye of the user, generally speaking there are some packages that are much more popular than others.
Scancat Lite Plus has been visible for awhile now, and is beginning to support the new GRE scanners. However, as documented on several occasions in the various RR forums, it's not the best choice, in most cases. This article lists the most popular packages, by scanner, in use by RR members. With the exception of Scan Control, all the other packages support connecting to the RadioReference database and downloading data directly. To enable this function you must have a premium subscription which you can read about in the link.
