| New Scanner While slightly O/T for Ham's - this is still about the best forum I could find for this... 
Picked up a new scanner last week, to replace my trusty, but non-digital Bearcat. Ended up with a RadioShack Pro-106.
I was worried about the new "Object Oriented Programming" model... But after consulting some other forums, ended up getting the Win500 software to program it with.
Wow - how easy, and how cool!
I can't believe how easily I got the trunking loaded, and how well the unit pulls in both analog and digital signals...
Can't recommend this unit highly enough!

Unfortunately I don't think the Pro 106 allows for the best feature of Win500. That is the controllable streaming client. I am sitting at work with 4 counties of listening at my control. I also use the remote client for Window Mobile. Fun stuff for sure! | |

Angus, ON | I noticed all the remote server options; but haven't even started to look at them yet. The "local" win500 controls the scanner nicely; so I think the remote should work, which would be bonus, since I travel for work... | |

| Re: New Scanner Yep, I think you will be good. I don't know why I thought the RS versions of the scanner didn't work with the control. Maybe I was thinking of different models. Sounds like you are set. Don't know if you have been there yet.. but »radioreference.com is a must visit site for you or anyone into scanning! Have fun. | |

| OK - the remote scanner access works good across the LAN - now to play with my firewall, and see if I can get it from the outside...
And yes, I'm a member at RadioReference... Never would have gotten the scanner programmed so quickly without it! | |

Clarkston, MI | x3 on that. I'd be so lost w/o it. I've even had to use it @ work a few times. | |

Dayton, OH | I would recommended a real obscure port since there is no way to authenticate with the software. That plus dynamic DNS service to always find your way home.
RR is great and worth every penny for automatic database import. | |
