Re: Re: APCO Channels

I use the Arc250 pro and again have had no problems with it. I really enjoy the part where I can actually see what is going on on my screen. Lots of activity around San Diego.

  Great news. That brings my laptop into play.Now my next question is what is 
  the best software for programing this thing? The ARC250 seems to be mentioned 
  alot. Should I go for the Professional version? Anything else out there worth 
  looking at? I have the scanner behind me running with the frequencies 
  plugged in manually and nothing for the last three hours. Unless all the criminals 
  left and the crazy drivers suddenly developed skills, I'm thinking something 
  is not yet programmed correctly. Thanks for all the input so far. I wish I 
  had found this site about two years ago.
