OK then here's a not dumb question. Is there any indicator on the display to signify that the scanner is looking for digital signals? Inside the manual it show a P25 icon and on the manual cover it show a frequency and APCO 25 displayed right in the middle. I have seen neither of those and when I program the channels I don't see either indication anywhere. I am still programing manually with the manual. Brian In a message dated 1/10/2009 8:46:18 P.M.

I use a *very* old version of ARC250 and it meets my needs perfectly. I have however heard mixed results of people using the USB to serial cable but for they most part the reports have been positive. -Roger On Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 10:10 AM, brian.daniels12 <_zaxdad6-FvqoLs0/[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > wrote: > Oops, my bad.
