RE: Re: Software to control scanner

This isn't true, the software source is available and free to update as you
want.  I don't know where Senss is as he is off the grid but the source is
open and free to anyone that wants it.  I can't upload to the group but send
me your address and I'll send you the two versions I have.  One is the basic
install and one was the upgrade.  They were done as a VB project so you need
the software for Visual Studio 6 or the time to sort it out.  Both compile
fine into a installer but you must install in order unless you update the
installer.  Sorry, I don't have time to play with it.  Pduffy211 At the

See if the people of Senss will release the code so that you can re-work it
as an update.  They will probably want it back after you re-worked it and
take the credit for it, but so what, the update will have been made.

I still use my 245 all the time even thou I have newer radios. I agree about
the Senss software.

Virtually no one actively supports this scanner with software anymore; I
wrote to Ken D. with some suggestions for Scan Control (which is about the
best there is, and I really hate their banks editor; and it is unstable at
best on my XP machine...) to improve it, and he wrote back saying it's such
an old radio, he's not interested in any more version changes to support it.
I would bet you would get a similar response from all the others that
*claim* to support it...

I really wish that someone would pick up the ball and redo the Senss program
(and add a RadioReference import option). It seems there are still a number
of 245s out there...73 Mike
