Hello from Central Florida to my fellow 780 users, In response to the email=
s exchanged here: 1. From my research of its website, and years of using th=
e software, Freescan works only with Uniden DMA scanners, and not with prev=
ious models, such as the 780. 2. I've used Butel's ARC 780 and other ARC so=
ftware for other models with great success. Butel is regarded by many hobby=
ists as the top scanner software. http://www.butel.nl
The only downside is that an ARC program will work with only one model of =
scanner. You need to purchase various software packages for the various sca=
nner models you have. 3. I've used Scancat Gold for Windows (my version is =
about a dozen or so years old; I can't speak for newer versions), which is =
useful because the version I used allows databases to be used for multiple =
models of scanners. www.scancat.com 4. I've used Bob Aune's Proscan, which =
is also very good. http://www.proscan.org 5. There was freeware named AFS 7=
80 on the web that would program the BC-780 and BC-245. However, the author=
of that program appears to have removed it from the web years ago. You mig=
ht find it in a web search. Also, I believe one of the members of this grou=
p posted the installation file for AFS 780 in the files section of this ema=
il group a few years ago.
6. Radio Reference has a wiki on scanner software that also has information=
on this topic.
Here's one area of the site: http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Unid=
en_Legacy_Software_Support
Also check the forums for discussion of scanner software for this model. I=
f you are a registered user of Radio Reference, you can post questions ther=
e and get responses from experienced scanner users. The 780 was a great, =
breakthrough product when it was introduced in approx 1999. Scanner technol=
ogy has improved dramatically since then. The 780 still works great, but it=
's not capable of working properly on rebanded Motorola 800 MHz analog trun=
k systems, although most such systems have been retired, and replaced with =
digital. Most public safety systems have been moved or are moving to digit=
al. Happy scanning.

If you have come here to find out about the Uniden BC-780 you have come to the right place! In fact the discussion of the BC-780 is the only acceptable topic on this list. Please. I hope this is clear to all group members.<BR>
