Re: Scanner Program - USB??

I have 2 BC785D's and a BC796D and use all three on usb converters
with ARC250Pro.  One of my usb converters is the one from Radio Shack,
I think it was around 45.00.  The other two are IoGear GUC232A.  I
purchased these two at Best Buy for around 30.00.  Have not had the
first problem with either of the three.  My Pro2052 and Icom R8500
also work with all of these converters.  Butel also offers a converter
on their web site.  Check it out.

If you have come here to find out about the 785D you have come to the right place! In fact the discussion of the BC-785D and how it works is the only acceptable topic on this list. Any discussion about anything other than the BC-785D is OFF TOPIC. I hope this is clear to all group members..
