RE: Scanner Features Wishlist

You forgot temp lockout, as the Motorola Spectra has. You hit a button
and whatever talkgroup you were on is locked out until you stop scan or
power the radio off/on.  That would be nice for those long winded
conversations that you'd rather not hear but are afraid to lock out
because tomorrow you DO want to scan that talkgroup/freq.

Subject: [UnidenBC785D] Scanner Features Wishlist




I have no idea if Uniden reads this list or not..but I thought I would
comment on some features I'd like to see in the next Uniden scanner in
list of priority...


1) PC Control via USB port not RS232. Or Both. rs232 ports are from
the drak ages. 

2) Include audio in the data sent to the PC when using pc control

3) vol/sq control via pc control (would require up/down volume and
squelch buttons instead of knobs on the scanner itself?)

4) Per channel and per bank tone search rather than scannerwide.
(would almost put this as number 1. )

5) User definable banks, keep the number at 10, but let the user
define them. So like Bank 1 could be 1-15 and bank 2 could be 16-150
or something.


For some reason I thought I had more. I consider 1-4 almost required.

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..
