Unfortunatly Scan Control does not control the 895, it just programs
it (I know 'cause I was one of the beta testers). The only trunking
control programs out there for the 895 - and running them on XP is dicey
at best - include Scancat, Winscan, Radio Manager/Trunk Manager. The
2004 edition of Radio Manager is interesting; it works just fine in the
trunking mode, but doesn't work at all on my early firmware 895 in
conventional mode. PC895 is the grandfather to Winscan, and there's
another one - Freetracker - that's available on the 895 Yahoo groups.
But if PC895 is working for you, it *might* be interesting to try
Winscan 2.1. In fact, I'd post some queries about Winscan and XP
compatibility on the BC895 Yahoo groups and see what gives. Personally,
I think Winscan is about as good as it gets. 73s and GL...Mike

I need a good control software progie for windows xp.
I looked at some but most a over priced for what they do.
I am now using PC895 Version 2, is there a better one out there?
Tried Scancat but it was only a demo version.
Thanks
