It's certainly not very pleasant to program the trunking manually in an
RS/GRE scanner, that's for sure.

Ha! If you think RS/GRE is difficult, try manually programming Uniden's new
BCD396T!

It's not even really that it's difficult. I mean, if you do what it
says in the manual, you will successfully program the scanner. It's
just tedious, time-consuming, and completely unintuitive, such that you
continue to NEED the manual (and potentially hours of time). Honestly,
I can become proficient at even an Icom
push-this-hold-that-turn-this-other-thing scheme more quickly than
program a GRE for trunking manually with any efficiency.

OTOH, with Win9*, it takes only a few minutes to be swapping trunked
systems in and out of the scanner at will.

If RS had any idea what to do with itself other than stumble and bumble
toward death, it would see about paying Mr. Starr $5 a unit or something
to license that software and include it in the box.
