Great little scanner . I have 2 of the popular scanner software 's which make it easier and almost fun to program . if you would like a nice informative manual do a search for Marksscanners , he write a great manual . you can print it out if you like , just have a fresh reem of paper handy . this scanner replace my bct780xlt . great price here at Amazon.com I use all my scanner remotely in house with software and pc . I also have a bct396t which work great . also have the Icom pcr-1500 .
