Feed from headphone/speaker out jack on the scanner into the microphone/line-in port on computer using standard 3.5mm stereo plug cable. Using a regular microphone is not recommended as it would pick up background noise. The cable is the best method.

Since the output from your scanner will typically overload the mic input and sound horrible, and many laptops now have no line-in, this is what I use:

Creative Xmod - From low fidelity to Xtreme Fidelity in an instant!=

There are cheaper solutions for USB input also. Although this is not quite what I was looking for there are ones that look just like this that have a Line-In instead of a Mic-In:

USB 2.0 to Mic/Speaker 5.1 Audio Sound Card Adapter,K02 - (eBay.ca item 290314599706 end time 02-Jun-09 10:24:45 EDT)

Not sure what you are asking now. Did the three posts above not give you enough info?
