i just got the pro 106 and like it
I have just gotten the GRE PSR-500. I live out in the boonies but travel around a lot. it works great. I have it on side by side with my desk top and find that it does not miss any calls on the rubber duckie antena.

I have both the Pro-106 (same as PSR-500) and the GRE PSR-800. Love them both for digital, so it depends on your hobby preferences (although I find the 800 more sensitive). If you like more traditional scanners with the ability to program on the fly, have full control either via keyboard or software, then the Pro-106/PSR-500 would probably be a better choice. If you want a less complicated (and less hands on) experience with the entire US database on your radio with the ability to set up playlists and select them, but no direct entry capabilities (without a PC), then the PSR-800 (or Pro-18) is a better choice.
Both have their pluses and minuses, but I don't think you can go wrong with either choice. As I get older, my preference is quicker and easier, so I lean towards the 800.
Good luck with your choice!

IMO in following order:
Win500 becuse all TSYS & TGRP and details are on same page and by far best for Remote Ops.
PSREdit
ARC500

I have used the Pro-96 and have found it to be a good handheald as well. You use the ARC 96 software to program both the pro 96 and pro 2096

ARC500 will rope you in with that CD and all 3 above have 30 day free trial.
Get Win500: PSR-500, PSR-600, PRO-106, PRO-197, PSR-310, PSR-410 Scanner Software for Data Management, Monitoring, and Control
with outstanding WIN500 - UtahRadio
or PSREdit - Configuration Editors for the new GRE line of scanners
Again, that CD may ruin an opportunity to trial Win500 or PSREdit.

Also one wonders why Full version is stuck on 1.4 while basic has surpassed to 1.5 then 1.6 then 1.7.
Full version (mine) has been waiting for a long time to correctly import from RR.

If he would set it up, the scanner user can reliably tell. Win500 will allow a setting to auto detect in remote operations. ARC won't even give us a chance.
However, do as you wish!
I also use Win500 and like it. I would take Franks advice. You can download it from Software for RadioShack PRO-series (PRO-92, 93, 95, 96, 97, 99, 163, 164, 106, 197) and GRE PSR-series (PSR-500, 600, 300, 400, 310, 410) scanners
yea isnt that a trial i want the whole version so i dont have to download evrytime i want to program something on it

Win500 and PSREdit only offer FULL version period...not so for ARC500.

Yes, use a link provided above to download. Buy the scanner and cable from any source. ScannerMaster is ok. Do not let them talk you into ARC.
