Hey guys, today I purchased a BCD996P2 and while im waiting for delivery I am researching FreeScan. This is my first PC programmable scanner. I decided to use FreeScan because, well, free is in the name. I have a couple questions I dont quite understand and would love if someone could clear things up for me.
1. When setting up a new system can I put all my channels under one system even if they are mixed types or do I need a system for each type of frequency? I thought I could make a single system with digital, conventional etc but now im unsure.
2. If I set a quickkey is that just for use on the physical scanner or does it server any purpose inside of freescan itself?
3. Any recommendations on a good and easy recording program thats not Freescan itself or is the Freescan recording good?
4. (unrelated to freescan) My plan is to use the record out AUX to the Line input on my PC soundcard with a stereo 3.5mm cable. Is this the best connection to make?
Thanks for anyone who takes the time to help a noob out. Only ever had the Radioshack Pro106 about 8 years ago and after regrettable selling it. im back on the scene!
