Software Recommendation for the PRO-2096 & PRO-96

[NEK1213]

What's the suggested software for downloading existing frequencies and reprogramming updated frequencies into the PRO-2096 and PRO-96? I'm currently listening to analog and P25 frequencies in the radios in northern New England. Thanks in advance.

I personally would shy away from anything StarrSoft as the author has been AWOL from RR for years now. Some members have reported issues receiving what they paid for.

A better choice may be Butel as the author is active on the forums.

I second Butel ARC96 software. Which agencies do you want to monitor? The PRO-96 and PRO-2096 can decode P25 Phase 1 only and cannot trunk track 700 MHz frequencies.

I have been a user of win96 from Starrsoft ever since I purchased (new) my Pro96.

Don't know about any bad experiences, as mentioned above, but the site is still active.

Also, I don't see how you can go wrong trying the free " 30 day trial." It is available for downloading at:

I have seen numerous reports of members unable to obtain keys for Starrsoft software after paying for them.

Thanks for the responses. P25 Phase 1 works for my listening.

I had no problem with receiving my key after paying for Win96.

How long ago?

 

[DVINTHEHOUSEMAN]

I think it was last year.

Thanks for the responses. P25 Phase 1 works for my listening.

Any particular agencies or trunked systems?

i would say hands down Win 96 but you can only use it for a month then it stops working thats when you have to use the 180 day key then it stops working for good cuz the owner of the softwear as fallen off the face of the earth so there is no way to buy it
