I'm looking for software to remotely control and listen to a BCD996T. The listening post is in a valley and I need to put the scanner at a higher location a couple of miles from my building.

The setup will be on a LAN, and will use IP addresses inside our building. Thus, it will not use internet at all. We tried this once before using an internet connection, and the stream would break up and eventually just lock up.

Our LAN is always on and not subject to internet slowdowns or connections being broken. It is also thousands of times faster than internet based connections.

I need software, that communicates over IP. The connection is two way and realtime.

Butel's ScannerStation looks good.. but a bit pricey for me.
How about ProScan or ScanControl? But can I remotely control my scanner with those.. (i.e. lockout quickeys.. change frequencies ect) In other words.. do just about anything I could do if the scanner was still sitting in front of me? And it has to work on a BCD996T.

Any other software that you have tried or even heard of?
