    Butel ARC300 Sort Frequencies

    Is there a way in Butel ARC300 to automatically sort the frequency list? I understand sorting frequencies in memory will often speed up scanners. I don't know if that applies to the PRO-163 and PRO-164 or not but I'd like to try it. I don't see any way to do that in Butel ARC300. Is that...

    Butel ARC300 Download Nationwide Frequencies

I let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to see...

    Pro-164 fmn?

    My local police just changed to 151.325 R D606 which I gather is "fmn", can I listen to this on a Pro-164? Currently I have it programmed in as "FM" as there is no "fmn" mode available to choose. If I leave it at FM will I receive the scanner traffic? Thanks?

    Pro-164: cutting out on transmissions

    I posted about this in my other thread but maybe I should start a new thread. I had this problem another time and it got worse and worse until there were no more transmissions at all on the SCPD. (Everything else worked tho). RS repair only said on the papework, "Repaired to working order"...

    Radio Shack PRO-164

    Does anyone know of a program software similar to the WIN500, but for Radio Shack’s PRO-164 Scanner. There has to be something out there better than Scan Cat.
