Any software to control my Pro-97 from computer screen?

[k9-cop]

I am wondering if there is a software program out there that I can use to control my Pro-97 scanner in real time. Control it from my computer to scan, change channels, and so forth.......

It doesn't allow real time control. The radio doesn't handle the data in that manner.

In that case which scanners out there that are not more than $200 do allow real time contol?

Several - the old, venerable BC895 and BC780 and the newer BC898t are only 3 examples. Trunking or not? Be more specific about your needs? Do you need digital (from the original question, I'd say not, but I could be wrong). Our Wiki has full information on these and much more 73s Mike

The Radio Shack Pro-2052 will run in real time control and is on sale for 100 bucks. I reccomeend ScanControl software.

I do not need any kind of trunking, just basic scanning functions. The only other feature I really use is the CT decode so I can read the CTS tones.
