I have noticed that alot of people have their scanners hooked to computers and have the scanner display on the computer screen. What is the benifit of that and does the audio also come through the computer?
My most valuable feature is the logging...esp useful when trying to find PL/DPL. The logging is great when searching, but it is also handy for normal scanning. Often, I do not look up in time to see what agency was just talking, so I just look at the log.I have noticed that alot of people have their scanners hooked to computers and have the scanner display on the computer screen.

Don't understand the question. Scanners all resume scanning after 0-6 sec of no signal unless you have put it on hold on a channel. Are you talking about a scanner, or a software program, which was the original topic.ok well to stay on his topic, whats a program that after a certain amount of sec with like no signal will it auto just keep scanning? been wondering this for a while with mine
Ok, sounds like you have one channel that has an open carrier, or other data type signal. If that channel has voice that comes and goes, the scanner should resume after the voice has stopped. Sometimes, a repeater will remain on(stuck open), but this should be fixed in a few hours. I guess it could also be a "birdie". Do you hear voice on this channel, or is it just quiet hissing?yea software my scanner will sit on a freq. all day long if i dont l/o or rescan
Since you are not answering my questions, I can only advise that you lock that channel out. It is probably a birdie or computer interference, and has nothing to do with software.not like that im talking bout jsut like a static filled channel with no voice just static like a dead channel
http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/BC-RH96What models support virtual control head operation?
Sorry. I believe nearly all scanners on the market for past 3-4 years support virtual control. Not every program on this list incorporates virtual control, but here is a list for you to check out: http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Radio_Control_Software In general, Butel provides that feature on most of it's versions, so you can see what models are supported by ARC programs as a starting point.No no...
VIRTUAL control head, as in, on (computer) screen display that mimics the physical control head.
