what does Dec and Hex mean

Decimal and Hexidecimal. For scanning, just ignore the HEX numbers.

Older trunktrackers (and data slicers, ect) only speak base 16 (hexidecimal).

Here's an link to a neat on-line converter if you're curious about it. There's also some other good info on their site.

Hmm, I have a Pro-90 (same as the BC235XLT; the original TT scanner) and it doesn't use HEX. As a matter of fact, I know of no scanner that does. Trunker does allow display in HEX, but it is the real HEX equivelant to the decimal, not the one we use here on the site.
