No it's basically the same as Pro-107. Go download win500.
I would suggest you try ARC 500 since it also has a free 30 day trial ($40) after 30 days. Whichever program you choose you will need a programming cable from Radio Shack and a premium subscription to Radio Reference ($15 for 6 months, $30 for a year). I tried WIN 500 and it did not work for me.

While you do need a programming cable, you by no means need a RR subscription. It makes life easier but is not at all required.
It's required if you want to download the database directly into your software program. Otherwise you are left with cut and paste.
Of course you can extend the logic and say that a software program is not required either since the scanner can be programmed manually.
You would be correct, you could do just that. My point (as you obviously missed it) was that you said "you will need a programming cable from Radio Shack and a premium subscription to Radio Reference", implying that you MUST have those things, I was pointing out for the OP that they are not an absolute requirement, they will make programming easier, but are not must haves.
Anything else you want to argue about?
Yes, you are right. They are not required but as you point out they sure make things a lot easier. If you invest in a software program you might as well go all the way and get the cable and subscription. However, it just occurred to me that there are other benefits that come with the premium subscription besides the ability to download the database directly to your program. The OP may want to consider if those benefits are of interest to him. Here is the link for that information.
