I posted this on the Official Pro-83 thread

Our ARC83-lite software (only $19.95) for RadioShack PRO83 will be available December 10th 2004.

THANKS!!!

The ScanCat demo looked rushed and "ungenuine". It is slow and has much leftovers from other radios supported in the software.

The demo is less of a demo than it is a powerpoint show

I use some FREE software I found on the Internet (I gotta look to find the web site again) to load my Pro-82 memory and because it interacts with MS Excel it is very easy to use. I bought the RS software (and cable) with the Pro-82 but it would not work.

Ok it is called Pro-link and it is here:

You know when a bunch of you are talking and someone walks up and says "Yeah that happened to me too" then walks away and none of you can figure out what they were talking about...


Now you know

Wow, pretty touchy group!

Maybe "that guy" was just suggesting that if Pro-83 owners would go to the glyff.net site and suggest through the discussion board there that Glyff extend his FREE software to include the Pro-83, just maybe the author of the FREE software would make something good (oh, did I mention FREE) also cover the Pro-83... Comments on that web site seem to imply that Glyff would be willing to extend his software to include recent scanners.

Nahhhh, couldn't be, "that guy" probably just wanted to have a Burger King fir dinner too. Sorry if I offended.

Whle searching the message board that was associated with the link http://www.glyff.net/software/prolink/ I did a search on Pro-83.

Like I said, I quote myself

yeah, I really don't mind, I was just like ?? :?: ?? when I read it.

Which translates into I don't care, I was just pointing that out to people.

 

[Dubbin]

I was just like ?? Question ?? when I read it.

You're always like that when you read something

JohnBreen posted a message on the ProLink forums requesting that I add support for the Pro-83 scanner to ProLink. I'm looking for information about the protocol and port settings that the Pro-83 uses. I can't seem to find any information online.

If anyone has any information, please let me know. Either E-Mail me at junkmail@glyff.net (yes, it's a real address) or post a message on the ProLink forums at http://www.glyff.net/phpBB2/index.php?c=3


Thanks,
Riley
