I've done it in WIN97, I enter a HEX value and it converts to DEC...W4KRR said:I'm pretty sure you haven't.
For one thing, the words hex and hexadecimal don't even appear in the Owner's manual for the BC785D. How would the scanner know if the number you're entering was supposed to be a hex number or a decimal number? And how do you enter the letters a through f that are required by the hex number system?
