Optoelectronics Optocom Software Suggestion

[mikea7531]

I just recieved an Optocom the other day (without bit-banger) and i could use some suggestions on what software to use. I've seen a few out there, but i want to see what everyone else thinks. I need it to be able to do Motorola I, II (VHF, UHF, 800Mhz) EDACS, PL, and DPL. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

If you need both trunking and conventional, the only current solution is Scan*Star Spectrum Commander, available at http://www.scanstar.com . I had an Optocom and was not very satisfied with the way this program followed trunked systems. There is/was a program called TrunkTrac that was dedicated to trunktracking and used the control channel only method. I'm not sure if it's still available but a Google will either find it or not.

The best software you can possibly use for the Optocom is Probe. It will work only with conventional but it is absolutely superb. I know the author personally and hold him in the highest regard. Probe is unbeatable. Check http://www.datafileinc.com for details.

Best of luck.
