I bought the software online from radio reference and never could get the driver or software to work..I want a refund on this $54 I paid . How do I get this back? The process was the most frustrating one I have ever had!
Can you be a little more specific on exactly what software you have and where you purchased it? Is your scanner the Radio Shack PRO-651?
Radio Reference does not sell the ProScan software, and the ProScan software is not meant to be used with the PRO-651 scanner... it won't work at all.
If you're talking about the ARC500 software from Butel that you purchased from Radio Reference, It does work very well. There are many articles here on the RR WIKI that will help you to understand how to install the drivers and use the software. Your scanner is the same as the PSR500.

As far as refunds, if you did purchase the software from RR, this was part of the purchase form that you had to put a check mark in when you purchased the software:
"I understand that refunds are not available for software license purchases or RadioReference premium subscriptions."
