Professional Programmers for Scanners in Oregon? SUCCESS
The Answer is... YES! There is help available in the Beaverton/Portland area!!!
Thanks to K2NCC, (aka Frank Ravenswood of Eagle Eye Computer in Hillsboro), the search for help in RR was a success!!!
Polite; professional; punctual; picked it up, loaded it up with all of the frequencies that I wanted, with a few other fun ones thrown in for good measure), and delivered it back to me. Along with a type-written cheat sheet re. which banks holds what; a small plasticized cheat sheet card with the same info; AND gave me a run-down on how to operate the equipment. ALL for a super-low price!!!
For Computers, Scanners, or Ham Equipment - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
