Thanks for correcting me. I have one of those "confusing" programs. :lol: I don't know if this has been discussed before, but it was one of your experiments that showed sequential frequency order allowed for faster scanning.
So with Freescan, you have to make sure the file you are using is completely sorted each time you load. The only complaint I have with that is that I would need 2 versions and must keep them synchronized. I really need to have one set organized by logical groupings of agencies within groups so I easily find things and add new frequencies to these logical groupings. It just makes mapping what I do and don't have easier. Even if I created lots of extra groups to do the same thing, it would still be a pain to have Police Zone H at the top of the list, and Zone A buried in the middle, and I'd run out of quick keys
With ARC, I keep 1 unsorted profile. When I need to add/delete, I just need to sort the one System, which is fairly painless. I send that one system down, and revert back to the non-sorted profile, having saved the change(s) first. Most of the time, I am adding new freq's found on search or new FCC license issues. I just have one system called Misc Searches, so this is really easy to sort and download. With FreeScan, I would also have a bit more downtime waiting for 1000+ freq to download, esp since many systems are locked out due to location.
It is amazing how impatient we get. I can remember when waiting for a dot matrix printer was "fast", and now I get impatient at my laser printer. I guess I'd pull my hair out waiting for FreeScan :lol:
