I've forgotten so much.. I've got an old Radio Shack Pro 2022. Can this still be used to listen to storm spotter on RACES network. And, if so, where would I find a frequency list for and around the DFW area? I feel like it's starting all over again.

Also have a RS Pro106 that way back when I used Win 500 (I think) and a programming cable, but have completely forgot how to use, or if that is even still possible.

Advice/Opinions sought. (y)

Thanks for the links. I think I was able to find most of the ones I am interested in.

On the RS 106, Is Win 500 still the best (easiest) route to take to see what's in all the talkgroups and to make changes? For recall, I think there was a fee for using Win 500, and be paid subscriber to RR ?

There are three software packages that work with the Pro-106 and similar models produced both by GRE as wells (now) Whistler.

These are Win500, PSREdit500, as well as ARC500.

All three have a free trial period. My personal preference is Win500, with PSREdit500 a close second. But Don Starr, the author of Win500 has not been active & responsive for several years. Multiple threads and posts up in the software forum and elsewhere by people who paid, online, to purchase a license for Win500, but never got a response, & had to resort to filing claims with whoever handled the payment to get a refund.
