I had a BCT-15 first and found it fairly straight forward with the help of the Butel software and access to the RR database import feature. Got a Pro-97 and a copy of Win97 and it still, to this day, seems old school compared to Butel but then again, a BCT-15 compared to a Pro-97 is similar.Gooser said:I'm tossed between a Pro-2055 and a BCT15. I have always thought about the 15 due to the DMM, # of channels, plug in trunk channels w/o having to worry about plugging in talk groups, temp L/O, yada, yada...but it seems like a steep learning curve to program/use.
Have a Pro-97 and have become familiar with WIN97 fairly easily...a lot of it due to some cool scannerds here.
Question...is the Butel software as intuitive/easy to use as WIN97?
Picked up a BCT15 from Scanners Unlimited today.Gooser said:Thanks N2MDK and NoRide for your comments regarding software ease of use between WIN97 and BuTel.
I downloaded a trial version of BuTel for the BCT15 and it seems pretty straight forward.
Think I will be eating a lot of Mickey D $1 Double Cheeseburgers for lunch so I can pay for the BCT15. And, to keep this thread related, program it myself
Thanks Again...

I'm not holding my breath.......
I'll do it for free.... if you live in my area and will call if you hear something.... give me a few days and I might even customize an entire V-Folder or freq load for your Rat Shack PRO and email it to you.... if I had a sawski for eveyscanner I have programmed or every freq list emailed I'd have enough saved for the new PRO XXX what ever that might be....who knows, I might even have a Uniden.
I am in the Lexington, KY area.... (and, if done properly, $85 to $100 for trunker isn't an unfair price-consider additional costs)
