try FREESCAN
ScanNow.org - The Home of FreeSCAN!

its free software to program your scanner... if you get a premium membership here you can download directly from the database into freescan

or ask in your local state/province forum for someone local who has a file for your area

Take a look at the RR database and let us know what towns / cities and services interest you and we can put together a file that you can load into the scanner to get you started:
Hartford County, Connecticut (CT) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

As previously mentioned; download and install FreeScan ( ScanNow.org - The Home of FreeSCAN! ) on your computer and then get your scanner hooked up to the PC if you have not already done so. You will need this software to load the data file into your radio. The process here will put you on the "fast track" to learning and understanding the 346XT and is, by far, the fastest and esiest way to get up and running.

Going forward.... as Torontokris has mentioned.... you should subscribe to the RR Database for future programming needs. Doing so will make life with your new DMA scanner infinitely easier.
