When will Whistler make a larger screen so it's easier to read? That is the only thing keeping me from trying one. It's also the reason why I have never bought a Radio Shack scanner.

You could probably outfit one with a magnifying lenses that is glued to the case above the screen. Here's an example of a product designed for larger monitors.

As a halfway blind guy this is a remarkable idea. Thanks for pointing it out. Just what i need for my iMac monitor.

Here is my setup: https://dl.orangedox.com/EenUyNFNbcuvLdkmbr
I put a penny on the LCD there for sizing.
RaspberryPI + LCD cost me around $30.
I then use http://forums.radioreference.com/whistler-scanners/349122-trx-2-maybe-trx-1-cross-platform-api.html which uses ncurses to draw on the bigger LCD.
You can buy bigger LCDs, or heck, use the HDMI output.

I looked through your code, but I haven't used the program yet. Thanks for offering that. I would enjoy talking with you more about the programming. justin@digitalfrequencysearch.com.
Taping to the back a Raspberry Pi with its own interface is something else. I've considered the same, but I don't know how I feel about making others' products more valuable/desirable. If everything was open source and free, I certainly would, but with all of the controls, encryption, patents, and other barriers, I just don't know.

I've maintained some of the largest OSS projects currently, and in the past; all 2 clause BSD licensed. Needless to say, nothing I am doing is going to be closed source.
