I use the Pro-96 with Starrsoft software. I do get some minor distortion on the Berkely site, but still am able to copy the transmissions. The Jefferson site comes in much better. I import the systems and the talkgroups from Radioreference into the software, then download it directly it into the radio. That sure saves a lot of time and typing. It took me a while to learn the process, but was well worth it.
