FreeScan Software - Scanner Programming

FreeScan is exactly what the title implies.  A free scanning software and a dang good one.  I use FreeScan to program all of my Bearcat scanners.  Bearcat scanners are amongst the most popular scanners out there so this software comes in great handy to the majority.

When you first look at the software it might look complex.  I actually figured out the software by simply playing around with it for an hour or so.  There are good instructions on the FreeScan website as well as a support forum.

What makes this software amazing is if your a premium member of Radio Reference, all you have to do is log in through the FreeScan software and import the frequencies straight from Radio Reference.

If you dont feel like paying for a premium membership you can apply to be a feed broadcaster.  Feed broadcasters get free premium memberships.

145.1700 Scanner Feed Online

I am happy to announce I have the 145.1700 EchoLink repeater feed online.  This feed uses a GRE PSR-500 hand held scanner.

This repeater is owned and operated by Wayne Write (KA5QDG).  The repeater is located on one of the tallest buildings downtown Houston more than 1100 feet in the air.

Pictured left is Wayne at the site of the repeater.  I spoke to Wayne a few times and he always welcomes people to come on over and talk on his repeater.

You can dial in through EchoLink on node 5551.

If you found the repeater through this site be sure to let people know and tell Wayne I said hello!
