System information

Introduction:

Pro96Com is designed to decode the 9600 baud APCO-P25 control channel

information using the Pro-96 scanner from Radio Shack and GRE. Data from the

control channel is presented on various tabs on the screen.

Pro96Com was made possible in part by GRE when they published the

procedure for extracting this information from the Pro-96. It was also made

possible with the release of the Pro96dmp program written by Rick Parrish. Rick

has also answered a number of questions for me as they arose and his help is

very much appreciated.

Pro96Com is also capable of controlling a Uniden BC250D, BC296D, or BC796D

scanner to monitor the system. While the program can control other models,

these are the only ones that can currently monitor digital systems and thus are

the only scanners supported in this release.

Acknowledgments:

I would like to thank the KQA414 group, Jim Sokol, and José E. Torres for their

assistance on testing the various versions of this software while in development. I

would also like to thank Rick Parrish for developing the Pro96Dmp program and

answering my questions (and there were a lot of them early on).
