Freescan is free programming software that supports the Uniden DMA family of scanners.

This means that it will not work on Home Patrol scanners or older Uniden scanners with standard memory programming.

Freescan software is no longer being developed by the original author, but has been added to GitHub and updates have been added to newer forks.

Free scan allows you to import from the Radio Reference database, you can copy from clipboard, or you can enter information in manually programming.

Conventional systems and trunk system programming is simple thanks to the graphical interface provided by Freescan.

Not only can you use Freescan to program your radio, but you can use it to log hits and audio as well as control your scanner with a virtual scanner interface on your screen.

To download free scan, visit https://www.scannerschool.com/freescan

We will have video tutorial on how to use all the features in Freescan on our YouTube channel shortly. Be sure to subscribe at https://www.scannerschool.com/youtube .

#podcast

The Yaesu VX-6R is a modern classic Ham Radio.

So why should you use this as a scanner radio?

It doesn't trunk. It doesn't do any digital modes. The alpha tags are limited to just 6 characters, and it's nearly 20 years old.

Yep, doesn't seem like this one has many positives when you scratch the surface, but there is more here than meets the eye!

The Yaesu VX-6R receives nearly from .5 MHz - 998.0 MHz.

It receives Broadcast AM & FM, Shortwave (AM), VHF-Lo, Aviation, MilAir, Business Bands, FRS, MURS, GMRS, and of course VHF and UHF Amateur Radio Bands.

This longtime selling radio is water tight, has a HUGE following in the prepper community, and will run circles around any Baofeng.

Selling for around $249 USD, this radio is almost as much as a Whistler WS1040 or WS1065, but neither is water tight, will receive AM or FM Broadcast, or Shortwave.

There are plenty of other reasons to think about putting one of these radios into your Scanner Radio collection. This podcast will continue to outline more reasons to think about the VX-6R.

John has been a long time listener of the podcast and wanted to know how things work here behind the scenes.

Not only do we talk about how the podcast is put together and what it takes to write and publish, but we also discuss what we both enjoy about the scanner hobby.

This was a great conversation and I want to thank John for being a part of the experience.

If you'd like to be on the podcast, John will tell you it's a fun time and there is no pressure. It's two people just having a conversation. You can book your spot now at www.scannerschool.com/guest

Mike Henson is relatively new to the scanner radio hobby, but has quickly found Military Aviation and Photography to be a very interesting and rewarding hobby.

Mike shares his setup, which started out as a single radio, and has now grown into several dedicated scanners and a recording interface to log all the local Military Aviation traffic.

What is interesting about Mike's setup, is his keep is simple approach to his setup, which means he is using mostly handheld radios feeding into a portable audio recorder.

Besides photographing and monitoring MilAir, Mike enjoys building different antennas to help improve his reception.

Our conversation will be reposted soon on YouTube in shorter form, so please enjoy our full conversation on today's podcast.

David Vine joins the podcast this week to talk about radio. I am looking forward to having him back as a regular.

David is all about this hobby. From Scanning, GMRS, and Ham, he has immersed himself with the radio hobby. So much so that he has involved himself with many local clubs and organizations.

His love of the hobby does not end there. David has created many presentations about the radio hobby, specifically ham, that can also be carried over to the scanner radio hobby.

Today's conversation is an introduction to who David is. You'll learn all about his radio history, what makes him tick, and a little about some of the presentations that he will hopefully share with us one day.

I hope this podcast conversation is one of many that David and I will share.

Les Stephenson, from the Toronto area of Canada, has a long, rich history when it comes to the scanning hobby.

Les was introduced to scanning as a teen in 1959 and has been hooked ever since.

His near lifelong interest with scanning has seen just about every change in technology. From tunable dials, crystals, and synthesized tuners, to trunking and digital interfaces.

Les is also very opinionated when it comes to encryption because most of his scanning has been unfiltered.

It is my pleasure to introduce you our podcast guest, Les Stephenson.
