<div>Hi to the group. Thanks for letting me join. Someone offered me a Bearcat 250D scanner for $125.00. It seems to be in good condition with just a little dent on the speaker grill and the battery won't hold a charge. I can find a new set of batteries for this not a problen there. Is this a good deal for this radio? I see them on fleabay and amazon for upwards of $225.00. Just curious. I do own a homepatrol scanner and have learned how to use it pretty proficiently, but I was looking for something I could throw into my bag and take to work for listening while I am in the field. I am a supervisor for a public transportation comapny here in San Diego and sometimes have long periods where I am idle, especially on the few night shifts I work.<br>I am also a Ham and would like to listen t
o a few ham freqs while I work as well.<br>Any tips on using this scanner? I did see there was some software for rogramming it using the PC, but all the sites seem to either dicontinued or out of stock. Anyone now where I might find it to download? Also the programming cable I can probably pick up on ebay or amazon as well, the sellers on there seem to have a lot of them.<br>Well this is my intial post. Again thanks for letting me join and hoping to hear some ideas from you all soon.<br>JamesM.<br>KJ6FXA</div></div></p>

If you have come here to find out about the 250D you have come to the right place! In fact the discussion of the BC-250D and how it works is the only acceptable topic on this list. Any discussion about anything other than the BC-250D is OFF TOPIC. I hope this is clear to all group members..
