To program your scanner:

You can program and control your scanner remotely from a PC using third party software. After connecting the scanner to a PC, turn the radio on.

To use the Remote (PC Control) mode, you must purchase third party software and use as directed. Make sure that your scanner is connected to the serial port of the PC using the RS232C straight cable.

A unique feature of the BC780XLT is that all the front panel keys as well as the VFO on the radio remain operational in remote mode.
