Last Updated February 17, 2002
What it is Control Freq Jr™ is a software program that quickly and easily programs your Uniden BC245XLT or BC780XLT using standard files types like Excel spreadsheets, DBase files and comma delimited text files. What it isn't Control Freq Jr™ is not a full blown scanner control program even though it does have some functions found in scanner control programs. Background The Control Freq Jr™ project began as a side project for a scanner control software program called Control Freq™. The Control Freq™ project took a back seat to all my other projects simply because the need was no longer there with so many other scanner control programs being released. Control Freq Jr™, then known as the BC245eXLT project, was put aside as well since the initial goal was for it to become a part of the larger scanner control software. Because of popular demand the Control Freq Jr™ project has been resurrected and is now in continued development. The Authors
Background Tracy Justus is the author of Control Freq Jr™
and the host of the FreqOfNature.com
web site. While Tracy's educational background is in software
engineering he does very little programming in his position as a Network
Administrator. Minor updates Since this is a work in progress there will be occasional updates to the software. Minor updates do not dramatically change the basic machinery of the software so they do not require all the extra files that come with a fully installable software program. Minor updates will normally consist of just the main executable program which you would download and unpack to the program folder (Normally that folder would be "c:\Program Files\Control Freq Jr"). Major updates On rare occasions a major update will be released. Major updates to the software are needed if the basic mechanics of the program have been changed. Since the very basics of the programs inner workings have changed the program must be complied complete with an installation program. Software Protocol If you would like to play around with the software commands or write your own software to control your scanner I've made available a programmers reference to the Uniden Remote Scanner Control Protocol.
