ARC Patrol software is a must for any programming to the complex scanners of today. There is a bit of a learning curve but not bad overall. Scanner Master is always a helpful source if you run into problems. The software makes all the difference.

ARC Patrol
This is a great product. I finally have an easy way to program my Homepatrol 1. This software is easy to use and works wonderfully. If you have a Homepatrol 1 you really need this.
