The Optocom PC controlled communications receiver is ideal for recreational or professional scanning applications. Compact design allows the OptoCom to be connected to any laptop or tabletop PC for high speed computer controlled scanning.
The Optocom is supported by many different scanning programs.

Using the new third party E-Trax software for DOS you can Trunk Follow the GE/Ericsson EDACS system. E-Trax is not sold by Optoelectronics.
Now you can also follow EDACS with Scan Star Deluxe!
