scanner accessories such as antennas, cables, power adaptors and references to make your scanner more 
enjoyable. 

Probably the most important accessory will be a copy of the ARC500 software, which is available at 

www.scannermaster.com

. If you're going to program this scanner on your own, or even if you have Scanner 

Master or a friend do the programming for you, it's a great benefit to back up a copy of the programming to 
your PC. Furthermore, once you've backed it up, you might also want a copy that you can tweak and add to 
over time as you get more familiar with the scanner and scanning. Then you can tailor the programming 
just for your tastes. The software is easy to use and extremely powerful and it will help you understand all 
that the radio can do. 

Many of the accessories for the other GRE and Radio Shack scanners will work for the PSR600 as well. 
Here are a few that you might be interested in: 

Lose your AC adapter? Want a second one to keep for travel? Use this adapter from Scanner Master. 

You can also buy an assortment of remote speakers (amplified or not), headphones, antennas and more. Just 
go to

 and chose what you want.
