Description:
I got this radio from one of my friends who is a railfanner. This is a radio from Metra Railroad. This is a very cool but very niche radio. There isn't a lot of info about this radio and finding software and equipment for this radio is very difficult. I was lucky to be able to attain software from the friend who sold this to me. However, he made me promise to never share the software with anybody.
