o Load File Button – Click to load an existing ScanControl Data File into the ScanControl
Memory Area. You will be given the option to save the current data file, if it has
changed, before it is overwritten. ScanControl is backward compatible with data files
from previous software versions AND older scanners with some radio models. This
means if you upgrade from a BC245XLT to the BC780XLT, BC250D, BC785D, SC230,
BC246T, BR330T or BCD396T scanner your old data files from your BC245XLT can be
directly loaded into ScanControl with no re-keying or lost data. Keep in mind the data
files are upward compatible and converted to the new radio format when loaded. In other
words a data file from the BC95XLT, BC245XLT, BC895XLT, BC898T, BCT8 can be
used with the BC780XLT, SC230, BC246T, BR330T, BCT396T, BCT15, BCD996T and
the BC250D, etc., but once loaded the file is converted to the new radio format in
