It's complaining about argument usage or something, so I suspect that 
something changed between 8.4 and 8.5; I'll have to bone up on it enough 
to fix it (Tcl, like Python, is not one of my favourite languages).

Thanks; I'll have a poke around anyway.

The scanner?  A Uniden UBCD396XT trunking scanner (radio, not optical) 
with a serial port.  The software?  A Tcl script contained in 
"bcprogtool_0.8.[lm].zip" at a website near you (if you can find one; a 
lot of them are 404).
