Default ARC996 Pro Updates??

Just wondering if anyone know when/if there will be an update for ARC996 Pro to address the issues of the mini-window and using the Virtual Control recording settings, it does not keep the settings for "Auto create folders per day" and "Auto create folders per hour".

believe me...I'm not. I guess when Butel's site said "Free lifetime updates" they meant there weren't going to be any more after the initial release.

The next release will be available later this year, what is the mini-window issue in ARC996?

It doesn't work at all. The virtual control is supposed to minimize and show a small window like on ARC396, or at least that's what I (and others) were lead to think. If its not a feature and not supposed to be there, then no big deal. Thanks for the info!! :-)

Default Suggestions for new release

If a new release of ARC996 Pro is coming, I'd like to offer a couple of friendly suggestions. First, I like ARC996 Pro a lot -- programming the radio would have been a major chore without it.

That said, there are a few quirks that could possibly be fixed in the next release.

(1) If I "Read" a trunked system from the radio, and then later "Read" a second trunked system from the radio, the frequencies associated with the first system often disappear (as viewed in ARC996 Pro). I have sometimes made changes to the first system, then sent it to the radio, only to find that the system is unscannable because it has no frequencies.

(2) If I "Read" several systems from the radio, make some changes, and send them back to the radio, the first system sometimes has a random set of additional QuickKeys enabled. I normally have QKs 1,2,3,4 enabled for a certain system. Sometimes, by the time I send it back to the radio, several others are also enabled, such as 8 and 0. Often I don't notice the change until the data gets into the radio, although looking back at ARC996, I do see it on the screen.

Perhaps these changes can make a useful program even better.

Default Win XP crash

Loaded the Butel ARC software --DEMO mode-- and the several times when the computer was directed to communicate with the scanner (e.g. populate the frequencies in the scanner), WIN XP would crash and re-boot (itself). Suggestions? TIA.

Are you using a USB converter cable?
We heard about a simular problem before and was a USB hardware problem where the 5 volt was shortened causing the reboot.
