Soooooo true!

It appears that there is a scanner firmware limitation. The UID is not sent from the scanner when an alias is assigned. I will make it so the alias text tag will appear in the UID column.

[EDIT] There is no way to detect the alias text tag so it can't be added to the logging UID column.

And this is what is killing UID's showing up in Alpha tags as well.

I wonder if something software side could be done. Say each UID you enter had a @ or some other char thats not used infront of it and then proscan could pick up that. Since the scanner no longer passes the UID once you make an alias this would be something that the scanner could pass along.

OR

A list in proscan that matches UID #'s to tags, something like how the broadcast lockout works.

I'm doing it now. Stay tuned.

Email me and I'll send you the file with the UID alias showing up in the UID column.

I thought about having a key or certain character so ProScan can detect the UID alias but that would limit the alias to less then 16 characters and someone may not know what's the special way to enter in the UID alias. The way I'm almost certain that the detection will be is line 4 display data is not a frequency, not a TGID, not a modulation type, and at least one alpha character excluding i & H. It should be transparent to the user.

Bob the test you sent works good. But I still wonder if following the same type of system as the broadcast lockout would be better. For me I have 4 different fleetnet towers programmed into my scanner so I would have to make a UID group under each tower. If it was a plan txt like the broadcast lockout is it could apply to the entire scanner and only require 1 file to update. Also you wouldn't be limited to the char limits of the scanner itself. I don't so much care about the tags on the scanner itself showing up but in the logging and the alpha tags to the stream is where I find this useful.

Thats my 2 cents on this.

Sounds like it may be a good ideal. Was thinking about it.

ProScan Version 5.1

• Added - Remote Scanner Over IP - Client now can record mp3 format.
• Added - Logging - UID now shows the text tag alias. Prepend the TGID name with "%".
• Fixed - Recorder - Prepend buffer produced noise when recording wav format.
• Many more small improvements.

At this time, there are no known bugs or issues.

ProScan supports the BCD996XT, BCD396XT, BCT15X, BC346XT, BCD996T, BCD396T, BCT15, BR330T, BC796D, BC785D, BC780XLT, BC296D, and the BC250D scanners.

ProScan is the most powerful and feature rich scanning software in this world.

Sweet I LOVE IT and it works well. Don't forget to put a space after the percent symbol.

Why?

I didn't do it in the test version bob sent me and it still worked.

[04Z1V6]

Sorry, It doesn't need the space. I have been corrected. When I first tried it I must have done something wrong.

[04Z1V6]

Please help me with this if you can. If I have a list of UID's and TG's logged and a TG and UID only has one transmission it will list it as the last TG-UID that was logged in a new row not the correct TG UID , if it has two transmissions it will always show it in the correct listed row.

If the new row option is unchecked then any new transmissions will look-up existing entries based on TGIDs(or freq conv. sys). Look-up is not based on UID which always been that way. With 5.1, the only difference is the UID alias will show in lieu of the UID#.

Anyone that uses the Scanner Over IP feature in ProScan or the ProScan Free Client should download version 5.2 as 5.1 introduced a slight audio lag on the client side.

No other changes in 5.2

I know this is sorta off-topic question but since ProScan is affiliated/makes RadioFeed I felt it appropriate to post here since the ProScan man will see it In RadioFeed under Web Server is there a way I can broadcast my RadioReference feed using the Web Server option? If so, what website page and port and stuff do I use? I really just want to use the option where I can see who is logged in, their IP address, and the client they use to listen... Thx

Did you meant to say "Source Client"? The Source Client broadcast to RR(or Icecast/Shoutcast servers). The Web Server does not broadcast to RR as it is a server. Web browsers and media players connect directly to the Web Server.

If you did meant to say the Source Client, ProScan/RadioFeed can not display the IP address, user agent, etc.. as Icecast servers don't provide that info. You can get the User Agent from RR in your "Manage My Feed" area.

If you actually meant Web Server, it does display the IP address and User Agent. Enter the IP address in the browser address box. I would use the local IP first for testing then the outside IP address. The outside address requires router port forwarding setup.
Example - "192.168.1.4:5000" where 5000 is the port selected in ProScan/RadioFeed.

P.S. The bold font is not the easiest to read.

Down the road, anything HP-1 related? Or do I have to jump the fence? Also I thought I read somewhere that the 246 would be supported. I know, one extreme to the other. I have 246 software but I kind of like your product better

[DavidQT69]

On ProScan recording screen after I push Record and it starts recording my scanner as far as the rows on my screen when it gets too clogged up is there any way to remove them without deleting the actual sound file off my computer? I've noticed if I select a particular row(s) and click delete it removes the sound files off my hard drive that are associated with those rows... Thx!

ProScan 5.2 Crashing. It is happening when I am clicking on the tray icon to bring it up from minimized. This seems to happen everytime.. so I can no longer minimize to tray my feed.
I am running win7 64bit.
