Ok, So I'm noticing the Profile save problem too.... this is one way I notice it happening...

"Group: 0" which is automatically made for a new system keeps being already filled with information from another group. So it's not empty at first, but is filled with what's in another group... I managed to shake it off from happening again, but it was happening every time.

Something also happened with saving a system and opening it again, and it was filled with the information from a different system than the file is even named.

might be something inside giving a system named "Group: 0" information already? sorry, my little progging dib.

-

I keep accidentally forgetting to check the box "Overwrite systems with same name".. my fault every time.
would be nice if there was a way to make it a default choice because it's usually what I'd want it to do.

-

bandscope is beautiful and it's the only one I can find to work the way I need it to... by being able to click on it and change the frequency of the tuner :)

I notice that can only be done when it's still sweeping... but I'm chasing at things that might be erased :/
ok.. so forget that, you can make them not wipe out by setting "Max hold on" :)

I think a choise of changing the colour everytime it sweeps over and the frequency is still used would be neat :) so you can see a burn-in of busier frequencies. b'cause I'd like to keep it on for a while like a few hours and find frequencies better to program... the chart underneath does that too :)

but then it wouldn't make sense to colour by signal strength :/

*shrug*

I find it's hard to exactly click on the frequency of a spike... maybe there could be a mouse tool besides the arrow, like a flat line, that chooses the highest spike on the flat line when you click?

-

I think it would be nice if the Virtual control showed a list of Systems that are scanned and can toggle them on or off... the other way to do it is change the System in the profile and upload to the scanner.. or use quick keys, but then i have to remember which quick keys there are.

-

I like "Scan and store" but it doesn't have a way to work in arc-xt by the software interface...

like, can you hold a list open while doing a scan and store, and see each new frequency stored in the list as you're doing Scan and store? that'd be nice :)

maybe a list opened from the virtual control, for the system you keep Scan and store frequencies in, and you can see the new frequency show up everytime a new one is kept ?

-

Edit multiple sites doesn't have a choice of entering a custom bandplan, I found I had to do the hard work of entering the bandplan in each site for Bell Fleetnet, where they're all the same.

-
oh.. and from the Virtual control Log... it'd be nice if you could put from a log line a new GroupID into a system, or make a new lockout.

-

oh.. and I don't think the "Freq. Lockout editor" works right for the bct15x... it doesn't show any lockouts I used the "L/O" button for.

Do you have the latest version? The problem you describe with new systems happened to me early on, but it's been fixed for quite a while. Actually both problems existed early on, as well as some data conversion problems if you imported from ARC996 or ARC396.
