I'll admit I may have missed it, but does ProScan log the OTA alias on a IDAS/NXDN system? I see it on the scanner display, but only see the actual radio ID in the log.
ProScan: IDAS/NXDN alias

Yes, ProScan will display the alias in UID field.
Ok. What's the magic to get it to do so?
Look at the uid logging screen. It should show them there.
That's what I get for reading too fast.
I guess no one reads my posts. As I said in the first post, I see the alias on the radio itself, but ProScan only shows the actual radio ID, no alias.
On both logging screens? One logs the tg etc as primary the other is uid primary.
I will do a pic of mine when I get free time later today with it logging a NexEdge TRS and show it logging aliases. That's how I was able to I'd TG's on a system here easier. Both the school bus traffic and seeing BUS 23 etc as aliases.
I see, UID has a separate tab. I told y'all I may have missed it.
I guess you thought wrong.I thought Mods saw/knew everything
He found his kryptonite.
Ok, I found how to show the alias under history logging...or it's just a big coincidence. I enabled "UID before lookup" and the alias now shows in the history logging "UID" column.
While I don't use the software, thanks for posting the solution, so few do that anymore, and it may help others trying to find the same information.
Yup
Before the "Best Southwest" cities in my area (Cedar Hill, Desoto, & Duncanville) moved over to NTIRN, they were using a 3-site NXDN system. Seeing the 'UID aliases was a welcome piece of information as to what was happening at a specific incident, and who was calling the shots.
