Software authors - chime in here...

c5corvette, A few days ago, I released ProScan version 4.7 that now uses RR Web Service v9 and can access the Nationwide data.

I've updated the spreadsheet above. Does ProScan import and manage location based data (gps)?

It imports location data to an opened database at the system, group, or site level. I don't know what you mean by "manage location based data".

Yes, exactly. I just downloaded your trail version and its really nice to see a program using v9 and downloading and inheriting GPS data 100% correctly or as expected!

The WinXX programs (Win96, Win97, Win500) use version 9 of the RRDB.

The process that creates the DB files for GRE's PSR-700, PRO-107, and PSR-800 also uses version 9.

It would be nice if all the programs did this... but I found one (1) program where an author stated right on the website product page what version of the SOAP Web Service they had upgraded to. Pro96Com stated it was on v7 (not sure if thats still accurate though???)

So, the "one (1) program" was Pro96Com? The WinXX programs indicate version 9 in the release notes on their web pages.

To clear up any possible confusion: that inheritance started with version 8.

For the Record, the release version of Pro96Com does use version 7 at this point. I have a version that uses version 9, but the calls it's making to the RRDB to get the data are really no different between them. It doesn't really need any of the version 8/9 features and added function calls to do what it needs to do...

Spreadsheet (earlier in this thread) was updated again.

I had yet to hear back on this post, email or PM from Assaff, but I see he just released Freescan 2.10 which appears to compatiable with version 9 of the SOAP RadioReference.com Web Service.

Again, if the software authors could put the version info of the SOAP RadioReference.com Web Service in your release notes or documentation, users won't have to read all your features and make assumptions.

Thanks,

The PSR-800, PSR-700, PRO-18, and PRO-107 also support version 9 of the web service, including its nationwide frequencies. This includes both the scanners' firmware and their PC apps. "Nationwide" just appears as another item at the top of the list of states.

If the table in post #17 above is going to include "EZ Scan Digital" (PSR-800), it should probably include the other 3 scanners listed herein, and they should all say "v9".

Don,

What are the names of the programs for the others? I know PSR-800 is EZ Scan Digital.

 

[DonS]

RadioShack PRO-107: iScan
RadioShack PRO-18: iScan Digital
GRECOM PSR-700: EZ Scan-SD
GRECOM PSR-800: EZ Scan Digital
