What colors did you assign the background and text? An example would be if you chose black for the background and black for the text...

I have seen filters do odd things to signal strength.
Using filters per chance?

One thing to try: Does ProScan do the same thing?

Yeah I either had to Global in the photo, but now I have since turned Filter off. What is ProScan?

Thats what it says in the description... So I would say yes...

The full blown program gives you remote control of the scanner and a lot of other things...
Try the full program first... Free for thirty days... To buy it is a one time fee of $50 (Well worth it!)... All upgrades are free for life...

Ah noted, thanks for that. I don't think it works without the trial or paid version, at least it didn't for me. Currently, trying out this trial one. Impressive to me how you can "click" your screen and it affects the radio next to me.

If you download ProScan to do the 30-day trial, you're getting the actual program. The trial will do everything that the 'paid' version does. It's not a "crippled" download, with so many features missing that you could not accurately evaluate it's capabilities.

If, after using it during the trial, you decide that you do want to purchase it, then you make the purchase, and enter license key that is emailed to you. Enter that key into the trial version, and then it's now the "full" program. You do not have to do a second download to get all the options.

I'd agree with the statements already posted. ProScan works very well, and has a number of features that are not available in the ARC software unless you purchase the "Pro" version, which costs almost $20 more than ProScan.

How do you switch to the SDS100 on the free client, its set to Bdc996?
The Free Client is for connecting to the full version of ProScan in Remote Scanner Over IP mode.
Try the 30 day fully functional trial / demo. However I think it will still show the RSSI with the 3 dashes in the display like your picture in post#1. The RSSI column in the History Logging probably will show -999.

{edit} To change the scanner type on the full version, go to the menu Scanner Type.

I really may be heading in that direction unfortunately. One particular TG I've never had any issue with, is now starting to become fuzzy very rarely. It will be a year this month, that I've purchased this radio.

Try turning off the Filter at the Site level. If you're using Sentinel or ProScan to change the Filter then it needs a write to scanner operation to take effect.

Yes I did before I plugged the radio into my laptop. I was reading the attached thread and it appears I only have issues with one system, I've posted here before about this system, but today was the first time what I posted in the above photo happened. I like with this ProScan, you can click the screen and then manually save a UID its a lot faster.
