1.) ProScan will disconnect from my scanner. I have to turn off and turn back on the scanner(SDS200) and everything goes back to normal.
2.) I sometimes switch between computer speakers(the normal), and bluetooth audio. I'll lose audio until i click the Loopback in Monitor test tab off and back on and audio is restored.
Do i have a setting wrong somewhere?

No this is a know issue with the way Uniden's Scanners handle networking. A few fixes
1. Do not run your scanner in DHCP set a static address.
2. Make sure you network is as Stable as possible.
3. Router and Switches all on UPS Battery Backups.
4. Make sure nothing on the PC is set to Sleep or Hibernate.

1. Do not run your scanner in DHCP set a static address. Checked and good
2. Make sure you network is as Stable as possible. Stable as can get. No spikes or drops on the monitor
3. Router and Switches all on UPS Battery Backups. Well Sh*T Forgot I updated my Switch and didn't plug it in to UPS. SMH Dummy me.
THanks for the help.
4. Make sure nothing on the PC is set to Sleep or Hibernate. Hasn't been on since i built the PC.

I run 3 SDS200's and 7 536's all on the same network to 2 different PC's mine run months at a time and have for years without the drops.
The only drops are with USB on my 6 996P2's again a known problem. The fix is to move to 9 pin serial but I do not care to add 10 plus 9 pin serial ports to my PC 6 996p2's and 4 15/15X's.

I had the same problem. That was when I was using Spectrum. Switched to Frontier and have not had any problem.

No changes in ProScan that would cause it.
