Very observant! I still need to add some help files to make it as easy as possible to setup and stream audio from the 536/436 to mobile devices (primarily andriod for the moment) and other computers.

Will update on the board when it is available for everyone.

I'm looking forward to it!

I don't have the 436 yet to test this with.

Does it display the Radio ID?

Here is a screenshot of the web app running on my Android phone. The UID displays in the lower left of the main display when available.

Yes. Just have to create an account at scannermonitor.com website and install the Chrome app to remotely control the 536/436 scanners. Audio streaming will be available very soon for Android phones.

Thanks.

Just a quick question, how hard is it to make it stream to Android and iOS? I know nothing of programming.

When it streams, will it also stream to another computer too by logging in?

The audio streaming technology I am using for the web application is relatively new - with almost no lag time. Apple iOS devices currently don't support this but supposedly will sometime in the future because of all the interest.

It will stream audio to most other computers (PC, Mac, Linux, Chromebook) as well as Andriod phones. (One device at a time) Will provide more details when this feature is released.

That's really great!

Even if it streams to just computers for a bit I'd be set. To iOS that would be a bonus

What am I doing wrong???

I have the bcd436hp,a laptop with windows 8.1 running Chrome. Downloaded the app and it opens fine. I downloaded the drivers from Uniden but nothing comes up when i open the app. It never shows any ports or ask for a location of the drivers. I must be missing a step somewhere but i don't know. When i click on setup it just seems to open up the file in Notepad. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

If you don't see any ports in the list - then the drivers may not be installed properly. Another user had a similar issue and user Jay911 had some suggestions in this thread - click here for the post

The serial drivers from Uniden are on this page in case you need them again. BCD436HP < UnidenMan4 < TWiki

Is anyone using this with windows 8.1? I just can't seem to make any headway. My head is spinning from reading all the different possible fixes.

Working just fine here on Ubuntu 14.04. All you need is to have Chrome installed.

Yup. TTY came up as /dev/ttyACM0.

No timestamp. Would like that ... Since I'm asking, the ability to sort columns might be fun, too. Does not appear to show UIDs, only TGIDs and Tags. Hit counter is nice.

EDIT: I sit corrected. UIDs do too show up! Cool!

I click on the +FREE button in the Google App Store for Scanner Monitor. It shows it adding it to an app menu and says "checking" for about 10 seconds. Then it opens a message window that says "an error has occurred" NETWORK_FAILED and it gives me two options. .. reload or close. If I reload it opens the original scanner monitor page and we do it all over again.

I have the 536 serial drivers installed and I am connected via usb.

Whats wrong??

Update... I downloaded and installed scanner screen and it works. How do I get scanner monitor working?

I rebooted, logged back into Google and tried again... same error. Won't add to my google apps.

I haven't seen that issue before.

You can go to chrome://extensions/ in your browser to view the apps and extensions installed and remove the app in the event it was corrupt download and try again from the web store. The direct link to the app in the Chrome store is: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/scanner-monitor/akdhehcennfolejaoepmldgcgpfkehhj

If you still have issues, you can post more specifics of what computer and operating system you are using to see if anyone had a similar issue.

Just wanted to say thanks for the great program, I have been running it 24h for the last couple days on a 436 and Win7 64 without problems.


+1 on being able to sort columns and maybe a signal meter if possible.

Thanks again for your time

Tried again this morning. Same issue. I also checked extensions. There was only one thing there that was not enabled. I removed it and tried again. Same issue. I tried something else and got the same error. Cannot add ANY google app to my account. Any ideas? Using an HP with windows 7. Use google as default browser and email for years.
