BCD436HP/BCD536HP: Alerts

[NWI_Scanner_Guy]

So, I have a new 346HP arriving later on today and I have a question about the alert function(s).

On my WS1040, I have it set up to alert me with a beep and a flashing LED when it receives a wildcard TG. Since the 436HP uses ID SCAN / ID SEARCH to find TGs not in a Favorites List, is there any way to set up an alert when a TG not present in an FL is picked up? I've been reading thru the easier-to-read manual, but didn't run across anything that sounds like what I'd like to do. Has anyone come up with a method to do this that's not covered in any manual?

Thanks in advance for any info, tips, hints and/or suggestions provided.

No, at least not that I have found. I do use the computer aided scanning features of ProScan. I set the scanner on ID Search and
ProScan's history grid to look for new Tg's, and then setting alerts to ID them.

Alerts only work on programmed channels, unfortunately.

That's what I was afraid of. Bummer


I'll give hightime's suggestion of Proscan a try and see what it logs.

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate them!!

+1 on ProScan. It's excellent.

Yes it is. I've used it in the past and I'm looking forward to using it again.
