I would love to see someone come up with a clone of the BCD536HP WiFi dongle for other scanners like the 396 & 996 series. The idea would be to use something like the Raspberry Pi that would connect to the scanner for control and audio and then send those signals out to software like Proscan via either Ethernet or WiFi.
I am running 10 different scanners and it is nice to only have one IP address to contend with for the 536 compared to trying to figure out what com port and what USB sound card each of the other 9 radios are on, especially after a reboot of the system after a windows update.
Currently running 2 296D's, a 780XLT, a 396XT, a 996T, a 996XT, a 996P2, 2 436HP's and a 536HP. (aslo have a HP1 that could be used as well.)
Any ideas out there? I'm OK at setting things up and with the idea end of it, but I am no programmer.
