ARC536 Assistance Please

[allclear]

Hi,

I have successfully set up the ARC536 using the USB lead that came with the scanner. All drivers are installed and serial port bps set to 115200.

When I start the Virtual control it works but is refusing to log anything. I have purchased Butel software before and know how they work but this one has stumped me. All the other functions seem to work but one thing I have noticed is the huge 'lag' when pressing buttons. Also, when in Custom search mode it does not display the frequencies scanning.

Why would this be released with some many bugs?

I would expect it from freeware but not if I'm paying 69 bucks.

Try re-installing the software, logging works fine in the latest build and there should not be any noticeable lag time.

Gommert,

Okay I have figured out what is going on and I am surprised nobody else has noticed this problem.

1) ARC536 only logs in 'Scan' mode. You will find that the program does not log in 'Custom search' and 'Close call' modes. This must be a bug.

also

2) In 'Custom search' mode, the frequency/ies do not appear as it's searching.

Thanks,

Brian Linch
