About does not work when Virtual controls is on.

This isn't a bug, but it's cool!

The keyboard operates as if it were scanner buttons. Hit F for the function key, numbers lock out systems, that's cool.

Can somebody else try programming Groups 11-20 under ARC996 to see if it will save them?

Also, can somebody else here try programming in a single group with 250 channels to see if ARC 996 will save ALL 250 or if it just saves the first 200 frequencies.

arc996pro_0905exe.zip is listed on Butel site but...


Not Found
The requested URL /BC9/V09/arc996pro_0905exe.zip was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request


This part is funny... (error handling an error :))

From the 996/396 Yahoo site:

The ultimate in moderation :)

I guess this is the best place for reporting a Bug

I take it back. I got a post this time and a response. I was not sure if Gommert was reading this thread since there was no response by him.

Do you have a bug tracking list so we are not redundant in our reports?

As discussed in another thread...

The log file should include GPS coordinates for intercept tracking. According to another programmer on this site that could be implemented.

Some remarks about the suggestions:

- The BCD996T does not report the record flag so the record flag is not used by ARC996 for recording, we requested this to be implemented but did not make it in the firmware

- when VC is running help _ about does not work, this is normal.

- by default the editor box is shown above the tabs, only when you click a tab you see the group info, this is normal and same behaviour as arc330/396 etc.

- channels per trunk systems has been increased so should not be a problem any more

- the right mouse button menu in the system browser was slightly modified

- misc. bugs where fixed

I will try to have 0.91 available just after the weekend.

Thx for all the feedback, this is much appreciated!

I downloaded the exe and replaced the old one and the version shows 910, not 91B...AND it will not let you save audio type anything but analog...it looks like it takes ALL or DIGITAL, but when you save it...it goes back to ANALOG. Can you explain this or resolve this?

AND it still copies a site and places it into another system, like it has a mind of its own, or so it shows on the browser, but when you go to send to scanner, it gives you an error about not able to create site, no resources availible...the site isnt really under the system that the browser shows it under. In reality there is no site there....it just goes away...God knows where.

If there is a subtone programmed the software will now set the audiotype to Analog since subtones only work in 'Analog' mode.

Please email us more details about the site problem and how we can duplicate it.

What do you mean by subtone, if you mean CTCSS, no its not using any...its a MOT2 or MOT 1 800 MHz trunking system. The CTCSS colum doesnt show up when in the CHANNEL window of a trunk system. It worked fine before. What version is this supposed to be? As far as the site problem, hell I have no idea how to tell you to duplicate it...just click between different systems, editing some of them and it will eventually happen. BTW, I always save systems after EACH little change I make, to minimize the amount of loss when it screws up.

There is definitely some weirdness when trying to set audio type in trunked systems. It doesn't seem to happen with conventional systems. Set the audion type to digital in one group and then move to another. The new group is set as analog. Change that to digital and go back to the first group and it now shows analog.

I don't understand the SUB/LOG in the Log window.

To me a Hit is a Hit is a Hit. If it has a tone then good listed it with the tone. If it does not have a tone then list it without the tone. The Hitcount should count the hits of certain tones by the freq and only be cumulative

I had one log that showed both P25 and PL 192.8 on a channel that does not use p25, yet.

Are you planning to allow the Log/VC window to expand?

Are you planning on allowing Record option to work only on record annotated channels?

Are you planning on adding the LAT/LON feature to the log window?

Are you planning on allowing the sorting the active log?

Adding new system still includes 10 groups. I must still delete all unused groups.

In VC when rightmouse key is depressed to emulate F hold and VC-F is pressed to end F hold, the actual F (physical) knob will not work until the scanner is reset.

Cannot select multiple lines in group for channels for deletion or clearing.

When creating a conventional system not all agencies are checked at default. When using select all and deselect all the agencies not originally automatically selected are not affected. Even after it is selected manually, pressing the select all will deselect the manually selected agency.

Comments section still truncated. Comments section still removes spaces from imported info.

More to come :)

>I don't understand the SUB/LOG in the Log window.

SUB indicates a (new) detected subtone.

>Are you planning to allow the Log/VC window to expand?

No, fixed for 800x600 screens

>Are you planning on allowing Record option to work only on record annotated channels?

No, scanner does not report this flag

>Are you planning on adding the LAT/LON feature to the log window?

Not sure what you mean.

>Are you planning on allowing the sorting the active log?

Is in the suggestions list.

>Adding new system still includes 10 groups. I must still delete all unused groups.

Correct this default, use edit groups to change the number of groups.

>In VC when rightmouse key is depressed to emulate F hold and VC-F is pressed to end F hold, the actual F (physical) knob will not work until the scanner is reset.

I have to check this.

>Cannot select multiple lines in group for channels for deletion or clearing.

We do not support multi line selections

>When creating a conventional system not all agencies are checked at default. When using select all and deselect all the agencies not originally automatically selected are not affected. Even after it is selected manually, pressing the select all will deselect the manually selected agency.

Which system is this?

>Comments section still truncated. Comments section still removes spaces from imported info.

Is an option, click on Options tab in import screen.

Yep I see it now, I will fix this.
