All software for DMA scanners organizes the Systems, Groups, Sites, & Channels the same way. We all follow the Uniden DMA hierarchy structure. Freescan uses the same Uniden DMA hierarchy structure. It's true that it's not currently being updated but that has nothing to do with the organization. What ProScan has over Freescan is the ability to Drag & Drop nodes making it slightly easier to organize.
And what are you not sure of ProScan yet?
OK thank you....but I still don't understand why when you run Freescan, on the left side of screen in the program, when its set for "Rhode Island" (my State) for example......you see 4 "systems" North Simulcast, East Simulcast, Providence City Simulcast & South Simulcast.
And on the right hand side of page is all the towns in Rhode Island as well as a bunch of other departments like DEM, State Police, Statewide mutual aide etc et......
So my issue from day one has been what items from the RIGHT do you put in the systems on the LEFT? There is no clear definition of what TOWNS go in what place.....and especially all the NON TOWN things like college security, busses, DEM, etc.
So what I have been doing is putting all the TOWNS in the NORTHERN part of state in the NORTH system, all the towns in the SOUTHERN part of state in the SOUTH system, and Providence (city) and everything else in the PROVIDENCE system. (I dont use the EAST system, can't get it from here) What I am trying to say is how can you program the radio precisely when there is no clear cut explanation of WHERE to put the items on the right, into the items on the LEFT? You would think for example if you wanted to program the NORTH zone into your scanner, the program would ALREADY HAVE the proper towns & data for that NORTH zone! Same would apply to any other systems you want to program. In other words, what do they consider NORTH from SOUTH from PROVIDENCE?
I can program the radio via Freescan with no problem and it does work ok but it's the confusion of differentiaing where to put items from right to the places on left accurately.
