I have had the ProScan software for a while now, but I haven't explored every possible feature. So, if this feature already exists, I need to learn more about it.

Is there a way, when I am searching a range of frequencies, to have ProScan automatically do a search of the FCC or other databases to try and determine who the likely user is?

For example, I am at home, so my GPS coordinates aren't changing. My search stopped on 452.425 a few minutes ago.

I then checked the FCC database and saw four licensees near me. Since this was conventional DMR, I can focus on the first two licensees. Based on the traffic heard and time of the evening, I can safely say that it was the University of Saint Thomas.

How much of that can ProScan or other software do, currently? If it was to simply display FCC licensees, that would be handy.

There is no software that will currently do exactly what you're asking. However, Uniden's zip code scanners (436/536, SDS100/200) have a feature called discovery with an option to compare to database (radioreference). However, the compare to database option is currently broken and in need of bug fixes. (This is well documented issue here on rr.)
