Is proscan really worth it over OEM programming software?

<snip> I cannot find instructions for programming. <snip>

The well-written ProScan manual is found under the “Support” menu item in the application.

It's a given: ProScan for the scanners and RT Systems for the ham radios.

Between the two, they probably saves hours and they give amazing results!

Hi it's brejames1 idk where to start each search I put in goes no where so I'll ask a fellow ham. I need help to use proscan or ARC536 to put in 1 talk group into my SDS 200 do u know of a video specifically showing how to do that. Thanks and 73's

Editing the favorites lists using ProScan or ARC536 is similar to using Sentinel and the scanner front panel. TGIDs are added to the Departments.

A FL (Favorites Lists) contains the systems. I would keep it simple at first and just have one FL.

As the majority of opinion has stated, it's an emphatic yes from me as well. I bought Proscan knowing that it would perform much better than some other software. I also like the history log file it generates and due to that I'm able to compile some interesting statistics like these charts.

I hear everyone say programming w/ProScan is easier. Since 2018, I've only used Sentinel. I do have ProScan running my 200 off my desktop. I also have ProScan on my laptop which I use Sentinel for programming. I'm not a computer guy so it takes a bit to get the feel for it. I cannot find instructions for programming. Can someone post a basic "what to do" list in bullet point form. From there I can play around and hopefully get it working. Looks like 1st step is import Sentinel DB? Thanks in advance.
