ProScan: Multiple Scanners

[scannerowner]

I want to remotely listen to my BCD996T and eventually 536HP. I know I need 2 audio inputs, if someone can help figure it out. Then I want to control both scanners remotely and hear audio.

You mean two audio inputs to your PC?

Generally, the sound card in a PC has an input for a microphone, and some also have a 'line in' audio input.

But you can add additional audio ports using inexpensive USB external sound cards. Here's one example, from Amazon:

You can find a number of other similar devices on Amazon, eBay, & elsewhere with a simple search via Googleor the search engine of your choice.

This is what you want my setup 16 scanners on 16 copies of PROSCAN on 1 PC.
I can come in on Proscan Clients or I can use ANYDESK and remote into the controlling PC.

I have used Freescan to record audio fone the 996T. Can I use the line in with an adapter or does it have to be a separate sound card?

I use good not cheap usb hubs
1 the line L & R
4 USB LINE IN L & R
6 NETWORK 5 536'S AND SDS200

As was mentioned, the 536 has WIFI network connectivity that include the audio. You can use the soundcard with the 996 and the network connection with the 536.
I would test the 536 WIFI for a bit to be sure there aren't any issues with loss of connection. I have had it simply stop working and not reconnect. I believe that was another thing that was left unfinished by UPMan when he passed away.

Can I stream audio from my 996T to the RadioFeed server? What's the best way to get the audio to go between 2 scanners into one sound card? Just a simple splitter into the stereo port on the PC?

If said soundcard has a mic input AND a line-in input you can use both & point each Proscan or Radiofeed instance to the appropriate input

I use a audio splitter cable to record 2-scanners to 1 soundcard line input. Example scanner #1 is a 15X and scanner #2 is a 996XT. Make the first scanner the left cable side and second scanner right cable side. You go into audio settings in ProScan. Radio #1 you turn up all the left side sliders and turn down all the right side sliders. For radio #2 you do the opposite, Right side sliders up and left sliders down. Set to record and playback to mono. Now one radio will record/playback on left channel and other radio will be on right channel. Works great.
