How do you add in a scanner to the updated software? I only see how to add sources, with no way to associate a scanner.
I have this semi-understood; but still looking for more information. I have a BCD436HP tied in into my laptop. Audio is a double male 3.5mm jack (scanner to line in). I had to turn the playback on the mic on to hear the scanner.
-Click New Source
-Name Source (this will create a new channel on the main page)
-Click Source Type "Line In" - The Streaming URL changes to Multi-Line In Source
-Determine which Line In is carrying the Scanner audio and select that.
-Enable Channel-1 - This allows you to Name the specific device the Maine Source will log ID's on. The hit OK.(Mine was labeled 436 indicating it's attached to that scanner).
**I don't have something for Channel-2 and not sure how that would work monitoring two different radios w/one Line-In Source. I tried a 3.5mm splitter and it heard two scanner as one Channel).
Both the New Source & Channel-1 Source open as two separate Channels on main screen. The MDC1200 ID will display on the New Source channel, but will log as the Channel-1 source.
-Plug your scanner into the USB/Serial port (mine is USB).
-Click on the Channel-1 (sub) channel settings from main page. The Usual Source Editor appears with the Scanner specific information from earlier versions.
-Select 396/996/436/536 is applicable.
-Select the Serial Port available (it should populate when it recognizes the USB/Serial you plugged in. If nothing's there, it didn't recognize it)
Here is where I don't understand the software anymore. I don't know if it's supposed to have some control or display capability using the Parity, Data Bits, Baud Rate and Stops Bits settings. I also don't know what Unit ID Support is (but I have it on). I'm trying to read more on that.
