RSOIP MP3

Is anyone else noticing background 'clicks' when using MP3 format for RSOIP? G729 format doesn't seem to have any clicks over the same networks.

Is anyone else noticing background 'clicks' when using MP3 format for RSOIP? G729 format doesn't seem to have any clicks over the same networks.

Are the background clicks occurring when activity starts or is it at constant interval. Are you using a portable type scanner? I'm thinking the frequency response of the G729 Codec or lower Sample Per Second setting may be masking the problem.

I noticed when using my bc396xt with a amplified speaker you will hear a popping sound, which I believe is the audio amplifier of the scanner engaging and disengaging and the amplified speaker amplifying the pop. I use a ground loop isolator and it helped get rid of, most of the popping sound. I wonder if the click you are hearing is the popping I'm talking about.

Background Clicks

I've now found restarting ProScan (server instance) stops the click and then over a day or so they slowly start again. Weird. I have isolation transformers inline. It's not related to activity and is most noticable when there's no audio. They are background clicks every second or so that I can't hear in recordings, only over RSOIP.

New Bug???

Hey Bob, I may have found a bug in V 11.7
When trying to see the displayed data from the C-CH Output, I no longer get anything at all. Using an BCD396XT, with C-CH Output set to on, extended both... Nothing is displaying on the ProSCAN screen. It was working with previous version. Should I do an reinstall and see what happens?

I see the same thing on a 996XT.

Update: On the C-CH screen, I can only see LTR data displayed, no Motorola or P25. On the tests screen I can see the Moto and P25 data scrolling but not on the C-CH screen. So yep, this is an bug.

I will look at this before the next release.

Add failure to save ANY P25 NAC to the list of bugs. CTCSS and CDCSS it saves with no issues, but it now fails to save a single P25 NAC. Type in, or use the drop down to click on an NAC, hit save, and then go back to the listing after going to another group, and it is right back to NAC search.

This one was fixed a few weeks ago.

It's not released yet. I always never uninstall. That doesn't do anything.

Metadata Delay Question

I was thinking the Metadata delay on the Web Page was to delay the Metadata by x seconds as displayed in the graphical representation of the scanner?
It doesn't seem to be doing that for me, or I am doing something wrong.

Or is it just the textual metadata at the bottom of the webpage. (which it is doing)

Could you clarify this?

Thanks

The Metadata Delay option delays the Metadata on the Web Page. I was going to make an option to delay the Virtual Scanner display but that's on the backburner while the BCD536HP database editor is in development.

Ok..... good to know.

Thanks!

Recording not creating mp3 files

I have recording turned on and noticed that some of the folders have mp3's in them and some don't.
But the Recorder screen is showing them as being recorded, but they cant be played back since the mp3 file isn't there.

I am using the default Recording Folders (%D\%S) and Filename format (%DT - %S - %C)
For one of the ones not working:
%S = Lancaster County-Wide Communications (LCWC) - Northwest Simulcast
%C = South Police Dispatch

So it creates the directory for the Date
Under that it creates a DIrectory named:
Lancaster County-Wide Communications (LCWC) - Northwest Simulcast
But it never creates a filename
DATETIME County-Wide Communications (LCWC) - Northwest Simulcast - South Police Dispatch.mp3

I thought it might have been the parens in the directory name, but if I change the Folder to %D\%C and the Filename to %DT - %C, I get folders named:
Fire-EMS Dispatch B (Northeast)
And under that a file named:
01-26-17 13-46-10 - Fire-EMS Dispatch B (Northeast).mp3

Is the length of something too long????

Thanks
Mark

Yes, the path and filename limited are limited to 260 characters

BTW, if anyone is running ProScan on Windows 10 inside a VirtualBox environment on OSX, are you able to see the scanner when the scanner is in Serial Port mode? VB sees the radio and ProScan sees the radio's port inside Windows 10, but ProScan can't seem to talk to the radio. I'm fairly certain this is a VirtualBox thing and not a ProScan thing, but thought I'd ask here anyway.

I agree it's probably a VirtualBox issue. What I did on VirtualBox running under Linux was, under VirtualBox/settings/serial ports, checked "connect to existing pipe/socket." Then below that you'll need to enter a device from your OSX machine on the line that says Path/Address.

Hope that gets you pointed in a helpful direction; no doubt there will be better guidance on a VirtualBox forum. Good luck!

BCDx36HP Favorites Support

Just a quick update on the development of the BCDx36HP Favorites Editor. Development is coming along nicely. It should be ready around mid March.

Thanks. Look exciting. I am sure you can find some beta testers!
