ProScan: Official Software Thread

[ProScan]

The Control Panel in Windows has a mouse setting called "Snap-To". When it's checked, the mouse pointer automatically jumps and positions itself to the highlighted / selected button whenever an application gives you a pop-up prompt.

Okay thanks. Probably not going to do this.

I believe user interface programming best practices generally discourages things like this... some users will be like "where did my mouse go?"

It's like in Uniden Sentinel when you copy a system into your favorites list and the whole display of systems "moves"... hate it. I want it to stay where I am pointing so I can select the next thing on the screen (and not have to constantly scroll back up).

Now, making some things optional - sure. As options, no problem.

Thank you. That's exactly what I was thinking. I thought about making an option but then people would forget they have the option on and I would be flooded with support emails telling me about a bug.

Yeah - that's the downside of options -- which one does any given user currently have selected... Still, I love persistent options myself - there's lots of things I do when building configurations, etc. where the software has no facility to "remember" my preferences.. that bugs me alot also. But, no matter what a piece of software does (or doesn't do), it will never be 100% satisfactory to everyone. Gotta find that middle ground....

Audio

I am wondering if there is a way to isolate each radio's audio? or is this done automatically by scanner type? Am I able to run 7 different feeds into my computer via an audio splitter and they be deciphered separately to allow scanner over IP? Or is it something more complex that I have to do? I hope you guys understand what I mean here.

Hello Bob..........I'm probably in the wrong place to be asking, but will my ProScan software track and log any Control Frequencies for my Uniden BCD536 scanner?

Please take a look at my Screen shot and let me know what this box on my display is showing me! Is there an instruction sheet that tells some information about the display?

Thanks

 

[kibler]

Bob..........I finally found the SUPPORT button at the top of display! I will do some reading here and should be able to find something! Sorry for the trouble and thanks!

 

[CanesFan95]

That part of the display tells you what RF frequency the scanner is physically tuned to and receiving. This is useful for knowing if the scanner has found and locked on to a control channel (and to see what the current control channel frequency is). It is also helpful in knowing if the scanner is properly following the rest channel on Capacity Plus systems.

Without the software, my BCD996P2 doesn't tell you this.

 

[kibler]

Ok Scanna.........Thanks! This is what I was thinking it was for! This will really pin down the proper Frequencies! Thanks

Each scanner audio should be separate or isolated. It's whatever sound card input you choose and set up ProScan Web Server, Source Client, RSOIP, Recorder to use the same. It's not done automatically and certainly not by scanner type. I don't understand why you are using an audio splitter. That my be your problem.

It's not clear what you are trying to achevice. Perhaps draw a diagram.

I am not using an audio splitter, I have not setup the audio yet to the software. that is why I was asking. I didn't want to waste money and time.

I would try setting up the audio. Your questions may be answered. The 30 day trial/demo is fully functional so you won't waste money. Yes, you can feed 7 scanners into the computer provided you have the inputs. One feed can be on the left input and another on the right input so 1 stereo line or mic input can handle 2 feeds..

It should be a DMR Conventional Networked. I will fix it before the next release.

I own the software, It is amazing, I just have a lot to learn on it yet. Thank you for helping me.

Correction: I meant to say the DMR Conventional Networked should of imported as a DMR One Freq. It's fixed.

What release? I'm still on 12.6 and it shows latest version.

12.6 is the latest released. It's fixed and will be in the next release.

I wondered if anyone could enlighten me on how to get a second talkgroup to be silenced. I have a DMR one freq trunk with two TGIDs, channel 1 and channel 2. One is our local PD and two is our county sheriff. I have the second locked out, but when channel 1 keys up, talks then quits, if there is traffic on channel 2 it comes through until they stop talking. Its like once the repeater is keyed up, the scanner stays locked on until channel 2 traffic stops and unkeys. Channel 2 is very busy so it happens a lot. The lockout works only insofar as keeping channel2 from coming across on its own, just not when it happens to follow channel 1 traffic. I have a Uniden bcd996p2. It is set up like this:

SYSTEM: Hoopdig (DMR One-Freq Trunk) (System: DMR, Freq's 1, TGIDs 2)
|------Hoopdig (Group: Freqs, Freq's 1)
| |
| 151.0175
|-----HoopdigTGIDS (Group: TGIDs, TGID's:2)
|
|----------ch1HPD (TGID:283, TDMA slot 1)
|----------ch2VCSheriff (TGID:2832, TDMA slot 2, locked out)

I hope this makes sense. I tried setting the hold time on the group Hoopdig to 1 second, it didn't help.

On the Recorder tab, the Next button doesn't seem to do anything. Also, is there any way to automatically play a list of recordings, instead of having to click on each file and play it individually?
