ProScan: Official Software Thread

[ProScan]

I just change them to their corresponding site number before writing to scanner.

Here is a list of all RAN's for that system. Perhaps save you a little time. The only value above 63 is 99 so I find it hard to believe "site 64-127 is RAN 0-63 again"

{edit} What ProScan does is use the RAN if between 0 to 63 and ignore everything else(same as using the default of "Search")

SiteName=Miami, RAN=1
SiteName=Delray, RAN=2
SiteName=Fort Lauderdale, RAN=3
SiteName=Palm City, RAN=99
SiteName=Coral Springs, RAN=5
SiteName=Hallandale Beach, RAN=6
SiteName=West Palm, RAN=7
SiteName=Orlando, RAN=99
SiteName=Vero Beach, RAN=99
SiteName=Sunrise, RAN=10
SiteName=Cutler Ridge, RAN=11
SiteName=Okeechobee, RAN=99
SiteName=Lakeland, RAN=99
SiteName=Davie, RAN=14
SiteName=Tampa, RAN=99
SiteName=Fort Lauderdale, RAN=99
SiteName=Deerfield Beach, RAN=17
SiteName=Princeton, RAN=18
SiteName=Fort Pierce, RAN=99
SiteName=Oldsmar, RAN=99
SiteName=Bithlo, RAN=99

The only site I'm close to is Tavernier and Miami. When I run search on my 536, it shows Tavernier as RAN 38, the same as listed as site on the Florida Fleet Talk RRDB. Was wondering why some are site related and some are 99 unless the map sites aren't corresponding with the listed site numbers.

I would contact the regional DB Admin or submit a report with your findings. Whatever the procedure is.

Only half correct. RRDB shows Tavernier Site RAN: (* Any)

The RRDB is evidently using '99' as a placeholder for "unknown" or "any", since 99 is not a valid RAN. As mentioned, all of the sites that are described above as returning '99' are showing "(* Any)" in the RAN field on the site details page. See this link: https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?siteId=22473

Sounds reasonable as a placeholder probably because the script RRDB is using defines that field as an integer and 0 is used so 99 was chosen as "Any" or "Search". And I know you know all about that by programming CAD's.

the Database Entries for a lot of NXDN systems are just being updated now, there is a ton of incomplete information out there, so if you do find accurate information it really needs to be submitted

If you can chose a different Reg Name for each purchase. I can upon request, merge each purchase into a single purchase with one Reg Name..

Bob did this for my two licenses and all it well!

Should the Baud Rate in Device Manager for the Uniden Serial Port be set to match the scanner’s & Proscan’s baud rates?

At present, both the scanner and Proscan are set at 115,200 but Device Manager Shows that the Uniden Serial Port’s baud rate is set to 9600. It can be set to 115,200 too.

In all my years, I've never had to change the baud rate in device manager.
I think it may have mattered in old Win 3 or 3.11.
I'm not even sure what the device manager baud rate setting does in modern day windows unless it is a compatibility thing maybe.

I have a dozen or so instances of ProScan running and just setting the radios baud and proscan so they match was all I ever needed to do.

The Device Manager Port Settings baud rate doesn't matter. That's for legacy Modems.

Thanks for the help guys, I will not change it.

How do I copy the History Logging Data from ProScan on my laptop to ProScan on my desktop? Transferring the ProScan file in Drive C does not transfer the history logging data.

How do I copy the History Logging Data from ProScan on my laptop to ProScan on my desktop? Transferring the ProScan file in Drive C does not transfer the history logging data.

1. Make sure ProScan is not running on the desktop else the "History Data.txt" file will be overwritten with different data when ProScan shuts down.
2. Copy the "History Data.txt" file located in the ProScan folder.
3. Restart ProScan, ProScan will read the "History Data.txt" file and populate the logging grid.

 

[captainmax1]

I do not see a "History Data txt" file in the ProScan folder in C/ Program Files x36/ ProScan folder. Where would this file be? I searched the entire C drive for it yesterday but never found it.

From the proscan.org FAQ page:
Q: I can't find the config file or the logging files.
A: If ProScan is installed in the Program Files(x86) folder AND running 64 bit OS AND not running ProScan in admin mode then Windows puts all program generated files in the VirtualStore folder located at C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\ProScan

An easy way to get there is go to the Test & Extra tab and click on the "Windows File Explorer Application Data Folder" button

 

[captainmax1]

Program Files (x36) is the default location that ProScan installs. I am now more lost than before. Can't find Test & Extra tab or any of the files. Is there a video for this or more detailed instructions? In every other scanner, ham and music programs I own, transferring files from one computer to another is very easy. I would like to see all my loggings history load when I start ProScan on my desktop like on my laptop.
