ProScan: Official Software Thread

[ProScan]

Ok, I got a folder named current programing. I also have a folder called playing around. I done this to learn how to enter all my info through proscan instead of the manual entry and to just tinker and learn. I didn't want to mess up the program that I knew was right!

Are the two folders for separate instances of ProScan? If not and just for the database, you don't need separate folders just separate files but separate folders will work.

Now I have a new system completely set up in my playing around folder and would like to add the new system to my current programming folder. I uploaded it to the BC as an addition to current program. I would like to know if I can add it through proscan with a wipe then upload, as prosan recommends! Clear as mud??? Appreciate any help!

Yes but I didn't recommend one method or the other. It's up to you. Basically two ways to get the new system/s in the scanner.

Method A: Using an opened database file containing all systems including the new system/s. Upload with the option "Delete All Items In The Scanner That Are Not In The Database Before Uploading.". You can also choose the option "Delete All Systems In The Scanner Before Uploading."

Method B: Using an opened database file with just the new system/s. Upload with the option "Don't Delete Any Scanner Items Before Uploading.".

ProScan Screen I've Never Encountered Before

I had to reinstall again yesterday and have never run into this before. I've looked every where and can't find this file. I did tell the program to use ProScan defined colors but where did this come from? Has anyone else run into this before?

 

[ProScan]

In the last version release, I made a small modification as follows. When a user change scanner type to SDS100, the profile.cfg file is read for colors. However I didn't make it to only read if using the Sentinel Colors and not ProScan colors. I fixed it. The fix will be in the next version not released yet.

Bottom line is hit the Cancel button. If changing scanner type to SDS100 then you hit the Cancel button each time.

Oh OK. Thank you.

Thank you Sir!!

Is there a way to log the RSSI throughout a transmission for graphing, or average the RSSI? When I look at the History Logging tab, the RSSI seems to reflect the last recorded RSSI.
I'm seeing -70 dBm during a transmission, but at the very last moment it'll jump down to -100 dBm when the traffic stops.

Select Each transmission in new row, then export to Excell (or other DB).

Have not tried, but sounds doable.

That only grabs the last reported RSSI.

I found a place where the current RSSI is noted, Current Channel.txt, however I'm not savvy enough to figure out how to grab that files output and log it for my own use.

Not sure if related to an earlier post, but I am now getting this error when attempting to save recordings.

 

[buddrousa]

Is the folder there?
If not create the folder then try to save to it.

 

[gcopter1]

No, it wasn't there. I right clicked it and created one. Will monitor what happens next. Thanks.

Question, is it sufficient to just create a folder named recordings or, would I have to name it exactly as in the screenshot?

I just clicked again on the "Recorder" tab and the message popped up again.

 

[ProScan]

Don't need to create folders. That's done automatically. I think the most likely cause is the path length exceeded 260 characters.

{edit} Doesn't look like the 260 max path limitation applies here. I would change the Recordings locations to something other than C:\Program Files as that folder requires programs to write to it to have admin elevated access. You can also keep the Recordings in the C:\Program Files if you elevate ProScan to admin which I don't recommend.

Ok. I clicked again, on the recorder tab, the recorder button, and, I also went into the "Options" tab, clicked the "Recordings Location" button and selected my previously created "Recordings" folder. So far, I have not seen the error message again.

I also read your edit, I'll kept things as explained above, in case I run into the problem again, I will just create a folder in my desktop and send the recordings there.

Were you ever able to figure this out?
I am having this very SAME issue.
Thanks

That other instance of ProScan I mentioned, was an old shortcut.

I went into the Firewall and deleted both instances of ProScan and ran again the program.

Everything works except the audio.

I also note that, there's an intermittence, sometimes, all the ports are working, with the UDP Not Connected message. At other times, both TCP/UDP Not Connected message appears and then there's only the TCP Scanner Port, receiving data.

I'm using Windows 7 running inside a virtual machine, Parallels.

Your issue is the Wi-Fi audio. correct? Is it intermittent or can't connect at all?

Is the URL of the scanner inputted exactly like the example below the box?

The Wi-Fi audio protocol permits only one application to access the Wi-Fi audio so if another application is using the Wi-Fi audio, exit the other application.

Don't run AVG anti-virus software, if running. That program interrupts TCP connections.

been using proscan for years for logging 3 different 536's
yes each copy of proscan is in its own folder been working fine for years

but just started using proscan to record from 3 different 536's
i dont want to record every talkgroup but just a few
i see where on the recorder screen i can have it look for the record flag in the database
but for the x36's there is no flag for record on either the freq or the tgid?

so whats the best way to tell proscan what to record and what not to record on the 536's

thanks

No. I ended up just connecting via serial and using an audio cable to a USB sound card.

 

[WX9RLT]

Yeah, I can control the scanner via wifi. But I am unable to get it to record the audio.

Yeah, I run AVG, I will have to uninstall that and find another AV to run. Any suggestions as an alternative that will work?

I run just the one app. I had no idea I could run multiple, until I read this forum. I won't be doing that, but good to know though.

Here is screenshot of the url
