ProScan: Official Software Thread

[Dispatrick]

Why didn't you email me so I could of taken a look and fix it if needed?
Bug Reporting and Suggestions

Sorry for the delay I should have earlier. I was having another issue with my computer and another unrelated program (Itunes not playing, resolved) and I thought it may have been that but I just updated to 17_5 right before my post and it did it again.

ProScan Version 17.5 Just Released!

• Added - BCD536HP & SDS200 LAN - Option "Show Popup Message if Detected Loss of LAN Audio After 30 Seconds". Option to turn on & off located in the URL Setup dialog window.
• Added - BCD536HP & SDS200 LAN - Option "Restart Scanner Upon Loss of LAN Audio After 5 Minutes". Option located in the URL Setup dialog window.
• Fixed - BCD536HP & SDS200 LAN - Latency increased over time when using the Loopback function.

This isn't much unless you're using the BCD536HP & SDS200 LAN audio. It's one of the most requested items. I just want to get this out so I can start a new Free Client, then a new RadioFeed, before starting the next ProScan feature.

ProScan is the most powerful and feature rich scanner software in the world !!!

Made in the USA

Not seeing that option on my updated version 17.5.0. I am navigating Comm Port in the menubar to URL Setup.

What's up with the error message when trying to download the latest version 17.5?

I thought it was just me.
I went to the home page to get it for now.

I forgot about going to the site directly for the update. Thanks for reminding me. Got the update and everything looks ok so far. Although the latest updates don't affect me anyways.

Bob, Reading what Dispatrick said. I don't think the problem is with the programming(script) in Proscan, or even with his scanner. I tried to emulate the problem with my registered version of Proscan. But, I couldn't find a checkbox. Where Proscan would be caused to shutdown prematurely.

New update working great thanks Bob

Bob, Same for me. As always, kudos'!!

I have never had this problem.

Total fan of Bob and his work for us with his ProScan creation! So it is with my head held low that I ask this most rudimentary question. First, the scenario:

I have a very basic setup with two BCT15X units connected to a dedicated PC for the purpose of recording my local PD and Fire/EMS. (That way I can listen later to catch up on all the action I’ve missed while away from the scanners and don’t have my handheld with me.) 😂 Currently they are each connected to the pc using the front data/programming port and the audio out on the back panel. For mounting purposes using the front jack is cumbersome. So the question...

What is the purpose of the serial connector on the back of the BCT15X? Can it be configured and connected to carry the data needed by ProScan to capture events and create logs? Or am I stuck tucking the front cable through the mount to make the needed connection? I’m not capturing gps data, but wonder what else that lonely rs-232 jack might be capable of. I bow to the wisdom and experience of this group’s gurus, and confess my inability to find answers via searching the forum. Thanks in advance.

Yes, the rear DB-9 port carries the data for programming and logging. A null modem adapter or cable is needed since the port doubles as a GPS port. A null modem does nothing more then swapping pins 2 & 3.

Outstanding! Thanks so much for the speedy and helpful reply. The setup will soon be a little more aesthetically pleasing and less apt to bump the data connection. Thank you!

I forgot before but I would change the rear port baud baud rate from the default 4800 to 115200 bps.

How much flexibility is available for importing frequencies (clipboard?)

I have a few large lists that I would like to import, however I need to import Sites and Locations (GPS) on top of normal channel allocations etc.

Can I bulk import ~1200 sites and GPS information (and even GPS mileage settings) easily sodo I have to enter site by site?

I would test myself, but my free trial has expired and the AU to US exchange rate makes proscan a little more exy than what I can afford to purchase to test a feature

Each site has to be imported separately using the Get Clipboard function. It will import everything below the site level which are the frequencies, LCNs, Color Codes, & RANs. It will not import location data since that is at the site level. User has to setup the site first then use the Get Clipboard function.

Thanks, I feared that may be the case.. Looks like a lot of data entry coming up

With your fingers?

No, sentinel will hopefully save most of the work for me (1,110 sites in total, hopefully some are duplicates)

I'm not clear on what you are trying to accomplish? Can you elaborate.
Do you plan on uploading or writing the data to a scanner and what type of scanner?
Is your list in a csv or readable text format?
Are these 1100 sites broken up into different systems?
How many frequencies are in each site?
