Thanks for the tip. But another issue cropped up. Hooked up my BCT15X. Everything is working fine. BUT, am doing a custom search, 225 to 400 Mhz. Been running over an hour. Nothing logged. Looked at my audio log and have 15 recordings. No log in history or UID log. Does Proscan not log custom searches?
I think Win 10 and Win 11 are the most stable versions. I would make sure each instance of ProScan are in different folders. If you have a constant tone then go to the Audio Control - Test tab then turn off the Tone Generator.
I found a lot of users complaining about Win11. Because some of the updates after upgrading to Win11 have been a nightmare. I am presently dealing with an update that requires a detailed solution to fix it. I missed the cutoff point of, being able to go back to Win10.
We just updated 600+ workstations to Win11, and it was fine. I must be leading a charmed life. Run multiple instances of ProScan on a Windows 10 HP ProDesk (mini) for years, sometimes as many as 7 instances, along with Unitrunker or sdr-trunk, with nary a hiccup. Have a completely unsupported laptop (Intel mac) that runs Win11 (native, not virtualized) and all my SW flawlessly without any tricks, voodoo, or magic.
I didn’t install twice. Just double clicked on the icon and a second one popped up. Didnt do that on my win7 system. Was wondering if a possibility of a conflict. I’ll install another one and see how it goes. Thanks
The setup file in Win 7 and Win 10 are exactly the same. When running the setup, you will be prompted for the directory to install ProScan in. Choose a different folder for each instance.
Is that another app or ProScan? The Win 11 APIs that ProScan using haven’t changed. It could be a Win 11 option.
Heavens, no. Not Proscan. I was referring to Win11 specifically.
You don't have to install twice. Create a second folder, copy the contents of Proscan into the new folder. I also recommend renaming the folder to reflect the instance i.e. 1)BCT15x 2)SDS200. Also create a new Shortcut directed to the second instance and rename.
More power to you, and I hope it stays that way. I only had to do a simple Google search to find that there are still a lot of bugs.
No issues with ProScan on Win 11.
Bob with PROSCAN has always said to run more than 1 instance PROSCAN to install a copy for each instance you are going to run each in a different folder.
Are there hidden files files in the folder that needs to copy over too? Not hard to unhide the files until after the transfer then hide them back in folder options. I'll look at it today and see. Also, think I found the culprit nuking both when I was messing around with the sound system. Had to disable the mixer. Since the system nukes both scanners, had this high pitch noise coming from the speakers I couldn't stop until I disabled the mixer. Could not adjust it out. One reason why I prefer to build my computers is installing just a OS, and not the crap HP, Dell, etc., put on top of the OS.
No hidden files.
Ok. Thanks.
No, Just Win11. Thankfully, Not ProScan.
