The UIDs are looking proper in my "UID Logging" tab. My "History" and "Recorder" tabs both have no data in the UID field.
ProScan: Official Software Thread
First, go to the Options - Logging tab and the History Grid section then ensure that the UID Column is set for 'UID Before lookup'. Do the same in the Options - Recorder tab. If some of the UIDs are still blank then most likely the scanner isn't sending the UID. That being said, the History and Recorder tabs are not suitable for keeping track of the UIDs because those logging grids are based on conv. freqs. and talk groups. And as you know, many UIDs per conv. freq. and talk group so one UID will be replaced with another. It's better to use the UID Logging grid to keep track of them. Of course, if the scanner isn't sending them then no entry in the UID grid.
I plan on making a Recorder based on UIDs that will be separate from the existing Recorder that is based on conv. freq. and talk groups. It's very high on the list.
THANK YOU for the excellent support. I love this radio and your software!!!
Thank you. You're very welcome.
I just thought I'd throw this in for the heck of it, this software... even if you don't mess with programming updates, or even use the program for 6-9 months, it's easy to get back into.
After moving into my retirement condo last month, I started using my scanner for more than listening to a couple of local channels and the ProScan software makes many tasks so much easier. The favorites editor came in extra handy as some of the local channels are VERY DIFFERENT in audio levels, one would be barely audible while another would blast me out of the room. Being able to even them all out with a few simple clicks on the screen was so gratifying.

I'm collecting a lot of data into the grid you created for Proscan and it got me to wondering if there'd be some way I could save all of it to a CD ROM or something. I'd like to be able to, for example, freeze the state of the collected transmissions today and then use Proscan to navigate the grid and sort/listen to whatever I choose (TGID, UID, DATES, etc). I didn't see an option to do that, but maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. IF there's no option, do you have any suggestions on how to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Thought I would bring this to your attention, running Proscan software and Uniden 436 scanner. Turning off and on close call.

video,
There some text files generated that may be of help. They are located in the application folder.
History Data.txt - This file is saved when the program closes. It's the History Grid data. You may be able to sort the Ending or Starting Date column so the most recent transmissions are at the top (or bottom then close ProScan and you should see the entries in the file in the same order as the grid.
Also may try the button "Copy / Move Selected Rows to Database Or Other File". Sort the grid first so the entries in the file will be like you want them to be.
On top of the new units from uniden in development, you should add functionality for the 125AT. I have bought ProScan and I would like to see functionality for the BC125AT so I don't need to pay for more software to program it. The CPS for the 125 on the uniden sucks. Please intergrate this into future updates!
Maybe down the road. I have many things I want to get done before I consider this.
I have a RRDB Differences question. On my SDS100, when I click on a system in one of my favorites., the RRDB Differences box is white and when I click on it, it turns light blue. When I click on the box, the left side of the screen briefly flashes, but nothing else happens. It seems to do the same thing, whether I click on a system that was added before or after v21.
The next thing that I did was create a "Test" favorites list and in Sentinel, and added a system to it. I repeated the process, with the same result.
Then, I deleted two of the talkgroups from the system in the "Test" favorites list. I repeated the process, with the same result.
In the manual, I read where it says about processing the data, but didn't understand the part where it said "It seems that it will only process the data if changing a system option to a temporary value then back to the original value".
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can't tell if the blue "RRDB Differences" button is not "enabled". It's definitely visible.
Any help would be appreciated.

The 'RRDB Differences' button should show only when importing from the RRDB in versions 21.0 and above. Not in prior versions and not creating a system with Sentinel. I don't know why the button is showing. I'll look at it but it will be a while as I'm in the middle of a few different things including adding support for the next two Uniden scanners.
The frequencies are different so that's expected behavior with regards to the logging. See if this option would help.
Thanks Bob. I think that I need to go back and re-think my question. I have only ever created systems in a favorites list by using Sentinel. I was under the impression that since database updates were done in Sentinel, that was the only place to create systems. After creating the system in Sentinel, I would then switch to ProScan to modify the systems (capitalization, justification, etc.).
Using the Sentinel database as your source for creating a system might result in one that is almost a week out of date. You would not see any details after the most recent database download. Uniden downloads the data on Sundays, then posted the newest version the following Monday.
Instead, if you import the system via ProScan, you have everything that is listed in the online database as of that moment. Also, when dealing with a sizeable statewide, or regional system, an append in Sentinel pulls all of the listed sites. But if done as an import via ProScan (since you are a Premium Subscriber), you can easily include what you want or need, and skip the things not of interest are that are well out of range. Plus, as Bob has already noted, if you create a system by using the import capability, then the RRDB differences function will target what's been added since that first import.
I have some recordings I want to listen to. When I go to the Recorder tab, select a group of recordings, sort by date, and press PLAY, it always seems to play in reverse chronological order. Am I missing something?
The recorder plays the last row selected 1st and works it's way up to the 1st row selected. You have the right ideal of changing the sort order by clicking the Date / Time column so the last row can be the latest file recorded. I see some of the rows are not in order so probably the auto sort option isn't on.
OK, I'll try that. Thanks for the info.
The only way I can get it to work as expected is to sort by time in REVERSE chronological order so that the newest recording is at the top of the list. Then select the block of recordings I want to hear. Regardless which 'end' I select first (the newest or oldest), the recorder always plays the bottom row first and moves 'up' the list. This seems a little counterintuitive to me, but you showed me how to do what I want to do, so thank you for helping me out.
