ProScan: Official Software Thread

[ProScan]

ProScan Version 1.7 Build 2 includes the RadioReference Imports feature, improved Scanner Over IP, and bug fixes.

Supported scanners are the BCD996T, BC796D, BC785D, BC780XLT, BC296D, and the BC250D.

I'm thriving to make this the best Computer Aided Scanning program and suggestions are very much appreciated.

You're very welcome. Thanks for the update.

Folks, the BCD160DN/BCD260DN support is nearing completion. Let me know of any bugs or suggestions.

This test version is still version 22.6. File version changed to 22.6.2.2
Unzip and copy the files over the originals. Stop ProScan first.

https://proscan.org/ProScan_22_6_2_2.zip

22.6.2.2

• Fixed - BCD160DN - Keypad wasn't functioning properly.
• Fixed - BCD160DN/BCD260DN - DMR & NXDN codes weren't logging.
• Fixed - BCD260DN - RX & Alert LEDs weren't not functioning.

Also in file versions 22.6.2.1 & 22.6.2.2

• Fixed - Waterfall - Double clicking the Frequency Pointer wasn't moving the Marker correctly when using the LAN port.
• Changed - Google Maps - Disabled the internal browser option because it wasn't working with the recent Google changes.

Is there a way to change the UID prepend that ProScan uses to recognize the UID (default "%")? So rather than the scanner display showing the % symbol in front of every UID, it could be "UID:", or "--" (sans quotes), or whatever the user chooses. Or maybe a way to hide the prepend? I searched the forums and wiki and didn't find the answer, but point me in the right direction if I missed it. I'm using a BCD996P2.
Thanks for the great software, Bob.

Update the BCD160DN connected to the same antenna at the same time with my TRX-1 in the car today went to Carroll County DMR T3 System. Both Scanners only scanning the T3 System the 160 scanning the 3 Frequencies locked on ANY CONVERSATION just like the TRX-1 on a busy System it is not going to TRACK or Display TG's or UID's but it will receive ALL TALKGROUPS not ENCRYPTED.

Hi Bob! Long time user, love the program.
Was wondering if we can get the Number tag tune column that's in the history log tab on the recorder tab as well.

Thanks!

Not really a reply to anything but I was steered towards this thread
for help. I tried searching for my topic before posting but I had to
stop because I thought my head might explode.

.......myself and a couple of other members of a volunteer fire
department are trying to set up streaming of our radio channels
on the "Bryx" cell phone app for our members to monitor when
out of the area.

We have an SDS200 at the firehouse connected to our network
and are using ProScan for RSOIP.

Control over the fire department computer system is very strict.
Once ProScan was installed on one of the computer stations
multiple phones calls to our IT company along with multiple emails
to and from them (with Bob Aune helping out, thank you Bob) the
IT company said we are good to go for streaming.

Well, not so much.

I do know that the public IP address to the server xx.xx.xx.xx:5000
is open. When I type that in to a web browser, either within the firehouse
network or elsewhere, I get nowhere, just a spinning wheel on the tab
that never stops.

I was able to connect to the scanner inputting that same IP address from
my home computer into Free Client and can hear radio transmissions.

Bryx needs a working URL to create a link on their app to stream
the scanner. In theory xx.xx.xx.xx:5000 would be the URL but that
doesn't work.

So the long and short of it is the URL doesn't work from a web browser
but the same information in Free Client works.

What am I missing? What is the IT company missing?

On a different note, in the Free Client Status Log I see multiple instances
of "Client Stopped (Server Not Responding Code 9)" and about 10 seconds
later it's connected again. What is Code 9?

is open. When I type that in to a web browser, either within the firehouse
network or elsewhere, I get nowhere, just a spinning wheel on the tab
that never stops.

You may know this but just in case:
Using a web browser requires the Web Server feature.
Using the RSOIP in Client mode or the Free Client requires the Remote Scanner Over IP feature.

If you are running both the Remote Scanner Over IP feature and Web Server feature then use different port numbers for each.
If the RSOIP is using port 5000 then the Web server can use 5001 or whatever port # you want to use.

In the router Port Forwarding section, setup two rules. One for the RSOIP port 5000 and another for the Web Server port 5001.
Port 5000 and 5001 are used just for examples. You can use any port numbers you want.

Use https://canyouseeme.og/ to test port 5000 and 5001

Server Not Responding Code 9 messages means that the near end can't communicate with the far end for some reason. The TCP protocol doesn't provide where the problem is. To troubleshoot that, try connecting with other RSOIP servers, if the problem goes away then the problem is on the server side. If it's intermittent then it could be cables, connectors, nic cards, etc.

{edit} I'm not familiar with the Bryx cell phone app. I looked it up and that uses the Bryx Fire Station Alerting System.
So It's not compatible with the Web Server or RSOIP server features

The web server stream or source client should be 100% compatible. The Bryx app uses a standard Ice/shout cast stream. It may not accept an IP address and port format though.

I am not immediately familiar with the setup, but another county I work closely with is streaming a BC996P2 to radiomast.io. I don't know what they are using as the source client. I did reach out to see if the tech there can shed any light on this.

Is that Microsoft Defender or another antivirus software?
I see that VirusTotal shows Microsoft Trojan:Win32/Sabsik.TE.B!ml
I don't see it with Microsoft Defender when I download and install version 22.8. Using the latest definition 1.407.403.0 and no allowed threat exemptions in place.
