ProScan: Official Software Thread

Uniden SDS200 scanner. Yes, using the Get Clipboard function. Importing columns from a standard Microsoft Excel .xlsx spreadsheet.

The problem is that if I select the column of NAC codes as "Tone" from the dropdown list, they import into the program as analog DCS codes. This is whether or not I select the "Mode" as "Auto" or "P25". Example" NAC code B11 imports as DCS11.

In the program, the "Audio Type" column, you cannot copy and paste, each selection must be made from the drop down list.

I'll look at it. I have several items to do before I can get to it.

Is there a way to copy and paste P25 NAC codes from a spreadsheet into ProScan? No problem with frequencies and channel names, but audio options convert NAC codes into analog DCS codes. Hoping I don't have to do them one at a time.

I copy and paste directly from the RRDB web page via the "Get Clipboard" feature. Tone, including NAC for P25 is one of the options available and pastes into my database just fine.

In your Excel spreadsheet, put 'P25' or 'NAC' before the code so they will import properly.

I use OpenOffice and I'm sure this can be done with Excel: Format a column as Text then put 'NAC ' in the format code box. Now the cells should show properly.

Yes, I tried this, and it works in Excel; by putting "NAC" in front of the NAC code. Thanks!

Tried updating ProScan to the latest version on my dedicated radio/scanner PC and got this. Going to assume it is a false positive.

If that is McAfee, I had to get rid of it. It would not allow me to install several programs.

It's Windows Security, surprisingly.

I'm on Windows 11 with a Uniden 536XLT connected via wifi dongle to Proscan. For some reason, Proscan is using my PC microphone (in Recorder, the threshold level meter goes up and down with ambient noise). Why is this happening and how can I stop Proscan from using my PC microphone? Thanks in advance.

Go to the Audio Control tab then the Recorder tab, Ensure the input is set to URL. The only other thing I can think of is the speaker on the 536HP is acting as a microphone.

Thanks. In the Recorder tab, the "Input Sound Device" drop down is greyed out (stuck on "Primary Sound Capture Device").

Turn off the recorder then set the Input to URL.

 

[Rbp1414]

Just tried that, and Input Sound Device is still greyed out.

I forgot about the UID Recorder. Go to that tab and turn off the Recorder.

 

[Rbp1414]

Okay, that fixed the issue. Thanks! Now another question - while I am recording, why does a transmission appear in the Recorder tab table and then disappear once the transmission ends?

That will happen if the transmission time is shorter then the time set in this option.

I have a question in regards to the auto sort feature for the logs. In options, I have the box checked to auto sort new entries on both the logging tab, and recorder tab. Everything seems to work fine for a while, but eventually they start getting out of order. If i click the tab, the sorting corrects to where things should be, but will go back to being out of order again after a while. It happens on both of my computers running ProScan 23.3. One is Windows 10 and the other is Windows 11.

In the screenshot, you'll see that it is set to sort by channel, but the items are not in the correct order. I am running other instances of ProScan for different scanners and the same thing is happening. I'm just wondering if there's something I missed.

I'll look at it before the next release. If it's not fixed then send me a Bug Report. Link is on the proscan.org web site.

Hey Bob,

I emailed you (support@proscan.org) about a license problem two weeks ago (Oct 6) and never got a response. I confirmed that there's nothing in my spam folder. Did you get my email? Do I need to resend it?

Thanks.
