Unrelated question but what's stuff stuff in the right sidebar there? I don't think those are built-in to Windows so I'm assuming a third party app. Also... 3-ish months to upgrade to Windows 11! (unless you're paying for the security updates for another year). I don't like it, either, but it is what it is.

You use the ProScan Shortcuts? Correct. Can you help out this gentlemen if you have time. It's just been a while since I was in this area and will be starting a vacation this afternoon. I'll will point him to this thread. Thanks.

Good morning Bob,
I'm running Proscan VER 24.0. I'm using a BCD996P2. I've read through the manual concerning the shortcuts file, I'm wanting to add two shortcuts to upload and download from the scanner. I've looked at your examples but I'm still not sure how to add them. What I'm having trouble with is the structure of the commands. If this's not possible, no problem. The software is a great program. Thanks much for your help.

Bob... I hope this answers the gentleman's question, and have yourself a great - and well deserved - vacation!

Good morning Bob,

If I'm understanding the question correctly (whether or not the ProScan shortcuts can be used to upload or download programming files to and from the scanner), I don't believe that is possible. The shortcuts that can be created fall into 3 categories:

• Setting Volume values
• Setting Squelch values
• Automating only the set of functions that are otherwise available by manually scrolling through the scanner's on screen menu system and selecting and setting those items.

There are no functions available in the scanner's on screen menu system that would allow you to "Upload" or "Download" programming files, that would be a function of the ProScan software's database area.

There are functions in the scanner's menu system that you can use to manually create new programming of systems, groups, frequencies, etc. and all their many related parameters and settings in the scanner using a step by step, item by item process. Setting up the shortcuts needed to automate that entire process for any decent sized system would be far too cumbersome and time consuming. The normal process of creating programming files with the Proscan software and writing to the scanner would be a far better path.

Hope that helps, and let us know if you have any further questions.

to your

Unrelated questions the stuff you see on the right is called Windows 10 Gadgets and you are 100% correct they are in no way shape or from a part of the operating system of windows, and i really don't knows what iam going to do you can still keep the os with out upgrateing to the brand new os, evening with out the updates. Is it wise to do? absolutely not but it can be done in fact a lot still are today with out any problems at all. the only one problem i do see is when other software companies start phasing out the os, now i did just purchase a brand new laptop with the news os that i can get used to it plus i needing one and i can see if i like this brand new os or not. and if iam going to slap it on this one or not.

I have a "UBCD996P2" which I can have running with ProScan however this is under a BCD996P2. I have to use external software to program it. Is there any plans on adding support for this model?

Thank you

Proscan appears to have an issue with copying groups between pre-config and modifying the GPS data of those groups, as it somehow ends up corrupting that pre-config in the process. This issue can also create a ripple effect after you fix one of the groups (redownloading and reassembling them) and reupload. It triggers a statistical error and refuses to download that group and anything below that group. I've never had this issue before, until the last update.

The screen shot shows that the Proscan scanner type is BCD325P2. You have a UBCD996P2 - right? Do you get a better result if you change the Proscan scanner type to BCD996P2?

I'm confused, how exactly were you using ProScan to program it 5 years ago?

ProScan Limitations

Hi I have a UBCD996P2 and wish to upload CSE Orion Network - Connect Plus and Connect Max however there are a large amount of UID's and Channels and seem to have no issue with Sentinal for my 436-PT. However, when using ProScan I get the following error and wondering there are any workarounds

The BCD325p2 is made for the US/Canada market. The BCD325p2-AU is made for the Australian market.

Yes but I am wondering if ProScan will update to support the Australian edition

Proscan or Radio Reference db issue?

MTA MRRS has a new site listed in the database and Proscan is not seeing it with RRDB differences.

The site was added today.





If I import the whole system, its there. If I move the site from the import into the existing system, and run RRDB, it wants to delete the site.

Its not seeing it on Radio Reference.
