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.

Rick I don't want to steal Bob's thunder here, but unless there's some import error (always possible) there are a couple of things you need to know about the Morris system. Note that all links are blue

A. It uses LSM which drives the current crop of scanners nuts. That, and it being a simulcast system, makes it difficult to hear properly (we have a couple of such systems here in Maryland). This article explains this in detail

B. According to the entry in the database, it recommends upgrading the firmware to the scanner. Following are the links to the database, and our article on firmware upgrades

Morris County Public Safety Trunking System, Morris County, New Jersey - Scanner Frequencies

Updating the Firmware in Uniden DMA Scanners - The RadioReference Wiki

C. Finally the thread in our NJ forum that discusses the new MIRS system

Duplicate Frequency Utility

Is there a way to show all duplicates in one list, rather than 1 at a time?

Thanks

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply. I have updated the scanner to the newest firmware but still no audio. I am beginning to think perhaps I will have to wait for the new Uniden scanners coming out next year that do 2-TDMA as well?

Bob,

I'm still having an issue importing LTR systems from the RR database. For some reason, it places the site data into the talkgroup section instead. See attached.

Am seeing that as well in the latest update for Pro Scan.

I may or may not do depending on my work load and schedule. I'll give it consideration in January after I had time with the unit. It will be fun to do and will take five or six months to complete but not saying yes or no at this point.

I'd pay an upgrade fee to be able to support the new ones along with my 996xt

It's fixed in the next version, hopefully out soon. I have one more item to do. Next release will have the following:
Fixed - Database - XT Series Scanners - Importing LTR systems wasn't importing the frequencies.
Fixed - Non DMA scanners - Text Tag Line 1 wasn't showing in the History log.
Fixed - Google Maps - Stopped working.

Upload changes only

TN is changing their system continually. Is there a way to upload changes only?
Thanks

Proscan,
I am having an issue with the recording feature of the software. The program is only recording 2/3 of the day and I am missing random parts of the day. and in some cases I actually don't have any recordings for a number of days on one particular channel.
I am recording predesignated channels that have been selected. I have the option to refer to the data base what channels to record. Im am just confused what option would make this the issue. I have no time limit set on my recording either.

What's the ProScan version you're using?
What's the scanner type?
Is it the same channel that never records or does the channel record some of the time?

 

[JBWayzata]

I am using 6.7 and its a bcd996xt. So its not one channel in particular but it will record like 2/3 of a day and miss 2am to 8am. Or will record some transmissions coming from that channel but not others. I know the scanner is picking them up because I referenced my feed archives and the archives have had the transmissions I was looking for. Since I realized what was going on I have switched to the activity setting and stopped using the "look up record flag from database" option and it seems to be working fine now I am just recording twice the amount of stuff.

Another cool thing you could incorporate into the recording feature is the ability to have it split the recordings up into hours or 6 hour or even 12 hour files so finding the transmissions you are looking for are easier to find after the fact. Not sure if it would be easy to incorporate but I figure I would give the suggestion.

Their is an option "Max. Recording Time" that will do what I think you want. It's in the Options -> Recording.

 

[JBWayzata]

Will max recording time create a new file once the max recording time has been hit. Also does max recording time refer to the amount that is recorded or does that refer to the actual hours during the day that the recordings take place? Such as 12pm - 1am, where their may be only ten minutes of recording during that hour but will save that file and create a new one for the next hour of the day.

Yes. Lets say the Max. Recording Time is set to 10 minutes then after 10 minutes of audio in a recording file, a new file will be created. It's not in relation to the time of the day. Did I answer your question?

 

[JBWayzata]

Yes you answered my question thank you

For those using Malwarebytes: A false positive virus will be detected. Malwarebytes acknowledged the false positive and they advised the detection will be removed in the next database update which should be around midnight I believe. Update the Malwarebytes database tomorrow and then install or if want to use the newest ProScan version now then once the virus detection occurs, restore the quarantine file.
