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.

No, sentinel will hopefully save most of the work for me (1,110 sites in total, hopefully some are duplicates)

Wait a minute...Would you be doing this in ProScan, or Sentinel?

Basically what I have is 4 agencies, all analog spread across multiple sites in a state. I'm intending to put it all under one favourite list, and have each site have its GPS data and frequencies so I dont have to change lists depending on what part of the state I'm in. Essentially I'll be mapping out all the sites for the different agencies (some share towers so that is a little easier) and then assigning the frequencies to the site (anywhere from 1-4 frequencies)

Endgame is to be able to travel anywhere within the state and be on the correct analog channel for good reception, rather than scanning a bunch of frequencies and missing transmissions

I was curious as to whether Proscan had such a feature to make it easier for me or whether I would need to input each site manually. Seeing as it doesn't, I'd have to do the same in both sentinel or proscan so I can get away with not purchasing proscan straight away (although I will eventually)

You need to put each system in, one-at-a-time. But, Regardless of which( ProScan or Sentinel). You can do 'copy n paste'. As you noted about using 'Get Clipboard' in ProScan. What you can do in ProScan is a 'Download From Scanner'. So everything will already be organized in ProScan.

Hello to all-
Quick question... well hopefully. Using a BCD325P2 with ProScan.
Why does ProScan import these as two separate systems? Ok two questions. Could I move the slot 2 talk group to the first system and still receive both transmissions?

155.94750	WRDJ852	RM	CC 1 TG 16777215 SL 1	Valleytown FD 1	Valleytown Fire & Rescue DMR	DMR	Fire Dispatch
155.94750	WRDJ852	RM	CC 1 TG 16777215 SL 2	Valleytown FD 2	Valleytown Fire & Rescue DMR	DMR	Fire Dispatch

Thank You-
Maury

It imports them as two separate conventional listings, which is what they are. If you want to make them into a "system", you'll have to manually create a One Frequency Trunk DMR system instead.

Ok- Got it. I recall that when I did the RR import Proscan created both as One Frequency Trunk DMR systems. I believe I can drag the talk group from one system to the other and that will get me down to one system. Does that seem right to you?

This is what my system looks like:

The TGID number & CC were the same for both systems. The only difference in the two systems was the SL number. I moved the Slot 2 TGID from the second system to this one and deleted the second system.
Do you think this will work correctly?

It should work with no problems.

I am relatively sure this has been brought up before, but being able to set the location to use be able to use Webserver (and RSOIP) in a reverse proxy environment, is a feature I feel the lack of prevents a lot of users from directly sharing their webserver. It's a wonderful feature but for privacy and load balancing/bandwidth concerns it prevents me from sharing it en masse. It also potentially prevents, directly and indirectly, evangelizing Proscan and its features to other potential users. Could you please consider this again for an upcoming release?

Also as an aesthetic side note

I recently did work in this area with an option for the Web Server using https and a Let's Encrypt cert. It will be in the next release. I don't know if it will suit your needs but if you had read the Bug Reporting and Suggestions guidelines and sent me an email, I would of worked with you on this.

I'll be sure to look for it in the next release, and should I see some areas that could benefit from suggestions/improvements I'll be sure to reach out via email.

Thanks

Should work just fine, use case is to run it through a Linode reverse proxy, and being able to grab a cert and use HTTPs would resolve the mixed content warnings that were the issue when using it before. Eager to check out the next release, thanks for the work.

Excuse me if this isn't the correct place or if it has been covered, but I recently had to do a fresh win 10 install and now Proscan won't accept my key (too many installations).
Is there a way to fix this, or do I need to buy it again?

You will probably have top contact Bob for that. FYI in the menubar under tools there is a "Remove Activation" option. I have used this before and have had no licensing issues.

email bob and have him remove the current registered computers from proscan license and you should be able to enter it again.

Yes I looked for that in tools but it didn't show. Forgive my ignorance, but where do I find Bob's email?
Thanks all for the info. Been reading this forum since 2003, Message #2!!
