For those who used the quick-look beta a few weeks ago, the setup files are still likely on your drive but are in a different format now. If you can okay through the error prompts, delete all the feeds in every bank you have set up, SAVE THEM, and restart and then add the feeds back. If that doesn't fix, let me know.

For those too anxious to wait for the user guide, here's a little tidbit on how to use the squelch setting (ONLY NEEDED if you have a feed that the scanning "sticks" on)

Currently the software takes the lowest volume ever heard and
multiplies it by 3-7x depending on what that initial number is. Min
autosquelch is 250. It can be seen when Feed Stats are active:

Low - Current - High - Squelch

If you have a stuck feed, that means the lowest ever heard is a LOT lower
than the "average" (usually due to a hum.) So let's say you see the low
volume of 300, but as you listen you can hear a hum and the "current" is at
an average volume of 1200. The squelch is probably going to be set at 1000
by the automatic routine, so you'll be stuck on that feed. Since you notice
it's normally at 1200, you can set the squelch for say 1500 and you'll be
fine.

Too low and it sticks. Too high and you'll never stop scanning on that
channel. But don't worry about being TOO too high unless you start setting a
squelch of 10000. For most feeds, anything under 2000 is fine. But it's all
relative, and once you have it set (and I have the save routine) you are
done and will never set it again. If you have a feed that's very quiet (i.e.
I'm listening to KSC and the average volume is 3) you can even go lower than
250, I have that one set to 25.

If you mess up and want to start over, enter "-1" and the autosquelch will
do its thing again. Autosquelch rechecks every 1/10th of a second, but if
you manually set a squelch then it's there til you change it.

I deleted the previous quick look beta, when I run the current version, the KSC feed shows up in position one, is that the one I should delete? If so, how do I delete it?

Right-click over the feed and delete. Then save, restart, and you should be good to go. Even when uninstalling the previous beta, the config files were left behind (I hadn't planned on changing their format.)

The only selections that come up when I right click on the KSC feed are priority and set squelch. Don't see any option to delete the feed, are you referencing the paid registered version? (which I want to get!)

OK, I see the delete now, but I delete the KSC feed, exit the program after saving the config when prompted, when I restart the program, the KSC feed is still there, and I get the error msg as well still.

Ahh - forgot you are using the trial version. Go to either

c:\users\[your name]\AppData\Roaming\ScannerLive
or
c:\documents and settings\[your name]\ApplicationData\ScannerLive

and delete the SL-bank1.txt file

I am running the Beta Version of Scanner Live. I was able to Register with the Keycode you sent in email. I am running Windows Vista 32 Bit. I have minimized the Application while scanning - it disappeared. It is not in the System Tray ......It is not in the Taskbar ......When I do Task Manager it doesnt show up as a Running Program - but does show up in the Services. If I launch a new Instance - it is not running. I still hear all of my feeds playing on the computer ....I just cannot recover the Application to control or change it.
