Hi all,
I currently have a Broadcastify feed and would like to use the SDS200 for it. The scanner will of course be able to be used for regular listening as well as I would never use this scanner for feed only purposes. What I am looking for is a tutorial on how to set it up. I know the Ethernet feature allows for audio pass through, however, I am wondering how it connect to the PC. I have read that PROSCAN (Radio Feed) is the best option as far as software as concern. Does the scanner connect to the PC using the Micro USB or the USB A connector? I have not ventured into the Raspberry Pi, however, may consider that in the future. Any help/links would be appreciated. I have checked Youtube and searched around with no luck.
Using my free RadioFeed or paid ProScan with the SDS200 LAN connects with an Ethernet cable connected to your router.
Very basic steps are:
1. Set up RadioFeed or ProScan to communicate with the scanner.
1a. Set the scanner type to SDS200.
1b. Set the Comm. Port to URL then click the URL Setup button. Enter in the scanner IP address. The scanner LAN Settings needs to be setup beforehand.
1c. Select the audio Source Client tab then click the URL Setup button . Enter in the scanner IP address.
1d. Once RadioFeed or ProScan is communicating with the scanner, go to step 2.
2. Setup RadioFeed or ProScan to communicate with the Broadcastify server.
2a. Go to the Source Client tab then choose Broadcastify for the Server Type.
2b. Click the Broadcastify Auto Config. button. Enter in user name & password. Hit the connect button. Hit the Set button.
2c. Click the Connect button.
