Good evening,
I just recived a SDS200 and I'm trying to change my feed radio from the 15x to the SDS200. I've looked everywhere (at least I think everywhere) and cant find the setting to switch the speaker jack to a record out jack. Where can I find this setting?

Are you referring to a setting in software and if so, what software? The SDS200 doesn't have a record jack. It has an external speaker jack plus audio over the LAN connection.

I was told I can use the headphone jack as a record out jack like the BCD325P2 does. I would like to listen to the sds200 through the speakers and have the selected channels (marked w/ record in proscan) go to radio feed via a speaker jack

That's for if using the Recorder. If not using the Recorder then you don't need to do anything with this.

I don't use the headphone jack but doing so may invite problems such as a 60 cycle hum produced from a ground loop. If you do get the hum then you will need an audio isolation transformer. You will also need a stereo cable since the jack is stereo. The mono signal is tied to the left & right channels internally. Other problems such as audio bleed-over, impedance mismatch, mic input too hot, etc.

Since the SDS200 has an Ethernet connection and ProScan(and my free RadioFeed) supports that, the audio will be crystal crystal due to the audio digital signal all the way from the scanner to ProScan.

To hear audio out of the computer speaker, go to the Audio Control - Monitor & Test tab then choose the audio service using then check the Loopback box. If not using an audio service then just pick any.

Ok. I'm assuming I cant choose what channels go to the stream if I did the ethernet connection?

I was just going to say what nessnet said.

You can block certain channels from going to Broadcastify. Go to the Source Client tab then click the Broadcast Lockout button. See the comments in the text file.

In proscan you can use Broadcast Lockout if you do NOT want a broadcast certain channels to Broadcastify. And now see Bob already stated this...LOL
