BCD996P2: Uniden BCD996P2 Quick Key Issue

[109heavystatic]

Scanning a mix of conventional and trunked system. I have a conventional system in assigned to SQK 5 - in it are 2 GQK. When I turn all other systems off and leave 5 on, it shows "Nothing to scan". I have triple checked that nothing is on lock out. I am at a loss. Any ideas?

FIXED. Turns out Uniden or Proscan doesnt like the "/" in a system name. Hopes this helps someone else.

"/" should not matter in a system name, but it cannot be included in the file name for the system.

I think its a bug within Proscan. I am going to contact Bob Aune.

I have used "/" in system names using ARC-XT for a BCD996P2 and never had a problem. The underscore character is acceptable in filenames.

It must be a Proscan issue because Freescan allows you to use / with no issue.

Would you send me a Bug Report. Attach your database file if you can. Describe the steps you're using so I can try to reproduce the bug.
I'll look at it early next week.

[ProScan]

Proscan doesnt like the "/" in a system name.

How are you determining that ProScan does'nt like the "/" in a system name?

It must be a Proscan issue because Freescan allows you to use / with no issue.

I'm not seeing the relationship between the system name and turning on or off SQKs.

I didn't get a Bug Report yet so it's impossible to determine where the problem is without sending test files. I do know that in ProScan, the "/" character and all special characters that the scanner accepts can be inputted and uploaded/downloaded with the "/" character in the names. ProScan doesn't determine a specific action based on the characters in the names.

I was not the original poster of the issue. I was stating an observation due to the fact that Freescan does not duplicate the issue with the / in the System Name. I was not trying to downplay your software. Sorry if you took it that way. I have never used Proscan before.

Just saw this message. When I used / in a system name, quick keys acted like it was an empty system. When I removed it, issue was resolved. I’ll send over my database file so you can look at it.
