Proscan is by far my favorite.

ProScan is great. Worth the money. Bob is great with taking feedback and quickly pushing bug fixes. Functionality is great and covers a very wide amount of Uniden scanners.

for your 396XT,
freescan is still around.

I use FreeScan

I have used Freescan for years with great success. It does, admittedly, crash after a few hours on Win 10 but I can live with that unless someone knows a fix. Also, general question, the recording function seems to work fine and I see the recording file destination in the log viewer. The problem is I get no playback. On playback, win Media Player loads but there is no sound. Here's a shot of my recording setup. Any ideas?


Thanks all!

The problem is I get no playback.

Do you have an audio cable between the scanner and the input on the PC?

If it is a 396T then you can download the software that was included in that particular model here.

Uniden | A World Without Wires

Freescan and Proscan are also very capable. I've noticed with Freescan that the 396T will not decode P25 correctly if the scanner has already been programmed. Do a factory reset first before programming with Freescan if there is already programming in the 396T. I don't know if the issue also occurs with a 396XT.

I do and thanks for your help and thoughts on this, much appreciated.

does the computer have more than one audio input ?
