Introduction
ProScan is the preferred choice in Computer Aided Scanning. ProScan is the most technologically advanced, feature rich, and user
friendly computer aided scanning program ever made. What more could be said of ProScan? Professional grade, easy to operate,
powerful, enjoyable experience, simple setup, 1st class support, low cost, free upgrades, etc... ProScan is the leader and top choice
with many innovations and features.
Each major feature is contained in a separate tab for a clean and organized layout.
Many organizations, businesses, government agencies, hobbyists, consultants, semi-professionals, and professionals have chosen
ProScan for their solutions.
System Requirements
• Operating System - Windows 7 SP1 or above.
• Display - Minimum 960 x 720 screen resolution.
• Mouse
• Sound Card - For the Recorder, Source Client, Web Server, and Remote Scanner Over IP (If using the BCD536HP or SDS200
Ethernet connection for audio then a sound card is not needed).
• Internet Connection - For activating ProScan licenses, remote control and streaming using the Source Client, Web Server,
and Remote Scanner Over IP features.
Quick Steps
1. Installing ProScan
2. Change the Scanner Type
3. Communications Serial Port Setup - For transferring data between ProScan and the scanner for logging, uploading &
downloading database, remote control, etc...
4. Opening a Database File (Non-DMA & DMA types of Scanners) or Opening a Favorites Lists with the Favorites Editor (HP types
of Scanners).
5. Audio Setup - Audio for recording, or streaming using the Source Client, Web Server, or Remote Scanner Over IP features.
Installing ProScan
• Download the ProScan zip file from the www.proscan.org web site.
• Extract the zip file.
• Execute the exe setup file and follow the prompts.
• Choose a folder for the install.
Notes
• Any existing configuration, logging, & recording files will be retained after installation.
• On 64 bit systems, If installing in the folder: "\Program Files" or "\Program Files (x86)", The OS will put all the ProScan
generated files (Configuration, Recordings, Logging, etc...) in "\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files
(x86)\ProScan" unless ProScan is elevated to administrative rights.
• ProScan is designed for the Microsoft .NET 4.8 Framework. Your computer should have .NET 4.8 installed and enabled. If for
some reason, the .NET Framework 4.8 is not enabled then go to Windows "Turn Windows features on or off" then ensure the
second item is checked like in this image.
Change the Scanner Type
• Go to Menu --> Scanner Type and choose the type of scanner using with ProScan.
Notes
• Changing the scanner type should be done first before setting the comm port options, general options, or opening a database
file.
• If connecting to a Remote Scanner Over IP server then the scanner type will change automatically upon connection to the
server.
1. If connecting to a scanner port that doubles as a GPS port then a null modem adapter or cable is required. Otherwise use a
RS-232 straight through cable.
1. Go to the scanner menu and find the port options. Some scanners have the port options in the GPS or Location section, other
scanners do not allow configuration.
2. Set the baud rate to the highest baud rate listed.
3. Go to the Menu --> Comm. Port.
4. Set the baud rate to match the scanner baud rate.
5. Set the Port to the same shown in the Windows Device Manager.
ProScan should now be communicating with the scanner's and the virtual display should come to life resembling the scanners
display.
Notes
• If using a BC780XLT, make sure the scanner is in Remote Mode. "RMT" will appear on the scanner display. To turn on
remote mode, press the "E" key on the scanner for 2 seconds.
• A Null Modem adapter or cable's purpose is to reverse pins 2 and 3 (TX and RX). It's needed on scanner ports that double as
GPS ports.
Before data in a database can be uploaded to the scanner or downloaded from the scanner, a database file must be opened.
Before opening a database, make sure the Scanner Type is correct for your model, this will ensure the right database format is used.
Before data in a Favorites list can be written to the scanner or read from the scanner, the Favorites Editor needs to be opened and a
Favorites folder needs to be opened.
Audio Setup
Audio from a sound card is used for the Recorder, Source Client, Web Server, and Remote Scanner Over IP features.
Steps
1. Go to the Audio Control tab then the Recorder, Source Client, Web Server, or Remote Scanner Over IP tab.
2. Select the Input Sound Device. In most cases, this will be the Primary Sound Device which is the 1st item in the selection.
3. Select the Mode Mono or Stereo. It's recommended when streaming to the public, the mode should be mono.
4. Select the Format WAV or MP3. Choice may not appear depending on the type of service.
5. Select the Samples Per Second. A higher number will give better quality but uses more bandwidth. It’s recommended that
this setting be kept at the default setting of 22050.
6. Select the MP3 Bitrate. A higher number will give better quality but uses more bandwidth. It’s recommended that this setting
be kept at the default setting of 16 (mono) or 32 (stereo).
Notes
• Use a stereo audio cable with 1/8 inch connectors on both ends. Connect the audio cable from the scanner Tape Out / Speaker
/ Headphone jack to the computer sound card Line In (light blue) or Mic (pink) jack.
• If using the Source Client feature with the Server Type set to Broadcastify then the Samples Per Second is fixed at 22050 and
the MP3 Bitrate is fixed at 16 (mono) / 32 (stereo).
• Start with the ProScan input level controls. Turn up the connected input (left or right) to 100% and turn down the non-
connected input to 0%.
• Click the Windows Mixer button and go to the Recording side, not the Playback side. Ensure that the input is enabled and set
to 100%. If using a microphone input, then the level control should be turned way down to minimize distortion.
• Tune the scanner to a constant channel such as weather or a control channel frequency. Turn the scanner volume up until you
hear distortion and back off about 10%.
• The audio is set up correctly when the level indicators changes with the audio level. If it doesn’t change then check the
Windows Mixer controls and cables.
• Wi-Fi / Ethernet Audio Gain 15 dB option - It's recommended to turn this option on. The audio from the
scanner is low and this will increase the level to normal range.
Running Multiples Instances Of ProScan
Multiple instances of ProScan can run on the same computer simultaneously depending on resources available such as Comm. Ports
and Sound Cards. Each instance of ProScan must be in its own folder for the options to be unique for each instance.
Steps
1. Create a new folder and copy the contents from an existing ProScan folder to the new folder.
2. Create a desktop shortcut, if desired.
3. Run ProScan from the new folder and change any options such as Scanner Type, Comm. Port, Recording Location, History Log
Location, etc....
History Logging
The History Logging feature logs all the radio activity. The logging will start when there is activity (squelch breaks in conventional
mode or there is talk group activity in trunking mode).
• To change the order of any column, hold down the mouse button while the mouse is over a column header and drag to the
desired position.
• To change the size of a column, move the mouse cursor between any column headers where there is a vertical line (column
separator); the cursor should change to a horizontal line with arrows on each end, then hold down the mouse button and drag
the mouse to the desired size.
DMA scanners: For the scanner UID detection and the ProScan UID logging to work, the scanner Display Unit ID option must be
on.
1. Click the UID Lookup File button. The button is located in the UID Logging tab. The default text editor associated with .txt
files will open the UID Lookup.txt file.
2. See the notes and examples in the UID Lookup.txt file.
3. Close the editor when done.
• UID Before Lookup - UID # or UID text tag from the scanner.
• UID After Lookup (Editable) - This shows text tags from the "UID Lookup.txt" file. Text can be entered in this column by
double clicking the column cell. Useful when copying or moving UID rows to the database or "UID Lookup.txt" file.
• UID Number - HP scanners. The UID number from the scanner.
• Hits - Hits from the "UID Hits.txt" file.
• Duration - Total time of UID.
• System / Site - DMA scanners: Shows the site. HP scanners: Shows the system & site.
• Start Date / Time - Time when UID first logged.
• End Date / Time - Time when UID last detected.
UID Grid reordering and resizing Columns
• To change the order of any column, hold down the mouse button while the mouse is over a column header and drag to the
desired position.
• To change the size of a column, move the mouse cursor between any column headers where there is a vertical line (column
separator); the cursor should change to a horizontal line with arrows on each end, then hold down the mouse button and drag
the mouse to the desired size.
• Each UID New Row - If unchecked and a match is found, then the existing rows will update. If checked then each UID will
log to a new row.
• Active Row In View - When checked then the active rows will scroll into view.
• Text Tag Lookup File - Clicking this button will launch the default text editor associated with ".txt" files and open the "UID
Lookup.txt" file.
DMA scanners - Programming a UID in the scanner or in the ProScan database is just like programming a TGID channel
except the TGID is prepended with a lower case "i". Upload to the scanner after making changes to the database.
HP scanners - Programming a UID in the scanner is done at the system level in Unit ID section. Write the favorites lists to the
scanner after making changes to the favorites lists.

Playback Steps
• Select one or more rows or recordings. To select a row, click the left mouse button on the far left column of the row. To
select more then one row, hold the Ctrl key and left click another row. To select several rows in order, hold down the
Shift key and left click the last row to be selected.
• Click Play. For Fast Forwarding or Reversing use the Left, Right, Home, and End keys or use the mouse to drag the green
control to the desired position. The Next button starts the next playback that's selected.
Note The file names can be edited. First turn off the recorder, then double click the File name and start editing. The grid file
name may change to a color other then white indicating the following:
Recorder Grid
Each row of the grid represents a recording. They may have various background colors
Recorder Tab Options
• Each Transmission New Row - If unchecked and a match is found, then the existing recording will update with the
new End Date / Time. If checked, then the recording will create a new row.
• Active Row In View - When checked then the active recording will scroll into view.
• Activity - The recorder will activate when there is activity (squelch breaks in conventional mode or there is talk group
activity in trunking mode).
• Skip Silence - The recorder will not record if silence is detected in the In Activity mode.
• Lookup Record Flag From Database - Uses the recording flag in the database to determine if certain systems,
frequencies, or talk groups should record. This option applies to mobile/base units only and not portables.
• Non-DMA Scanners – If the scanner is in conventional search mode (Chain Search, Limit Search, Service Search,
Weather Search), the recorder will turn on if the Radio Wide Settings record box is checked. If the scanner is in
Trunking search mode, the recorder will turn on if the Trunk Bank Settings trunking type is set and the record box
is checked. In the scanner scan modes, the recorder will turn on if the channel or talk group ID record box is
checked.
• DMA Scanners – The recorder will turn on if the scanner receives a Close Call or Quick Search and the general
Search Option record is set. WX Scan will record if the Weather / FPS record is set. Service Search, Custom Search,
and Tone Out will record if the record box is checked in the appropriate grid. Scanning systems, the system / group
/ channel record flag must be checked.
• VOX - An alternative recording mode that's not dependent on the scanner activity but depends on the audio level above
the VOX Threshold level.
• Skip Silence Threshold - For the Activity mode and when the Skip Silence option is on. Adjust the Skip Silence
Threshold until the green light turns on when audio is present and off when no audio is present.
• VOX Threshold - For the VOX mode. Adjust the VOX Threshold until the green light turns on when audio is present and
off when no audio is present.
• Green Light - Illuminates when the audio is at the threshold adjustment.
• Red Light - Indicates that the audio is being recorded. The red light turns on when the green light turns on at the start
of audio detection and turns off after a 1 second delay when audio is no longer present. This assures that no audio would
be lost during the recording if there is an audio pause.
Recording files can be text tagged to show various information depending on the Custom Formatter set in the Options ->
Recording Text Tags tab. They will show in the media player, if supported, during playback. They don't change per recording.
MP3 files can also display synchronized text tags (Lyrics) during playback. They do change per recording. A media player
plugin is required to show the synchronized text tags.
An excellent plugin is MiniLyrics. It works with Winamp, Windows Media Player, VLC, iTunes, etc. MiniLyrics
The ProScan built in player doesn't support text tags or synchronized text tags. Must use an external player.
Non-DMA Database
For the BC250D, BC296D, BC780XLT, BC785D, and BC796D scanners.
• ProScan Non-DMA (BC796D, BC785D, BC780XLT, BC296D, BC250D) - Imports data from another ProScan
database file. Choice of importing all or partial data.

• An extra 100 channels is added to the database for the bank 11 scratch pad.
• If the scanner type is only 500 channels and you attempt to open a 1000 channel database, then a message will appear
advising you to create a new database and import from the original database.
• Once data is in the database from downloading, manual entry, or importing, the database must be saved to prevent loss
of data.
• A database file can open automatically when the program starts. Go to the Menu --> Options --> Start-up. Check the
"Load Database" box.
• Rows are defined as the horizontal components on the grids.
• Columns are defined as the vertical components of the grids.
• When a row is moved or deleted, the actual row is not deleted, only the data is deleted and defaults are created.
Example - Frequency column will show "0000.0000".
These Database operations buttons are located in the Database tab on the right side.
Scanner Settings
These settings are located in the Radio Wide Settings Tab. Any changes made are automatically uploaded to the scanner with
the exception of the FIPS Codes that need to be uploaded manually.
DMA Database
For the BCT15, BCT15X, BR330T, BC346XT, BC346XTC, BCD325P2, BCD396T, BCD396XT, BCD996T, BCD996XT, and
BCD996P2 scanners.
For the BCD436HP, BCD536HP, SDS100, & SDS200 scanners, the database is called the Favorites Editor. Ensure the scanner is
in Mass Storage mode.
• ProScan DMA (BCT15, BCT15X, BR330T, BC346XT, BC346XTC, BCD325P2, BCD396T, BCD396XT, BCD996T,

of data.
• A database file can open automatically when the program starts. Go to the Menu --> Options --> Start Up tab. Check
the "Load Database" box.
• Rows are defined as the horizontal components on the grids.
• Columns are defined as the vertical components of the grids.
• After an upload, if any errors show in the Error then a text file is created Upload Errors.txt. Read it for the reason, the
most common reason is the scanner out of resources due to too many systems, groups, or channels for the scanner.
Treeview
The Treeview is the object to the left in the Database Tab --> Systems . The treeview displays the system, group, and
channel names on the left side. The system type is displayed in the middle. The SQK is the System/Site quick key. On trunking
systems, the lowest SQK number is displayed at the system level. The Freq's show the number of frequencies contained in the
system. TGID's show the number of Talk Groups contained in the system.
The Nodes in the Treeview can be dragged with the Mouse or Copy & Paste. When dragging, the nodes can be moved or
copied. To Move, select the nodes with the mouse and left click the mouse button and drag them to desired location. To Copy,
right click the mouse and drag them to location. The nodes can also be copied to other instances of ProScan.
Source Client
The Source Client feature streams real time audio to Broadcastify, IceCast, and Shoutcast servers. Source Client can replace
Edcast/Oddcast and SimpleCast types of programs. If you are a Broadcastify stream provider then the Source Client can be
configured automatically.
Before connecting the Source Client, check the audio format options in the Audio Control --> Source Client tab. See the
Audio Setup section
If streaming Text Tags then the Metadata Source must be set up. See the Metadata section
Ensure you're not using AVG Anti-Virus software as that will interrupt TCP traffic.
If using the BCD536HP Wi-Fi, click the URL Audio Setup button and see if excessive Packet Loss shows in the dialog. Wi-Fi
interference or a flaky Dongle could cause excessive packet loss. Move the dongle and scanner to another location to see if the
packet loss decreases.
Remote Control
Log in as "Serve Scanner Control Mode" or "Super User". The virtual scanner will show and the keypad is fully functional.
Steps
• Get the Web Server to work locally.
• In the Web Server Server Port box, choose a port number from 1 to 65535.
• Start the Web Server. If the port is in use then a message will appear, advising to use another port.
• If your computer has a firewall running, ProScan must be added to the firewall exception list. The firewall software
may show a prompt asking for your permission to allow ProScan in the exemption list.
• Using your favorite web browser, in the URL area, put in the computer address followed by a colon and port
number. Example 192.168.1.4:5000
If the browser fails to connect with the Web Server, troubleshoot before continuing.
• Get the Web Server to work remotely.
• Configure your router to allow incoming TCP connections. Log in to the router and look for a section called Port
Forwarding, NAT, Applications, or Port Routing. Consult your router manual. Enter 1) server port number, 2) TCP
(or TCP and UDP), 3) the computer IP address of the computer running the server.
• Using your favorite web browser, in the URL area, put in the outside address followed by a colon and port number.
Example 71.165.76.211:5000
If the browser fails to connect with the Web Server, troubleshoot before continuing.
• Use a free DNS service. For those with a dynamic IP address, it may change periodically. It's recommended that you
use a free DNS service such as noip.com so you can choose a name that never will change.
• Using your favorite web browser, in the URL area, put in the no ip address followed by a colon character and port
number. Example proscan.dyndns.org:5000
The server running in Secure mode will prevent the web browsers from showing not secure (in the URL area). It also
encrypts the web traffic from the ProScan Web Server to the web browsers.
When starting ProScan Web Server in the Secure mode, it will look for a certificate file named 'letsencrypt.pfx' in the ProScan
application folder. If missing or expired then a message will appear and the web server will not start until corrected.
It's recommended to backup the certificate ('letsencrypt.pfx') and account key ('letsencrypt.key') files to another location.
Troubleshooting
To test if the Web Server can be seen from the outside, start the Web Server then go to canyouseeme.org. Enter the same
port that you have in the Server Port box. If the web site does not see the Web Server, then that must be resolved first. Try
connecting with the browser on the same computer with the Local IP address in the browser, If it does not work, that must be
resolved. Enter in the outside IP address in the browser. If it does not work that must be resolved.
Notes
• Web Server works best with Chrome. If the Web Server page doesn't work correctly, try the latest version of your
favorite browser.
• JavaScript should be enabled in the browser for some of the features of Web Server to work.
• The remote audio playback may have slight delay due to the Media Players built in buffering.
• URL can be directly entered in Media Players. If an audio stream is password protected, use this format. Example:
proscan.dyndns.org/stream mypassword. On a few media players, spaces may not be allowed so use + in place of
a space. Example: proscan.dyndns.org/stream+mypassword
Metadata Setup
The Metadata is for the Source Client and Web Server features. It is text embedded in the audio stream. Not all media players
support Metadata. Windows Media Player does not support Metadata, WinAmp & iTunes do. Metadata can come from the
scanner, another program (or another instance of ProScan), a file, or a program that puts descriptive information such as the
channel name in the title / caption bar of that program.
Select the Source Client / Web Server tab and click the Metadata Source button.
Metadata Source
Metadata Options
• Scanner - Select this if you want the Metadata to come from the scanner. The scanner must be communicating with
ProScan. See the Communications Serial Port Setup section.
• Custom Format - Custom Format - See below.
• Text To Show During Scanning - If checked then this text will appear when the scanner is scanning. If
unchecked then the last transmission Metadata will appear.
• Another Program - Caption (Selected In Grid Below) - Select this if you want the Metadata to come from another
program that's capable of putting channel information in the caption / title bar area such as another instance of ProScan.
• Grid - Click the grid row containing the program that you want the Metadata to come from.
• File - Select this If you want the Metadata to come from a file. All text in the file will stream.
• Select File - Click to choose a file.
• None - Disables Metadata from streaming.
Click the OK button when finished setting up the Metadata. The Metadata will show in both the Source Client and Web Server
tabs next to the Metadata Source buttons.
Custom Format
The Metadata can be customized using the Custom Format Specifiers. See the Custom Format Specifiers in the top right area
of the dialog. The Custom Format Specifiers may show differently depending on the type of scanner. An example: The Custom
Format box contains the text My City - %C- %TF This will show as My City - Montclair FD - 004240.
Remote Scanner Over IP
Remote Scanner Over IP or RSOIP is for Remote Control of the scanner including Downloading & Uploading the database,
Logging, and Recording.
RSOIP Featured
• Unlimited servers and or clients can run on the same computer depending on the resources such as serial ports,
memory, and bandwidth.
• Servers can accept unlimited amounts of clients depending on the bandwidth.
• Low latency data / audio streaming.
• Stream MP3 or G729 format.
• No external software needed.
• One port for both the data and audio.
• Server can send messages to clients.
• Server "Hot Event" messages to inform the listeners of anything of importance or specific activity (Pursuits, fire, etc...).
• Clients display real time published server list.
• Clients show the display as if you are at the scanner.
• Client audio recorder.
• Client history logging.
• Client proxy support.
• Status logging of connections.
RSOIP has two modes, Server and Client. The scanner side is the Server and the far location is the Client side. The client can
connect in a monitor only mode or full control if the password is known.
Control Client
All scanner operations can be done remotely such as uploading & downloading, controlling scanner, adjusting volume and
squelch (newer scanner models). A password is required for this mode.
Monitor Client
Monitor Clients can not control the scanner, only view and listen to the remote scanners. Password box should be blank.
Notes
• For the clients to connect to the server, the clients need to know the server IP address or name. Click the "Get My IP" button
will show your IP as seen from the outside world.
Server Troubleshooting To test if the RSOIP Server can be seen from the outside, start the RSOIP Server then go to
canyouseeme.org. Enter the same port that you have in the Server Port box. If the website does not see the RSOIP Server
then that must be resolved first.
Try using RSOIP in Client mode on the same computer as the Server and use the local IP address to narrow down the problem.
Notes
The password for each server is controlled by the server operator.
A Hot Event will show in red on the grid and on the Status Logging box.
A message from the server will show in yellow on the Status Logging box.
The Status Logging box logs the state of connections on the server & client sides. This information is logged to a file named
"Scanner Over IP Log.txt". Once this file reaches one megabyte in size, it will clear.
Tip Double click anywhere on a row in the grid and the boxes will fill in with the server information from the grid.
Band Scope
Band Scope is a tool that can check the antenna performance, coax quality, coverage areas, interference, etc.
Band Scope works with the BCT15, BCT15X, BC346XT, BC346XTC, BCD325P2, BCD396T, BCD396XT, BCD996T, BCD996XT,
and BCD996P2 scanners

RRDB Differences
This function supports the DMA, BCDx36HP, & SDSx00 type of scanners.
It works with imported RRDB (RadioReference DataBase) systems on version 21 and above.
Note: 'Verifying the RRDB matches the ProScan/scanner data after a U/L and D/L'
DMA type of scanners processes the data as soon as it's uploaded. if a frequency is off step, the scanner will change the
frequency to the nearest step.
The BCDx36HP and SDSx00 does not process the data after writing to the scanner and does not process the data when loading
the favorites list after a power cycle. It seems that it will only process the data if changing a system option to a temporary
value then back to the original value.
DMA scanners
If the button is not visible or is not enabled then that means that the system wasn't imported from the RRDB or it was
imported from the RRDB prior to version 21.
Operation
• Click the 'RRDB Differences' button.
• After the RRDB Differences window loads, click the 'Get RR Data' button.
• An automatic RRDB login is performed using the same RRDB login credentials from the Import RR window. If an error
occurs logging in then go into the Import RadioReference window and check your credentials.
• After the Differences tree loads, scroll down and look for rows with colors indicating a difference.
• Execute Add - Adds groups & channels from the RRDB to the ProScan database if they are not in the ProScan database.
• Execute Delete - Delete groups & channels from the ProScan database if they are not in the RRDB.
• Execute Replace - Replaces only the parameters that are different. This will never replace text tags or locations lat &
lng.
• Execute All - Add, Delete, & Replace all in one operation.
RRDB Import.txt file This is a very important file. It should never be deleted. It links the RRDB systems &
groups/sites to the ProScan systems & groups/sites.
If importing a database file from one instance to another instance then the contents of this file in the original
instance should be appended to the other instance RRDB Import.txt file. Stop ProScan on both instances before
appending.
Shortcuts
The Shortcuts feature is located in the Scanner Control box which is located in the upper right corner of the main window. Click
the box labeled "SC" then the Shortcuts button will appear. Click the Shortcuts button to show the items in the Shortcuts file.
To close the Shortcuts list, click the Shortcuts button or hit the Esc key. Select an item then double click the item or hit the
Enter key for the item to execute. The "Edit Shortcuts" item (first item in the list) will load your default text editor and the
"Shortcuts.txt" file will load. Be sure to save the file after editing.
See the notes and the examples/usage in the "Shortcuts.txt" file. If the Hotkey is prepended with the letter "G", that means
the hotkey is global or system-wide. Don't use global hotkeys that are used by Windows or other applications. View the
shortcuts list after the file has been edited for hotkey assignment errors. If an "in use" error, that means Windows or another
application already has taken that hotkey so choose another global hotkey.

Misc. Files
If you have a bug, it can be reported via email or RadioReference. The advantage of email is if I can not reproduce the bug, I'll
send you production quality files with additional debug logging to help fix the bug and the person reporting the bug will get the
fix sooner than waiting for the next release.
If you have suggestions, they can be sent via email or RadioReference. The advantage of email is I can ask additional
questions to make sure the suggestion is done right and send you the latest ProScan file with the suggestion implemented.
Q: I can't control the scanner when I'm connected to a Remote Scanner Over IP server.
A: If you were given a password by the Server operator then you can control the scanner. If you don't have a password, then
you can monitor only.
Q: Do I need to purchase a ProScan license for this feature to work in the demo mode?
A: No. The 30 day demo / trial is 100% fully functional.
Q: Can you do a version for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, Raspberry Pi, Linux, etc.?
A: No. It would take several years to do each and I would rather spend the time on ProScan & RadioFeed.
Q: When using the Web Server, the text tags don't appear in sync with the audio.
A: The audio player network / latency buffer delays the audio. To compensate, the Web Page has an option "Display &
Metadata Delay". Change it to the amount of audio delay so the text tags and display on the Web Page are in sync with the
audio. You may have to experiment to get it right. If using an external player, the Player may have an option to decrease the
amount of delay. Search on-line for your type of media player to see if the network / latency buffering can be changed and
how to change it. WinAmp (desktop) version seems to have the best latency that's about 3 seconds.
Q: How can I transfer a ProScan license from my old computer to a new computer?
A: On the old computer, go to the Tools menu then click on Remove Activation. Now the new computer can be activated by
going to the Tools menu then click on Enter Registration Key.
Q: Can I move the license to a new computer if the old computer was destroyed by, let's say, a hurricane?
A: If the old computer is no longer working, then send an email to [email protected].
Q: Do I need to use Sentinel or the ProScan Favorites Editor for programming for the BCDx36HP and SDSx00
series scanners?
A: Sentinel is needed for firmware updates. It's also needed for accessing the full HPDB (Uniden DB) (updated weekly for free)
which is derived from the RRDB (Radio Reference DB). If you're a Premium Radio Reference Subscriber, you can import
directly from the RRDB in real time. Sentinel is needed for Profile editing. ProScan doesn't have a profile editor as it would be
100% duplication that couldn't be improved on.
ProScan has extra capabilities that I don't believe Sentinel has such as:
• Multiple Favorites on the same tree which makes it easy to Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop systems
• Find Duplicates utility
• Find & Replace utility
• Update Text Tags utility
• Import directly from RRDB. RadioReference subscription required
• Import from the Win Clipboard or from a RR web page. No RadioReference subscription required
• Versatile Sorting options
• Google Maps showing all the systems with circles or rectangles
• Export nicely formatted web page showing any or all (user selectable) FQK's, SQK's, Number Tags, and systems
• Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop nodes to other systems and other ProScan instances
• SDS200 FTP Read & Write using the Ethernet connection
• View the differences between ProScan and the Scanner favorites when writing and reading to and from the scanner
• Modify Uniden (HPDB) Database utility
• System type change in one step
Q: I'm using the Source Client feature to stream audio to Broadcastify. I'm experiencing intermittent dropped
connections.
A: Intermittent connections could be caused by your computer, NIC card, cables, router, ISP, far end, etc. It has been
suggested by a few users to use a tool called PingPlotter to isolate where the problem is.
Ensure you're not using AVG Anti-Virus software as that will interrupt TCP traffic.
If using the BCD536HP Wi-Fi, click the URL Audio Setup button and see if excessive Packet Loss shows in the dialog. Wi-Fi
interference or a flaky Dongle could cause excessive packet loss. Move the dongle and scanner to another location to see if the
packet loss decreases.
Q: I'm trying to use the Recorder to record to a network drive. When ProScan is elevated to Admin., I don't see
the network drive when I hit the Recordings Location button.
A: The Registry needs an entry. See the section "To configure the EnableLinkedConnections registry value" in this link near the
bottom EnableLinkedConnections registry value
