Glad it was helpful! It is a real must-have addition to any of the uniden scanners Bob. It adds so much functionality.

Yeah, it is a great program Frank. I run the web server, so I can monitor from the office. Very cool set of features, and the price is great. Not to mention, it makes programming the scanner a hella easier than from the panel! Thanks for watching!

the 200e can't decode Tetra wishful thinking.

Makes that SDS-100 even sexier! I am pretty sure it works on the Home Patrol ones as well.

It is! It really helps you use the scanner, and adds some neat features.

Appreciate it brother!

I bought the program myself, it wasn't provided for me, so not a commercial. I have no arrangements with Proscan at all (they don't know me from Adam's housecat). It does allow you to EASILY do a lot of things with the scanner, that are mostly possible, but extremely tedious from the front panel. It makes the scanner a lot more useful. Thanks for watching!

Radioreference.com has a lot of that kind of information. I managed the radios for our department, so I knew all the tones. For us, we just had a tone on tx and rx (like the other departments in the county as well). Different tone for each dept. I wouldn't call dispatch, call your radio guys. Most scanners will respect tones just like the radios do, so you can program the scanner to only break squelch on your dept. I have a 996P2, that I had our dept in, with tones, and would have it alert and flash red when we got paged. Most HT's will decode 2-tone or 5-tone sequences as well.

Welcome!

Parallels - when I moved to mac, I migrated my entire windows machine over to that on the Mac, and it works very well.

You have to grow your own crystals too, I'm sure.

Off the top of my head - you are probably point the wrong input into proscan. scanner out to the aux or mic in; then adjust the volume on the scanner. look at what input proscan is using.

The secret is how much more useful it makes tweaking and programming the scanner. Especially for P25 trunk stuff. It really makes the scanner's abilities shine, IMO.

Can't believe I didn't either. www.proscan.org/

Yeah, I feel your pain. Not that I'm aware of. Our local public safety system - dispatch blows the doors off, and you can barely hear the officers.

I'm not sure I understand your question? Broadcastify is great for listening to stuff outside your area, but it won't scan at all.

When I made this, I was using a 2012 model Mac Pro, and the virtuialization software is Parallels. Still the best on the Mac OS platform for that sort of thing. I ran a windows VM in it daily (usually always on).

Jorden, I can't tell you one way or the other, really, as I don't have either one. However, here's where you need to do some research. I have a 996P2 (P25, trunking, etc), and I have an SDS-100 (ditto). The simulcast multipath rejection on the SDS100 is top-notch! Much better than the 996P2. I've read/watched several sources that indicate that is a factor. I assume that the SDS200 has the same multipath discretion as the 100. Where I live, the county has a P25 P2 system, with multiple towers (Simulcast). That can be a real pain, and you will end up dropping calls, unless your scanner can delineate between which tower is which. So - that may or not be a thing for you, but that is a key factor to me. I just don't know how well the 536 can handle simulcast. That is really the smoking gun of how well a scanner performs. My .02. Good luck, and thanks for watching!

Enrique, the 996 can change the backlight color, based on some parameters. I can't remember if you can set that from the front (maybe?), but I use Proscan, which let's me set the LED to change a few colors based on what channel or frequency has traffic. I have the local fire department flash red on activity.

@@FEPLabsRadio Thanks soo much
