Hello Assaf,

Thanks for the .9G.  I downloaded it and it works great.. I cannot say anything about using RR.com with this as I am not a paying member of RR.com so I cannot download from RR.com using EZ-Grab!

I love the RID logger.  However, right away I noticed that all the RIDs that I have assigned names do not show in the logger.  E.g, say, RID i103 is assigned the name "Joe Dispatcher".  Every time i103 is on, "Joe Dispatcher" appears on my screen instead of  "i103".

FreeSCAN 0.9G does not log in i103 or "Joe Dispatcher" whenever this RID is transmitting.

Maybe I am doing something wrong? Assaf.

Thanks again for great and neat stuff!

So are you talking about the Radio ID tracker? It will log IDs that pop up on the screen such as "UID:i12345". So if it doesn't pop up it doesn't get logged. Currently there is no other method of determining the current ID other then screen scraping. But I see this as a benefit, since this way it frees the Radio ID tracker from logging ID's you already know about.

I *think* where he's going is to have i15305 aliased (or named) as East Dispatcher (my friend joe/whatever) have THAT show up in the log rather than the i15305.

 

You are right, Tom,

I would like at least the RID number to show up if I had to have only one, so that I can know, if in fact, a particular unit id was at least on the air in given period of time..  I like to assign aliases because I have a few friends in the poh-leece force.

I guess I want too much info, like on my home cordless phone.. it shows the caller's name AND the caller's phone number.

Assaf, maybe the column you have for comment could be used for the alias? Asking for too much?  Whatever, FreeSCAN is getting better and better.

Thanks.

Well I am going to try and reproduce this to get an idea of what you are talking about. I think the ones you already programmed should pop up with the alias in the linear log.

By the way, you can use Ez-Grab without having to be a paid subscriber to RR. The subscription is only if you want to use the web service import to bring in data.

I was able to verify this enhancement. Thanks...

For the radio IDs, just check to make sure you have the latest firmware, and goto Settings * Disp Unit ID on the scanner's front panel to enable it. You can turn off the automatic sorting in the download dialog box by selecting the freescan menu and then clearing where it says "Auto sort system list". Hope that helps.

Yes, Assaf, I can use Ez-Grab merely by copying a table from Excel, and then turn off or on the ignore/other switches.  Works very good.  I can also copy from RR.com and do the same... 

Great stuff.. Ez-Grab is.

Working great for me on XP so far with a 396XT with latest firmware.

Tested before and after the firmware update too, all was well both ways.  All the AGC errors went away and it appears to program the AGC the way I set it in the software now too...didn't used to.

I don't have much activity for digital so I'm really unsure if the unit ID thing is fully working, but there are no errors at all using FreeScan.

Nice job.

Glad to hear everything is working.

Building a new conventional p25 sytem as per Upman's site, I was in the one frequency trunking to establish the listing of portable and mobiles on our local p25 poh-leece and fire and when I attemped to sroll down the "add and delete" icons go away.  just letting you know.  ps I am using .9G

Also I noticed I have to go into the radio and manually go into that system every time after I upload and turn on the "search" option un the P25 NAC Option.  I don't see it in the .9g software.

Thank you for all the work you do!  Its greatly appreciated

sorry forgot to add:  396xt 1.08 firmware .9G FreeSCAN windows XP sp3

Ok so the add and delete icons.. I take it you mean the ones that appear when you edit TGID groups???

You can turn on NAC search by entering SRCH in the NAC field.

yes the TGID edit for the P25 One freq trunk system screen.

And No it appears the toggle needs to be on the Trunked system setup in the P25 One freq trunk system,  On the scanner its self you have to go menue=> edit sys option=>P25 NAC Option  I hope this helps

   Assaf,

1.  How do you start a new thread?  This is why I am just "replying" to this thread.
2.  Here is my question:

Using .9G:

I want to copy from one group  (e.g. cf capture1 snipping) by highlighting all the columns.  (Note NAC is in column 10).

Then I go and form a new group elsewhere and want to use EZ-Grab! but get only 9 columns, (cf Capture2 snipping). I want to have the NAC column included.

Is there an option I do not know of that expands the number of columns EZ-Grab! can have?

Thanks.

Thanks

You can just paste directly, no need to use EZ Grab if you are copying within the program.
