96 pro software

Removed checks for 12 characters when entering alpha tags. Win96 will still truncate or pad each entry to 12 characters, but no error messages will be issued if more characters are entered.

Fixed some data-saving code when leaving some of the search ranges? Baltimore, MD in the County drop-down list. This should not normally be changed by the user, and is only provided in case the URL changes in the future. You have to manually edit the WIN INI file directly to enable this feature. After running version 1. INI file. Subsequent runs of Win96 will beep when you toggle check box items in the grids. On Windows 95, 98, and Me, you merely get a tone for the checked state - the unchecked state is silent.

In the RadioReference Web Import, added counts of selected channels and talkgroups to the display. Instead of repeatedly hitting a letter key to get to the item you want, you can also type the first few letters of the item's name. Note that this will be used for any given tag individually if you select either "Display" or "description", and the result of your selection is a blank tag.

When such inconsistencies are found, you'll be prompted with an error message. The message will usually suggest that you report the problem to RadioReference. If it's possible to continue even with the error e. This would allow you, for example, to bring in trunking information and channels even if the database contains no talkgroup info. Previously, the IMPORT function would do nothing if you didn't have both sites and talkgroup "groups" in the tree of system data.

This could manifest itself in many ways. For example, Win96 would tell you that Colorado contains no counties.

If this option is selected, only the first occurrence of a particular frequency will be imported. No trunking data will be transferred, and the channels will be set to FM.

Win96 will now detect this and fix it on the fly. This is a first cut of this feature, and it will likely change in the near future based on user comments.

Note: you must be a contributing member of the RadioReference site to use this feature. It was inadvertently removed in the 1. PRO backlight control. Note that the backlight timeout for the PRO must now be a multiple of 4 any existing files will have their values "adjusted" automatically. Also, any existing files that currently have backlight timeout values which are not multiples of 4 will need to be edited if you plan on uploading them to a PRO, either via Win96 or by cloning from a PRO Added a new "CSV data set" file import type.

This is a text file e. See the File Import and Export help page for more information. This loads a text file that contains the names of up to 11 P96 files. When reading this?

See the Virtual Scanner Interface help page for more information. Added the PRO? Fixed a bug in the CSV import code that kept the "import into current bank" function from working. Removed the MHz frequency range from the available data-entry ranges. The "extended frequencies" feature doesn?

Win96 now writes only this format, but will continue to read the "old" format. This new format will be documented in a separate text file, to be released on the Win96 web site.

The "Center tags" menu item Edit menu has been changed to "Justify", and new options have been added to the dialog box that appears when that menu item is selected. This is useful if you have justified i. Added the requirement that at least one bank be checked under "Enabled Scan Banks" on the Settings page. Removed the two checkboxes from the Extended Tables dialog.

Added new "Multi table" options to the and groups on the Channels page. The Extended Tables button is now enabled only when at least one of the two "Multi table" items are selected. The PRO, apparently, does not like out-of-order lists this makes sense, given the most likely algorithm for checking that list while searching.

This will allow pasting of frequencies greater than or equal to 1 GHz with 6 decimal places. Removed a check for "printable" characters in alpha tags. This is to allow most of the actual characters available on the PRO Print option. Paste Frequencies directly from any website using 'Paste Special' Setup channels in an easy, spreadsheet type interface. Store unlimited number of configurations on your harddisc. True Spreadsheet style grid editor with easy cut, copy, paste options:.

It makes importing your frequencies a snap:. Fixed an issue with the backup in progress and the RadioReference import status update information not linked to the size of the screen as they should have been. Added support for the upcoming RadioReference. This option will allow you to import information about a system without a connection to the Internet.

Note that the speed of the data import is dependent on your computer hardware and speed. Pro96Com has no control over the time it takes to do this import. This feature should be considered to be a beta feature at this point since the radio has not been released yet, and I only have the data provided by Paul Opitz to work with at this point.

Separated the Affiliation Log and Affiliation listings onto separate tabs. This gives more room for the information in each list. Added a Last Affiliation column to the Affiliation list screen. This will show you when each radio last affiliated with the tower site. Added a talkgroup description column to the affiliation log screen. Previously only the talkgroup number was shown in this list.

Added the ability to filter the affiliation log based on ranges of radio IDs. When the filtering is enabled, only the radio IDs that are within the specified ranges will be logged to the affiliation log. All other radio ID affiliation information will be discarded. All affiliated radios will still be shown in the affiliation listing. Up to 40 ranges may be set. Note that only the information that is in the affiliation log screen will be saved to a file when the save button is clicked, or the auto save is enabled.

Custom colors created while in the configuration editor, editing a talkgroup, or editing a radio ID are now saved when the OK button is pressed on those screens. These custom colors are then re-loaded on the next run of Pro96Com. With this fix, the held talkgroup is now displayed correctly. This appears at this point to be a compiler bug, but I've found a way to work around it. Since I couldn't reproduce this here, I'm hoping that the code changes I made will correct this issue.

This version of Pro96Com no longer supports previous versions of the pro96com. This file has undergone many revisions since the release of version 1. The code that handles all of that backward compatibility has become quite ugly, so starting with this version, only the current format of the file is supported. This should only cause a problem if you are upgrading from a very old version I think the last real change to that format was around the 1. In the new environment there are a number of new tools available that were not previously included.

This should open up some new doors for future enhancements. Added an option to the automated backup procedure to add the date to the folder name when performing a backup. The Check for updates code is a conversion to a new HTTP library that is included in the development environment. Please test this code, especially if you connect using a Proxy server. The import from Radio Reference is all new code.

Pro96Com is now using the new Radio Reference Web service configuration. Please let me know if it does not work properly for you. I think I've finally fixed the issue with the program starting up monitoring the control channel on a controlled radio. Please let me know if you still see this happening.

It became apparent when doing RR imports that the space provided previously for these fields was not sufficient. Added RadioReference. You must configure the service on the configuration screen before the service can be used.

The actual import option may be found under the System Menu. Note: One beta tester has reported that there may be issues with the RR import on the Windows Vista operating system. I have been unable to reproduce this issue in my testing. Please be sure to have a backup of your data files before using this option for the first time. Added scheduled data backup option. If enabled, Pro96Com will check to see when the last time a backup occured at startup, and once every hour after that.

If the number of days specified in the configuration screen have elapsed, a backup of all System folders will occur. The backup may be scheduled anywhere from once a day, to once a year. By default, backup data will be placed in a sub-folder of the System folder called "Backup". You may also specify an alternate location to store this backup information in the configuration screen. This text is in the same location as the Import in progress text, but will be hidden if a data import is occuring.

Note: The check time how often Pro96Com checks for a scheduled backup is also configurable, however there is no option present in the GUI. By default it's set to every 60 minutes but can be changed by changing the value of the "CheckTime" key under the [Backup] section of the Pro96Com. The value of this key is in minutes. The Talkgroup and Radio ID settings were being reversed. Added the manufacturer code to the control channel dump and unknown packets screen.
