Enhancements:

	Introduction of our Intelligent Audio Capture (IAC) technology.  IAC enables you to capture audio streams from the radio and save them on your PCs hard disk for playback by any compatible audio player software (Windows Media Player, iTunes, etc.).  IAC is intelligent because it doesn't just send all audio to a single file.  During control / monitor sessions, if IAC is enabled, individual audio files are created for each unique frequency or TGID that is received by the radio.  The audio from each frequency or TGID is then streamed into these files, with "dead air" or gaps dropped out, for as long as the recording session is enabled.  Of course, your PC will require a sound card with a Line-In connection available, and a cable from the radio's Rec-Out connector to the Line-In connector.  Files can be saved in WAV, MP3 or any of several other formats that may be available on your PC.  You select the audio device source (e.g. SoundBlaster Card), and the audio device input (e.g. Line In) from all the available devices on your PC.  These are then saved as Program Options for all your ScanControl sessions and can be changed at any time.  Features of IAC include: Audio File Groups:   Users will have the option of selecting an audio file "Grouping" as a program option.  The three current options are Session, Date/Time and Chnl / TGID.  The Session option places all the audio files for all Chnls / TGIDs / Searches etc. into one folder labeled with a date / time stamp based on when the session started.  The Date / Time option creates a folder hierarchy with the top folder being the Date, subfolders under it, one for each hour of the day and then each of the Chnl / TGID / Search etc. audio streams is placed into a folder based on the hour in which the audio stream began.  The Chnl / TGID option creates a folder for each Chnl / TGID  being monitored and places each audio stream file into the appropriate folder. Base Scanner Record Out:  Uniden base scanners have a Line Out or Tape Out audio connector.  This connector is controlled by the Record Out attribute that is associated with each Channel / TGID / Search Range, etc.  If a Channel has its' Record Out attribute set to ON then the audio from a transmission on that Channel will be sent to the Line / Tape Out connector.  If the Record Out attribute is set to OFF then the audio will not be sent to the Line / Tape Out connector.  This method allows you to pre-select which Channels / TGIDs / Search Ranges will be recorded during scanning / searching sessions.  IAC will honor the Record Out attribute and only record audio streams for Channels / TGIDs / Search Ranges whose Record Out attribute is set to ON in radios that support this attribute.   NOTE CHANGE AS OF 01/16/07: You will be able the selectively enable or disable Channels / TGIDs for recording from radios that do not support a Record Out attribute.  We've modified ScanControl to implement the Record Out attribute in software only. Operates w/Handhelds:  Handheld scanners traditionally do not have Line / Tape Out connectors and they therefore do not utilize a Record Out attribute like the base scanners use.  However, they do have an earphone connector.  The earphone connector carries all the scanner audio.  Our testing indicates you can connect the earphone connector to the Line In connector of your PC sound card and get pretty high quality audio into the PC.  Therefore, ScanControl IAC will operate with the Uniden handhelds if connected in this manner.  NOTE CHANGE AS OF 01/16/07: You will be able the selectively enable or disable Channels / TGIDs for recording from radios that do not support a Record Out attribute.  We've modified ScanControl to implement the Record Out attribute in software only.
	UASD File Import Capability - Users will be able to directly import UASD (Uniden Advanced Scanner Director) system files into the ScanControl System Navigator.  Available for all DMA radios, ScanControl will allow a UASD file from any DMA radio to be imported into any other DMA radio connected to ScanControl.  Volumes of UASD system files are available in the Uniden radio user groups and on the Uniden Web Site.  These libraries of system data now become easily accessible to ScanControl users.
	ScanControl single system export and import capability.  Users will be able to save any DMA radio system as a single system in a new file format (.dax for data export).  .dax files from any radio can then be imported into the System Navigator for use by any other DMA radio connected to ScanControl.  This provides a quick and efficient way for ScanControl users to share systems data without losing any attributes which sometimes occurs if you have to do a csv export and import.  .dax files are native ScanControl data files so no field mapping or customization needs to take place.
	Full implementation of Location Alerts for GPS enabled scanners including the BCT15 and BCD996T.
	More to come ...

Bug Fixes:

Several minor bug fixes will be included and will be detailed here at a later date.

Enhancements:

	Scanner Control / Monitoring Support for the BCT15 and BCD996T.
	A new System Navigator has been implemented for all DMA radios (SC230, BC246T, BR330T, BCD396T, BCT15, BCD996T).  The main ScanControl screen now contains an expandable list of all the systems in the data file.  The user can click to expand or collapse the list.  When expanded, the user can scroll up and down the list, select any system, site or group and double click on it to be taken directly to that system, site or group for editing.  The Navigator list also contains the Quick Key assigned to each system, site or group for easy reference and updating of Quick Keys.
	Edit System Screen for BCD996 and BCT15 - Add "S", "T" or "R" (racing) designation to Group Drop Down List so user knows which type he/she is selecting.

Bug Fixes:

	Edit System Screen for BCD996 and BCT15 - When adding a new system, then loading new system from radio, them immediately adding new system again would result in  "Run Time Err 5" - FIXED.

	On-Line Help Files updated for all new screens.

Bug Fixes:

	Data File Translation - If source radio is BR330 or BCD396 and destination radio is SC230 or BC246 then System Quick Keys were not being translated properly when loading file. - FIXED.
	Print All Systems button on Mainform not functioning. - FIXED.
	Edit Systems Screen - DMA radios allow multiple priority channels or tgids within a group.  SC was resetting other priorities within the Group as per the non-DM radio convention. - FIXED.
	Edit Systems Screen - Copy Group function did not correctly copy destination Group record information from source group to destination group. - FIXED.

	LTR Talkgroup ID format fix - LTR TGIDs were not being properly formatted for all DMA radios for programming, display, storage and loading.  Programming an LTR TGID would result in an error in the radio and therefore the TGID would not be stored properly.  The tgid is stored and sent as "AHHUUU" in SC with leading zeros intact. "A-HH-UUU" is what is returned after successful programming and during loading. - FIXED.

 

Ver. 5.2.0 >> Ver. 5.2.2 Maintenance Release - 09/08/06 Translate Non-DMA radio data files for loading into BCD996T and BCT15 as is done for the SC230, BC246, BR330 and BCD396T. All non-DMA radio (BC245XLT, BC895XLT, BCT8, BC780XLT, BC250D, BC785D, BC296D, BC796D, BC898XLT, PRO-2052) files are now automatically translated forward for use in BCD996T and BCT15 when loaded into SC - COMPLETED Edit Systems Screen for BCD996 and BCT15 - The Add Site function was not assigning the correct site type for the system it was being added to. - FIXED. Edit Systems Screen for BCD996 and BCT15 - After adding a site the Site / Group list box was being reset to the top of the list, not the name of the last site added. - FIXED. Radio Lockouts Screen - Radio left in "Hold" after programming. Radio now continues scan after programming. - FIXED. EDACS SCAT System Type Programming - SC was incorrectly "appending" a Site to a newly created EDS system. The radio automatically creates the single site of type EDS for an EDS system. Also, EDS type systems cannot track TGIDs in the BCD996 and BCT15 so no Group creation of TGID groups is permitted in an EDS system. The Add Grp button is now disabled for an EDS system. - FIXED. Edit Systems Screen for BCD996 and BCT15 - Delete Site button disabled for LTR and EDS systems as these can only have 1 site and it cannot be deleted. - FIXED. Array Record delete routines corrected for additions when deleted records exist in array. All code areas where records being added / copied also affected. This would have affected all DM radios. - FIXED Edit Systems Screen for BCD996 and BCT15 - Added code to prevent deletion of last Site in system. Trunked systems must have at least 1 Site associated with them. Previously, one could delete that last site. - FIXED. The TGID Priority Bit is not implemented in BR330 and BCD396, just as in BC246, BCT15 and BCD996.  Radio always returns "" (Null) when programming / loading the TGID Priority bit.  So, SC changed in the following areas: Edit Systems Screen for BC246, BR330 and BCD396 changed to remove "P" checkbox column when editing TGIDs.  Load data file routine changed to default any TGID Pri bit loaded to "", both for DMA files and Non-DMA files.  CSV Import Screen form changed to remove references to TG Pri bit import.  Printing routines for TGID Groups - removed print columns for PRI for BR330 and  BCD396. - DONE. BCD996, BCT15 - Removed TGID leading zeros when programming / displaying TGIDs in MOT1 type systems.  Produced a Validation Error when programming. - FIXED.

Enhancements:

	Scanner Control / Monitoring for the SC230, BC246T, BR330T and BCD396T in our Full Version.
	Full support (editing, saving, programming and loading) of: Custom Search Range Settings in the SC230, BC246T, BR330T and BCD396T. Weather & S.A.M.E. Settings in the SC230, BC246T, BR330T and BCD396T. Service Search Settings in the BR330T and BCD396T. Tone Out Settings in the BR330T and BCD396T.

	User's Guide PDF file broken up into 2 User's Guides.  One for NON-DMA Radios and the other for DMA Radios.
	On-Line Help Files updated for all new screens.

Bug Fixes:

	MODE Drop Down list options not correct for BCD396 & BR330. Need to be AUTO, AM, FM, NFM, WFM.  "WFM" was omitted in 5.0.5 release.  List is correct for BC246T & SC230.
	Added initial screen positioning code to DMA Radio screens that were missing it.
	System Quick Key drop down list not populated with correct values for different radio types on Edit Systems screen.  Updated with proper values.
	#051505_001 Following sequence: Control / Monitoring ON, some hits logged into hit list, close cont / mon screen, go into Prog Options, change option for CSV Autostore, save changes, go BACK into Cont / Mon screen, Hit list is empty (should not be), next Hit is incorrectly numbered.  Bug corrected.
	#041006_001 BC245 & PRO2052 Cont Mon Screens - Fixed bug that caused incorrect bank or run time error when using keypad to select banks to be scanned.
	#011606_001 Tone Search / Hit List Problem - Corrected problem with BC780XLT, BC250D, BC296D, BC785D & BC796D Tone Search mode where hits were not being logged during Control / Monitoring.
	#032106_001  Service Search Problem with  BC250D, BC296D, BC785D & BC796D.  When user clicks service the second time they get a “Programming Error” that says “check bank type against frequencies entered” with retry or cancel buttons.
	#050506_001 DMA Radio CSV Import Problem - Importing CSV data into trunked systems resulted in Run Time Error when subsequent system was opened for editing.
	#050601_001 DMA Radios - Validation error when programming TGIDs / Chnls with blank Alpha Tags.  Validation code updated to allow for blank tag fields. Ver. 5.1.0 >> Ver. 5.1.1 Release 05_11_06 Emerg Bug Fix for date time stamp being saved in record #2 of data file. Ver 5.1.0 code allowed either 12 hour (AP / PM) or 24 hr time format to be saved depending on what format the system was using. New code forces 12 hour format so Load data file routine can read the version tag properly. Ver. 5.1.1 >> Ver. 5.1.2 Release DMA Radios - Programming trunk system freqs does not automatically program displayed channel alpha tags.  FIX - Send CIN cmd after programming TFQ to update channel with stored alpha tag. Non-DMA data file to DMA translalation - 1st TFQ gets assigned wrong SYSID & GRPID. FIX - code corrected to update 1st TFQ with correct SYSID and GRPID. Edit Systems Screen - Using row Insert in Trunked System System Frequency group.  Code was not inserting the TFQ record with correct values. - FIXED. Progress Screen during System Load - Incorrectly displayed "RACE" for group type, should be "FREQ". - FIXED. Non-DMA data file to DMA xlation - Chnl L/O set in Non-DMA file sets L/O bit in TFQ records. N/G. TFQs cannot be locked out. Code updated to force TFQ L/O to "0". - FIXED

Significant New Features:

	Full Support for Uniden's Dynamic Memory Architecture (DMA).  ScanControl now contains the programming infrastructure necessary to support Uniden's latest radios built on their Dynamic Memory Architecture.  ScanControl Version 5.0.0 has added support for the BCD396T and the BC246T.  Additional models that are based on DMA are planned, including the BR330T and the BCD996T.  All this is built upon the existing ScanControl code base so Version 5.0.0 supports these new radios AND all the older radios we have traditionally supported.
	New High Speed Communications Handler.  ScanControl Version 5.0.0 now has an improved, high performance communications handler.  This means data uploading and downloading to and from your radio is now super fast.  In most cases communications will be at least 10 times faster than previous ScanControl versions.  Existing ScanControl users will want to upgrade for this performance boost alone.  This handler is used for programming and loading all supported radios, not just the newer DMA radios.  NOTE:  The new handler has not yet been integrated into the existing Control / Monitor screens, so these will continue to perform as always.  Future ScanControl releases will add the new handler into these screens over time.
	ScanControl Data File Forward Compatibility.  Version 5.0.0 provides forward data file translation for all existing supported radios and all software versions back to Version 2.1.9.  This means any ScanControl data files you now have can be loaded into Version 5.0.0.  And, if you are upgrading to any of the new DMA radios (BC246T, BCD396T) ScanControl will automatically translate any existing data files from the older radios to the new Version 5.0.0 DMA data file format.  See our Data File Translation Matrix for specifics.
	Integrated System Data Editing.  For DMA radios a single screen provides editing for all System, Group, Frequency and Talkgroup data.  The screen is designed to follow the DMA "System" paradigm making adding, editing and programming radio system data very easy.
	Radio Settings Screen.  A Radio Settings Screen has been added for DMA radios providing real time updating of global radio settings such as Backlight, Key Beep, AGC, Priority Mode, even the radio Opening Message.  This screen also contains a Memory Used fuel gauge displaying how much radio memory is in use.
	New CSV Import Screen supporting DMA Radios (Full Version Only).  Version 5.0.0 includes our powerful CSV Text File Import utility for DMA radio data allowing the user to import frequency and talkgroup data from just about any data source, including Excel and many other text data sources.

Enhancements:

	#100905_001 Added new Program Option:  Allows user to disable "duplicate entry" check for frequencies and TGIDs.
	#120305_001 In the CSV map and import process, when you go to "import more from this file", we now leave the current map loaded rather than resetting it.

Bug Fixes:

	#071605_001 Corrected - When doing a bank copy between banks, the 2nd and 3rd Base Configurations do not copy over to the destination bank. Also, CSV EXPORT does not include the 2nd and 3rd Base channel data settings.
	#071505_001 Corrected - When changing radio types (DM Modes >> non DM Modes and vice versa) on the fly for editing data files the arrays like Banks and Tgroups are not being redimensioned correctly for the new radio type.
	#071005_001 Verified - RE: PRO2052 - Edit Banks screen, Banks 11 - 20 should not display any priority channel check box selection for bank. Currently defaults to the first channel of each bank. VERIFIED: C
