Uniden Legacy Software Support

From The RadioReference Wiki

Welcome to the Uniden Legacy Software Support article. If you have many scanners, it's sometimes to your advantage to have a single software package that works with all of them, particularly if there's a way to move data in between scanners within the program.
Scancat Lite Plus has been visible for awhile now. However, as documented on several occasions in the various RR forums, it's not the best choice, in most cases. This article lists software packages that support multiple Uniden scanners; all others should be stored with their respective scanner articles.
There are no Mac-native solutions for programming. See this article from Scanner Master for alternatives.

Notes

  • Colors are used to indicate whether a particular package can record audio. Please see the Connecting Radios to Soundcards article for more information on connecting your scanner and soundcard.
    • Items in blue have audio recording capability.
    • Items in green require a specific version for audio recording.
    • Items in red have no recording capability.
  1. ARC250 requires the PRO version for recording. Scancat Gold for Windows requires the SE version for recording.
    1. Butel software is available from Scanner Master.
    2. There is a separate version of ARC250 for the European UBC3300.
  2. These programs use a proprietary format for their audio recording that cannot be read by a standard Windows player
  3. Only IDTracker III has the ability to connect with the web service
  4. Black Bag software seems to be reselling BuTel and their own software in a combination deal.
  5. Items in bold are compatible with the RadioReference.com Web Service with a subscription.
  6. See the Connecting scanners via USB article for information about making the connection between the PC and scanner.
  7. Scan Control has the ability to directly copy/paste data from the database into an editor without an external program such as Excel. It uses its Data Grabber(c) function.
  8. See the Software Setup For Linux article for setting up Scan Control and ProScan under Wine. Be sure to note the functional limitations (if any).
  9. The ProScan manual can be found here in PDF format
