Welcome to the Uniden DMA 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 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.

For common Q&A about software and connections to a PC, see the DMA Scanners and Software article

For Rebanding issues, please see the Software Support for Uniden Rebanding article


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. ARC-XT requires the PRO version for recording. Butel software is available from Scanner Master.
  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. FreeScan development has been abandoned. The last official version does not support programming DMR, MOTOTRBO or NXDN for the BCD325P2 or the BCD996P2. It is Incompatible with the HP1 and 2, the 436 and 536, along with the SDS100 and 200. A test version is available that attempts to address the DMR issue, but it is very buggy and not recommended.
  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. It is not compatible with the XT scanners, nor with the older scanners with the new firmware. No longer being developed
  8. See the Software Setup For Linux article for setting up Scan Control,ARC-XT, FreeScan and ProScan under Wine. Be sure to note the functional limitations (if any).
  9. The UASD is very out of date software and does not support the newer firmware versions of this radio. Its use on this radio with new firmware is not recommended.
  10. The ProScan manual can be found here in PDF format
