Re: Re: UBC780XLT and Proscan

I was one of the original Beta Testers of ARC780, and continue to use
it to this day. I agree, it is easier to use to edit existing
programs. It is also well integrated with Windows' Clipboard. It is a
16 bit Windows application, and won't run under 64 bit Windows.

I use it with Win 98, 2000, XP and Win 7-32.

Windows 7 Settings:
1) check Run as an Administrator
2) check Run in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP SP3

For what ever reason, the author of Proscan continues to attach a very
low importance to improving this software's meager editing capability.
A pity really, because it absolutely excells in areas of monitoring
history, remote control, and audio streaming and logging!

It is also nice when you have multiple radios and models, as Proscan
works with many different models with one license.  ARC requires
purchasing a new software for each different model of radio.

It also allows me to copy and paste the database between ARC780 and ARC996, which is very helpful.   I can generate databases for the 996, then quickly and easily copy and paste to ARC780.
