I have done the necessary modifications to the code for it to run for both UBC785XLT AND the UBC780XLT.

Hi Garreth, UBC780xlt support is still experimental and until I manage to actually get a 780 it will remain so.

hi, will uniden commander help me programme my UBC780xlt, i read it was in experimental phase but that was couple years ago, has anything changed to support this scanner ?

I know you don't officially support the BC780XLT but I wondered if you could shed any light on my issue. I have Uniden Commander installed on Vista 64 and it crashes immediately upon connecting to the scanner. I have tried running it as Administrator and in Windows 98 compatibility mode. I also tried using different baud rates to connect with the scanner. Any ideas? I would love to be able to use your software because the display has failed on my scanner and the other virtual control programs I have tried will not run under a 64 bit OS.

@Rob: there is no option to switch to USB, the UBC3500 only communicates through serial port.

I have downloaded your Uniden Commander software to use on my laptop with my UBC3500XLT however under setting I cannot see an option to change to USB.

Thanks
Rob

Hi Ray,

I can't really help you. I don't have a UBC780XLT to test your scenario. Besides that, I'm not actively (or passively for that matter) developing this tool at this moment in time.

I have installed Netframe and Uniden Commander.Uniden Commander is stable providing I don't set the UBC780XLT to RMT. As soon as I select RMT on the scanner a window opens reporting "Uniden Commander has encountered a problem and needs to close", and sends a report to Microsoft.
I would appreciate your help and suggestions.
Thank you.
Operating system Windows XP SP3.

very very nice program, many thanks for it !!!!!

Works very fine with my UBC857XLT.

Have a nice day from The Netherlands

UnidenCommander is gemaakt met Microsoft Visual Studio. De code is open source en is hier te downloaden: http://sourceforge.net/projects/unidencommander/

Hallo,

Waar heb je dit leuke programma in gemaakt ?
Ik heb tegenwwordig een smartphone, en zit er aan te denken zoiets is ook erg mooi als het op android draait.
Dan b.v. met een comport over tcp/ip

Support for the 780 is experimental. What's is the exact problem?

I'm trying to use your software to talk to my 780 via WinXp and i'm having some problems. Got any advice?

Thank's to the developer
great has worked for one year now and nothing bad has happened im on windows 7 ultimate and its fine

Also can we change channels in banks yet or is it coming soon ??

all the best,
Kieran

Hi Stefano,

Looks great, the tool you made! I haven't tested it, my scanner isn't connected at the moment. I'll try to give it a try soon.

All best best!

Goodmorning sir,
my compliments for your program, that is the only free control software for our scanner.
I saw in UC that the function Channel programming isn't developed yet, so when I found the protocol I wrote the program for myself.
I'm only a student with two years of experience with C and VB6, the result is a little poor :-), but I decided to share this initial version with others.
It would be great for me if you would take a look to my program and write me a opinion, suggestions...

This Works Great with the BC785D scanner also. on Windows 7 64bit. through a USB to Serial Adapter.

will it work on windows 7

Any Windows 7 edition should work. Give it a try, it's free...

Does the Uniden Commander work with Win7 Starter? I have a netbook and the 780.

Thanks

Elmer,

Ik heb een RS232 converter naar USB aangeschaft van Digitus en na installatie komt bij apparaatbeheer de usb serial port op com3 te staan. bij mijn weten heb ik alle handelingen goed gedaan
en toch krijgt mijn scanner geen verbinding. Ik krijg dan de foutmelding.
De settings van pc en scanner staan nochtans juist.
Zou het aan de converter kunnen liggen dan??
Alvast bedankt voor je tijd en ik hoop dat jij mij kan verder helpen.

mvg, Kristof

Spencer,

First, there is not really a need to disconnect. You can either leave UC running or just close it without disconnecting, it will have no side effects what soever.

That said, I will look into the issue one of these days.

Reference my last comment: when I say Control Panel I mean the Uniden Commander panel, not the XP CP!!

Am considering using your s/w as ARC785 is too complex. However; when I go to disconnect, using the File tab, the Control Panel picture breaks up,the process freezes and the only way to restart/disconnect is to use Task Manager to end the task and then to reload using the desktop icon.

I am using Windows XP with an AMD 2813mhz X86 Family 16Model5 Stepping 2 Authentic processor with 3GB of main memory.

Hallo Elmer

Bedankt voor de reactie, jammer dat de software niet geschikt is voor de 780. Zal nu de Butel software maar aanschaffen. Ik denk dat het programmeren me niet zal lukken. Mischien een ander. Succes met de andere projecten

Groeten
Wim

Wim,

Het spijt, maar de software is niet geschikt voor de 780. Ik heb wel ooit de intentie gehad om het geschikt te maken, maar ik ben inmiddels met andere projecten bezig en UnidenCommander wordt (tot nader bericht) niet verder ontwikkeld. Mocht je interesse hebben om zelf te gaan programmeren dan stuur ik je met alle plezier een kopie van de source-code.

Mvg, Elmer

Hallo

Ik ben sinds kort in het bezit van een 780xlt. Ik heb uw software gedownload en geinstalleerd. Als ik nu de scanner aan heb staan en de software wil opstarten sluit deze gelijk weer af. Als de scanner niet aanstaat heb ik dit probleem niet.
Mijn PC werkt onder XP (sp3) en met bv Proscan (30dg) heb ik geen enkel probleem

Groeten Wim

Hi Liam,

I'm quite pleased with my 785. It's fast, has a lot of options, is easy to use, and can be remote controlled using my UnidenCommander software :) So, yes, I would recommend it!

hi my name is liam and i am saving up my pocket money for a ubc785xlt would you reccodmend this scanner
kind regards
Liam

Bij het starten van de software krijg ik altijd de windows foutmelding dat er een fout is opgetreden en het programma moet worden afgesloten.
Ik werk met Win XP Prof SP3 en een UBC780XLT.
Als de scanner niet op staat geeft hij de fout niet.
Uniden Commander versie 0.3.3.0
Ik heb dezelfde fout op 3 pc's...

Hi,

Thanks very much, that's exactly what I was after.

I'm now playing with my UBC785XLT using an RS232 cable and Hyperterm :-)

Cheers,
Len

I think I got them from this source:

Hi,

Thanks for that, but I had a brief look and couldn't find the control codes.

I'd like to try Uniden Commander but I see it requires NET to run and I'm reluctant to install that just for one program. Any chance of a standalone version?

Cheers,
Len

Len,

Please have a look at the UnidenCommander sources on SourceForge, all your questions should be answered there...

http://sourceforge.net/projects/unidencommander

Hi,

I've downloaded your software but have to wait for an RS232 cable before I can try it out. As a programmer myself I'm interested in where you got the control codes for the UBC785XLT as I can't find them on the net.

Cheers,
Len

Hi Dwayne,
I'm aware of this problem, but have not been able to fix it because I do not have access to a 780.

UnidenCommander will crash on start up when I try to use com port 4 with my 780

Hi Mike,

I currently have experimental support for the BC780 (I don't own one), but it is proving extremely difficult to program for a scanner that I don't own. Testing for the BC780 is now done by a friend and takes loads of time and back-and-forth mailing.
I am perfectly willing to add support for the BC250, but I need a specimen to work with. And as this is a hobby project for the moment, I don't have any intention of buying one in the near future.
I am thinking about putting UnidenCommander in the open source community, then maybe others can add support for scanners of their choice.

I hope to hav answered your question, even though it may not be satisfactory.

Kind regards, Elmer

Any chance of making UC available for the handheld version? I have a BC250D that I would love to use with your interface.
