DataGrabber Overview
Go to our DataGrabber web page ( www.scannersoft.com/datagrabber.htm ) for brief demonstration
videos showing how to use the DataGrabber features.
The ScanControl DataGrabber revolutionizes the way you program frequency and talkgroup data into
your Uniden scanner. Instead of manually typing hundreds of numbers and text tags into your PC you
simply drag your mouse to highlight the frequency and talkgroup information you want, click Ctrl+Ins
(the Windows copy keystroke) or your browser's Edit, Copy function and then click the Paste button in
ScanControl. Tailored to work with RadioReference.com now, the popular on-line and most up to date
radio system database, and other Web data sources in the future, the DataGrabber makes it easy and
quick to capture radio system data and program it into your scanner.
(Terms of use: Use of the ScanControl DataGrabber is not intended to circumvent the requirement for a user
subscription to RadioReference.com for downloading RadioReference.com data. 3D Technologies, the makers of
ScanControl, urges its ScanControl users to abide by the Terms of Use for the data presented on RadioReference.com and
purchase a subscription to their service in order to support their continuing efforts in maintaining the vast amount of
radio system data they deliver over the public Internet. 3D Technologies will not be responsible for individual users found
to be in violation of the RadioReference.com Terms of Use through the use of DataGrabber technology.)
• DataGrabber Intelligence - Other scanner programming software products offer data "imports"
from RadioReference.com. But they import entire systems in one step and then the data needs to
be manually configured and manipulated to fit your radio's memory structure or your personal
preferences, or both. The DataGrabber gives you the flexibility to "grab" all the data in a system,
or only the data you want, and paste it into the ScanControl editors "intelligently". During
pasting the DataGrabber knows your radio's memory structure (banks & scanlists or systems,
sites & groups) and offers options that make it easy to optimize your scanner memory and
configure the data grouped the way you want it.
• Data Aware - The ScanControl DataGrabber is "data aware" during the pasting process. This
means it knows the difference between conventional frequencies, trunk frequencies and
talkgroup IDs and uses that knowledge to capture and configure the data for the type of bank or
system you are programming. Conventional frequencies are brought over with alpha tags,
CTCSS codes and modulation modes intact. Trunk frequencies are pasted correctly for single or
multiple site systems. Talkgroup IDs are pasted with format checking so you're sure of getting
the right format for the trunk system type. Even LCN values are carried over for EDACS and
LTR systems.
Using the DataGrabber
• Grabbing Conventional Channels / Frequencies - Using the RadioReference.com RR
Database select a State and County to display the radio system data you are looking to capture.
Scroll your web browser up or down to display the frequency or talkgroup ID data. See the
example page below …
