********  ATTENTION *******

 

 Radio Archives are/have had issues due to several software related updates...

  This is due to when the Proscan Developer pushes an update it freezes the ability for the

software to continue recording and also to display the scanner for those connecting via Web or Proscan....

 

Again today another Update was pushed overnight affecting prior recordings for APP. 8 hours...  

hopefully soon a Stable update is released.

 

Thank You for understanding.
