My 2 436's show the sites scanned, and when a transmission is active, it displays the site it is recieving, but my 536 does not. Both have been programmed using the same Sentinel software with no changes made for either in the software,,,any ideas?
Correct. But if you use the 536 with the ARC536, ProScan, or SIREN app, the site and the CC/VC frequencies are shown. So obviously, the 536HP has that information. Why Uniden has not yet made that a display option, still after a year and half, is beyond me. Great scanner, but options for use of the display real estate need to be added in firmware. Same for some display aspects of the 436HP.
It's a matter of screen real estate according to UPMan. I'd like it if they would give us the option, but I doubt that's on their priority list right now. There was a thread a while back where a couple of us suggested that it would be nice to be able to configure what we see on the display. Personally, I like to see which trunked site I'm receiving. There is info that I'm not interested in that is displayed and I'd love to be able to replace it information that I do want see.
I didn't realize the 668 displayed long text tags.
Program each site in its own system.My 2 436's show the sites scanned, and when a transmission is active, it displays the site it is recieving, but my 536 does not. Both have been programmed using the same Sentinel software with no changes made for either in the software,,,any ideas?
It doesn't have a large enough display for really long text tags (only about 16 characters) but it does overlay the TGID with the ALPHA TAG from the RR database.
