Just wondering if there was or is ever any Sentinel version update release notes provided with a new version of the software when it came out. It would be helpful to me to know whats new and improved in each version for instance the update that came with the latest DMR update. I know ARC Butel update releases are posted on that web site, so I thought for sure Uniden had a similar resource. If so I'd appreciate being steered in the right direction TIA T.T.

Sentinel 1.07 Rev 3: It allows Sentinel to be compatible with firmwares above 1.10.02, prefixed 1.11xxxxx. It carried no release notes, that's why you can't find release notes. It was wrapped with a DMR capable firmware, so it allows DMR users programming abilities.

Where did you get 1.07 Rev 3? The download page says 1.06. If you have the link I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Hello T.T.:

I believe this may be the link you're trying to find:

BCD436HPFirmwareUpdate < UnidenMan4 < TWiki

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys, it makes sense now, cheers, John

Highly Annoyed DMR

Well, this time, I am going to be making notes on this rather intricate process of obtaining keys. You have to wiggle around things on the Uniden page where the products are located. Finally, I found my purchase history and was able to get the key from there. Then, I strained my eyes trying to see the key and enter it. What an ordeal. Everything around me is still intact and no valuable objects have been broken in the area around me, this is good.

I started this post when I was having trouble navigating this annoying process, but it was a success. I thought I could hear some DMR action today, but I don't know if anyone has entered any DMR in the DB yet, I will have to see. I am going to see Al Pacino in Oklahoma today and I wanted to see if they were using DMR at that Casino on IH35, after entering OK. Cheers.

All your info is at my.uniden.com - including the keys you have purchased. That's the same place you purchased the key from.

DMR Fishing, No Bites

I am starting to learn about DMR and the various features; however, I don't understand the new Beta Release by UpMan. I loaded everything and it showed that it accepted the DMR upgrade. I attempted to monitor Winstar thinking the one-frequency system would work. I guess I was hopeful thinking this was a "one-frequency" system, meaning one control channel. Oh well. Actually, I did not have time to read all before I went fishing. Winstar is either encrypted or I programmed it wrong, manually. After I loaded it, I went into Sentinel and tweaked it. Then, I shot it back into my 436. I also moved it to an existing favorite. Nothing. Oh well, better luck next time.

If there is a control channel it is a trunked system and not a "one-frequency" system.

I have the paid upgrade to DMR and its installed. What I don't like is the Sentinel Software dosen't show the DMR channels in the list. I see them on RadioReference.com But they are all missing from the software. And yes I did update the database on the Sentinel. Now Im manually entering them in. I know I'm looking in the right spot in the list. Because when I click for example Libertyville School District 128 I see 8 frequencies. Then on RR.com database is see 5 DMR frequency's that don't appear.

The data on RR is not yet properly formatted (or not completely). As was stated in the release, the updated Sentinel will be released when the RR update is done - mid-August timeframe.
