Per what Jon posted - the key word is "you".
This is programming you do, it is not info in the RR database.
During your monitoring, listen for dispatch or the units to identify themselves.
(Like 1 Edward 22, John 12, whatever...)
Note the unit ID number shown on the scanner, (make sure you have set up your display to show unitID) and then go into sentinel and input this data under the corresponding FL/system.

So I have already entered some unit ids and corresponding names. I’ll test this in the morning.
But what is the difference the unit I’d name, and the 4 after that from my original post

But what are these for and where do I find them in Sentinel
Unit ID Name 1 (1-16)
Unit ID Name 2 (17-30)
Unit ID Name 3 (31-40)
Unit ID Name 4 (47-60)
Unit ID Name 1 (1-16)
Unit ID Name 2 (17-30)
Unit ID Name 3 (31-40)
Unit ID Name 4 (47-60)
On a side note, I was able to squeeze in 18,400 Ham Radio DMR ID's without getting the FL too big message.

Yes, that's what it does. If it's not in the lookup table, it reverts back to the numeric Unit ID.
I like it that way because I'm not wasting another line for 'Unit ID' if 'Unit ID Name' showed blank/nothing when undefined.

That's when you have a long Unit ID Name, it will automatically parse the characters to the appropriate field. If you only have 'Unit ID Name', I believe it will truncate after the maximum number of characters for the location that you have placed that attribute.
Ohhh so the numbers in () are character postitons it will display in the Unit ID Name - 60 character max
What I’m having troubles with as the names are in the radio the names will not come up only the unit numbers on the 436 the names come up with no Problem what do we do to fix that

You're using Unit ID instead of Unit ID Name. Try this layout:

Unit ID names are shown in detailed view.
I’m still having a hard time coming up with the names that I put in for the trunk systems only the numbers show up you look on YouTube and you see guys with a different set up
