Sentinel: Add Current Database Channels to Favorites

[phoboss1]

When using SDS100, 200, or even BCDHP436-536, you set your zip code and range to 0.0.

Then, select "Add current dB channels" to a new favorite list.

However, it seems to pull in the systems, but it includes ALL sites, even though when scanning the full database, it only scans the sites within the 0.0 range set by the zip code.

This seems to be a bug, doesn't it?

I know I can edit and delete those extra sites, but it seems to defeat the purpose. I also understand that I can create a favorites list and import it using the software. However, it would be nice to have the option to do this directly from the scanner.

You can delete from the scanner also. When you download a systems in sentinel it will pull in all sites also.

Better to just use @ProScan which lets you select which sites you want to import. Butel may do the same as well.

Yes, I understand that. However, the scanner or software should not behave this way. It seems like a bug; has anyone reported this to Uniden?

It’s been that way for 10 plus years. Not a bug. Operating the way Uniden intended.

Upman's recommendation was:

You don't need to delete or avoid them if you are using location control. Just put in your location. The scanner will only check the sites that meet the location/range criteria.

Understood. Utilize the Location setting in the saved favorites.

Butel does allow selection of both sites and talk groups.
