BCDx36HP Sentinel Software & Siren App Discussion

When Sentinel downloads the latest RR database to my computer, where is it stored?

Here:
C:\ProgramData\Uniden\BCDx36HP_Sentinel\Database

One neat thing i like about this software, is you can have the entire RR database on your computer, without ever connecting to the internet. You dont even have to own one of these scanners for this! Just select your area and all the information is right there. (maybe the hp1 and psr800 software does the same thing... i dont know)

It's the same with the HP-1 software (can't say with the PSR-800, don't own one).

True, but you would still want to connect to the internet at least once a week to receive the (very frequent) updates to that database.

I understand the basic concept of the new software, systems, departments and channels. How does the Favorites Numbering (F0-9) work in relation to systems? Seeing this combines both the XT and the HP together it's throwing me off just a little.

it wan't me to install .net Framework 2.0 when i already have .NET Framework 4.5

windows 8.1 pro 64bit

never mind the .NET is pack with the folder

That's the nature of the Dot Net Framework. All versions can coexist on a computer. Dot Net programs are designed and compiled to target a specific framework version.

never mind the .NET is pack with the folder

That's the installer.

On a trunk system, how should a SITE be assigned a QK? I have a system configured but will only allow me to assign 1 QK to a site that has 5 departments which are assigned 0-4.

Good information to know Bob. Thanks!

It looks like an extension of the XT quick keys. From the Pre-release manual:

System Quick Keys
System Quick Keys are used to enable or disable conventional and trunking systems for scanning.
You can assign any quick key to one or more Systems, or program one or more systems with no
quick key assigned that will always be scanned unless you Avoid it. There are also 100 Quick
Keys (0-99) to use for your Systems.
It is best to assign Quick Keys to everything to easily access your Favorites List and System. See
also Scanning and Quick Key scanning order.

Search Keys
You can assign any Search Keys (1, 2, or 3) to any Custom Search range, Tone-Out Search, or
Close Call Only Search for quick access to your favorite searches.

PLANNING PROFILES

Startup Keys
You can program each of your Favorites Lists with a Startup Key (0-9) so that when you power
up the scanner and press the key number, just those Favorites List(s) assigned to the key will be
enabled for scan. Systems are not affected.

Number Tags
Numbers tags will allow you to tag each Favorites List, System, and Channel to locate easier.
Number tags can range from 0 to 99 for Favorites Lists and Systems and 0-999 for Channels.
You can assign number tags to channels even if the Favorites List does not have a number tag
but, without a Favorites List number tag, you can only navigate to these channels while holding or
scanning in that Favorites List. See also Using Number Tags.

Alerts
You can program your scanner to alert you when, a Channel or Unit ID is received, you receive
a Close Call hit, an ID is transmitted with an Emergency Alert or you receive a Tone-out hit. For
each alert in the scanner, you can select from 9 different tone patterns, 15 volume settings, 7
colors, and 3 color patterns.

I included the alerts information because I saw someone else mention that they didn't think the alert worked at the channel level. It looks like it works for everything.

Then how do i setup a alert per CH?
