Do you have all four channels programmed as their own DMR Single-Freqency systems or did you group them all into one with 4 talkgroups? It might be easier if you can attach your sentinel fire so someone can take a look.

Digitalfrequencysearch.com has instruction and importing once you've entered your zip, and further entry method can be found here DigitalMobileRadioUpgrade < UnidenMan4 < TWiki, but the previously site has an import feature that should make your endeavor painless

First question is do you have the DMR upgrade?

OK that's the data. In Sentinel, create a 'favorites' list, name it, then populate the fields with this data. Make sure that you enable the favorites list as a part of your scanning.

I've never tried to program a one-frequency DMR, but I think that these screenshots are correct on how its done. If not I'm sure someone will chime in!

And finally, this one...

dmr programming

thanks for the screen shots it is much easer if actually see it. i got all info in and it is scanning just waiting to see if anything comes up

cheers

I made the print kinda too small, my apologies. I hope it works for you. Keep in mind that just because something appears in the database, that does not mean that the system is actually working on those frequencies or in those modes. I have been trying to monitor a local volunteer fire department for more than a year now using the data in the RR database, and I've never heard a thing. It doesn't mean that the radio isn't working properly; it means that the data is wrong or out-of-date. I think that some people who post complaints in the RR Forum forget this, or they have unrealistic expectations of the radio's capabilities, or they forget the real estate all-important mantra about how "it's all about location, location, location" which applies to radios and their performance, too.

Don't forget to turn on ID Search for the system. Default is Scan so without any talk groups programmed, you'll receive nothing.

Screenshots finally loaded and I see they're there . Still a good troubleshooting step to try if you've still not received anything.
