Sentinel: Multiple Uniden Scanners

How do I setup Sentinel for a 436HP, SDS100, and SDS200?

I'm thinking the short answer is program them all the same, and just turn on the particular FL list of interest on each scanner.

Maybe name the FL for the scanner it's intended to be used on.

I would use a different profile for each model. That way, each profile would be specific to the scanner model. Some parameters such as AGC, Filters, & Display Colors only pertain to certain scanner models. Change the scanner type in the menu Tools - Target Model for each profile. The Favorites Lists will be the same for all the profiles.

You can program all of your favorites into Sentinal for each scanner on one profile. The main thing is to be sure to go to Tools in the menu bar, select Target Model and then select which scanner you are uploading to. If you forget to select the correct scanner in Sentinal (say you are updating the 436 but have SDS 200 selected) the program will go through the motions, but the favorites won't load into the scanner. I have a SDS 200 and BCD 436HP. I upload the same favorites list into both scanners since the file is extremely small, and then just select which ones I want to listen to on the scanner using quick keys.

And … there is only one set of favorite lists shared across all profiles, so don’t go deleting FLs from under one profile and wonder where they went to in the other profile. You can set download and monitor to on/off as desired within the various profiles, but don’t delete!

Just install 3 copies of Sentinel but when the installation process asks for the install name/Folder then change to 436_Sentinel and 100_Sentinel and 200_Sentinel. You will have totally independent Sentinels with their own profiles and favorite lists. If you want to copy one FL from one scanner to another you simple read the other scanner and rename the FL in the read process when it asks if it should overwrite you current FL.

Unable to answer without knowing your endgame.

I program three with the same profile and FL. You can choose the target model in Sentinel. This way my 200, 436, and 536 are all the same with favorite lists. Makes it very easy to get around all three being they are all programmed exactly the same.

Choose target model before you connect. This will give the options of each scanner.

A lot of good replies to my question and I thank you all.

Sorry about being late to the party. I'd think you need 3 Profiles which are almost identical, the only difference being scanner model. If you want different behaviors, that's a little more tricky.

It's more tricky because if you want Favorites Lists to behave differently, you'd have to duplicate (export to HPE, then import with a new name). However, that is cumbersome to maintain.
