    BCD436HP/BCD536HP: How to get my Uniden BCD436HP to display talkgroup hexadecimals and TGID information that is not in radio reference already

    No need to visit a website if one is running Windows. Just switch the Windows calculator from Standard mode to Programmer's mode.

    Can a Favorite list be created without using RR database ??

    I manually created a favorites list in Sentinel for a new trunking system which was not in the RR database a couple years ago using whatever version of Sentinel was available at that time and whatever version of firmware was current at that time on my 436.

    SDS100/SDS200: Uniden Repair service sent my SDS100 back without the NXDN and DMR Keys.

    Great idea! About 15 years ago I was unhappy about something with my bank and figured out the bank president's email address. I got a very quick response and problem was solved.

    SDS100/SDS200: Uniden Repair service sent my SDS100 back without the NXDN and DMR Keys.

    The following comment is for people that will be reading this thread, not specifically for the OP. People, if something is important, you need to back it up. License keys whether they be Uniden or software or what ever. Back up all your data. When I worked for Hewlett-Packard, I saw one of our...

    BCD436HP/BCD536HP: BCD436HD issue: 1 of 3 batteries die overnight, even powered off!

    This is a handy device to measure current draw on USB devices. https://www.kleintools.com/catalog/usb-digital-meters/usb-digital-meter-usb-type Since you have two 436s, I would test the powered off current draw on both with no batteries and connected to a USB charger.

    Lakewood’s Fire Ground Frequencies

    I hear that TG used all the time by Lakewood even for "minor" incidents like elevator entrapments. For some reason I never hear anything on that TG. Whenever the Westshore FDs switch to FG during a major incident I get nothing. I've always assumed there must be another FG TG that isn't in the...

    Anyone update their SDS?

    I was getting good reception prior to updating so no discernible difference after updating both my SDS 100 and 200.

    Lakewood’s Fire Ground Frequencies

    Lakewood Fire calls 13514 "Channel 15". The RR database labels it as Westcom Fire 3. Every time I have heard LFD switch to fireground, it has always been "Channel 15" (13514).

    SDS100 survived a water dunk

    Good thing it wasn't a cup of Coke. Back in the 1970s I used to repair desktop calculators. If someone spilled Coke on the keyboard I would find the circuit traces eaten away.

    Greater Cleveland Radio Communication Network

    Notice in my favorites list that I only have one site listed under MARCS: Cuyahoga Co Simulcast. If you have other sites active that could be part of the problem. Other than that, I am out of ideas.

    Greater Cleveland Radio Communication Network

    Here is the favorite list that I listen to 99% of the time. If you unzip this and import the hpe file into Sentinel you can see how I have things set up. There are three systems in the list although 90% of the time I only listen to MARCS. In my scanner, this is favorite list #2. So if I want to...

    Sounds like you are using the full database rather than using a favorites list.

    Fairview Park is dispatched by North Olmsted. Fairview Park, North Olmsted, Westlake, Rocky River and Bay Village all use the same TG on MARCS for dispatching. Since 5 cities are using the same TG, traffic is pretty regular. I also listen to North Ridgeville, Lakewood and the Cleveland...

    I get all the western suburbs from North Olmsted. Lots of traffic. My SDS100 uses a Remtronix antenna.

    Sentinel: Sentinel Software only presents Conventional Channels

    Breezeline, but this isn't the typical "My ISP blocks FTP" problem. I can make ftp connections to other servers on the Internet. I just can't connect to ftp.homepatrol.com. In addition, since my.uniden.com resolves to the same IP address as ftp.homepatrol.com, I also cannot connect to that...
