quick keys

I need someone to help me understand these, the manuals still leave me confused. I know how to set them up, but I get confused with non-conventional systems because they seem to use number tags only.

Why don't other systems like DMR & P25 not show up when setting the quick keys? Are they separate from each other?

Hello All, I decided to expand my SDS models to add DMR and NXDN and bought the upgrades. So in Sentinel. I added a Favorites List: DMR (assigned Quick Key 2) under that Department (are my calling this correct?): Hard Rock Casino (assigned Quick Key 0) under that Departments: Casino (Quick Key...

Some systems I cannot turn off using Quick Keys while scanning. The system numbers in question show up on the display after "SO:" but when I press the keypad number corresponding to the system number Quick Key nothing happens. The system continues to scan. This doesn't happen with all programmed...

Hello all... Just got my SDS100, and it's pretty slick. Of course, there's a learning curve, so I'm here with probably a dumb question about quick keys & scanning. I have three favorite lists each with its own FLQK. Two of the lists are for local police departments with conventional systems...

I have put quick keys in the favorite lists as 1 but when I type 1 as a quick key it makes that error noise and when I tried set scan selection and manage quick key status it says I haven’t assigned any? I’m not sure what to do, I’ve looked through pages and read the manual, any help would be...

Sentinel Anyone come up with a good way to create a cheat sheet? Just used Excel or is there something better? Print out so you have a quick reference on say a full set of Favorites and Quick Keys assignment for quick reference.

I've programmed the Sentinel software with a Favorites List (to which I've assigned Favorites QK 1) that contains 6 systems in total. One of them is a P25 system to which I've assigned QK1. Four of them are Conventional to which I've assigned QKs 2, 3, 4 and 5. The last one is a Motorola System...

I just bought a BCD436HP and love it, especially the quality of decoding P25 in my area. A prior owner of A BCD396XT and a Home Patrol 1, thought there would be obvious similarities in programming as compared to the HP1, but I am having some troubles and am looking for answers/advice. First...

Concerning scan speeds: If you have a large large phase 1 trunked system and would like to break it into three selectable scan groups it seems like I have two choices. First put them under one system quick key with three group quick keys , or secondly, simply have them under three separate...

I have assigned a quick key (1) for a conventional group in FreeScan. Now I'd like to use it to go directly to that group. I tried entering 1. I tried pressing the function key and then entering 1. I tried pressing the menu key and then entering 1. None of these options will take me to that...

PROGRAMMING FOR DUMMIES Problem: Need help on understanding Groups, Systems and Quick Keys. I have had scanners for decades. I cant seem to wrap my head around the concepts of Groups... Systems and Quick Keys. I'm stuck back in the days of "banks" of channels. I keep reading manuals and online...

Have programmed a P25 system with multiple sites. In that system I have multiple groups. When I add group quick key #s to each group, they show up on the display when scanning some sites as an asterisk, not a number. On some sites they don't show up at all (only a dash). In the program menu...

I could use some assistance please. I recently purchased a BCB396XT and am somewhat confused as to its general operation. I have scoured the user manual for answers to no avail. At present, I have left the factory programming on the radio. The scanner is recognized by Mr. Scanner/ScanSoft Lite...

Does anyone know how to type a number greater than 0-9 on quick keys on the Uniden bcd396xt? For example when I try to disable 21 by typing 21 it will disable 2 and 1.
