When exchanging the current information between computer software Sentinel and the SDS 200 scanner, I have not found a clear instruction. Specifically, if I have several Favorites Lists in my Sentinel software and have subsequently added several Favorites Lists with only the scanner (for...

Sorry folks, I'm old and medicated. Can someone please explain the programming taxonomy / hierarchy of the SDSXXX radios? I have a SDS200 and tend to confuse myself between the differences of a Profile or a FL (Favorites List). I have that manual made easy book - but there's nothing - even in...

Hello all, I was wondering if there's a way to delete all unnecessary systems from my HP2 using Sentinel. When I 'read from HomePatrol', it shows US (every state) and Canada. I only need Maryland and Washington DC. This all causes it to take a long time to turn on the scanner. Thanks! VTK

I am just wondering which software people use to update the database on SDS100 & SDS200? I use Sentinel for original Favorite List and to update database. I use ProScan mostly to control my SDS200 and act as web server for it.

I am having a problem with getting the Sentinel software for my SDS100 to run on my Windows 10 laptop computer (Windows 10 version 22H2). I believe this started after updating my computer with the latest Microsoft Updates from the last patch Tuesday on December 13th. I know that those updates...

I’m have a problem with my sentinel software. Normally when I click on the Nationwide/Statewide/County Systems tree. I would click on the Plus or Minus and the information on the system would extend out. As of today I can‘t any of the city radio frequencies or county systems. How do I go about...

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...

Hello, I have the Uniden BCD436HP and trying to scan San Bernardino County Fire (CONFIRE). But, it doesn’t work. It says, “scan mode, nothing to scan” I don’t know what I’m doing wrong or if it’s just not working. I’ve tried and tried. I’m using Sentinel as well. One person told me to use the...

All - I've spent quite a bit of time searching the Internet and browsing through the "Easier to Read" online manual, but I've got a Favorites List for my SDS100 that I created using Sentinel - consists solely of manually entered (in Sentinel) conventional frequencies - all "Aviation = simplex"...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm trying to understand the functioning of the software and the scanner. If there is an update to a trunk system in a favorites list, will this be updated automatically in the appropriate favorites list(s)? For example, if frequencies changed for a site...

Hello All, So I have 2 - P25 Systems in my area. Problem I am having is that I cannot toggle on and off one of the systems. (Through Quick Key Use on scanner) - can you help? In Sentinel: System 1 Tulsa_OkWin_P25 - Monitor On Download On Quick Key 0 System 2 BA_Comm_Reg - Monitor Off Download...

Good evening Ive looked over some posts about the alert light, my question how exactly do I get it activated? I tried through the main TGID list on Sentinel, and even added the ones I was trying to activate to a favorite list but still a no go. Its been a few months since Ive updated the...

It's a simple thing, or should be, but I run afoul of it every single time: 1) Update Master Database 2) Force Write Full Database to Scanner (SDS200) I know it doesn't automatically update my Favorites Lists, so ->exactly how do I apply the recent changes to my Favorites Lists? I have not...

Sorry if this post is too long, but I'm not sure what information is relevant. I purchased the sds100 after watching some videos, thinking I could use the Sentinel software to avoid the things in the database that I don't want to hear, program the scanner, and then have the scanner not scan...

Hello, unfortunately the only Windows laptop I have is my work computer. My company has the permissions pretty locked down so I am unable to install Sentinel. Is there a way to update the database and/or the firmware without having to use the sentinel software? Can I insert the SD card into the...

Sentinel has been troublesome recently. I have been trying to program my sds100, and when I upload the lists I create to the unit, either nothing gets transfered over, or only a bit gets written. This doesn't just apply to new favorites lists either, but also settings, and list orders that I...

I have a question concerning profiles, or more specifically, the deletion of profiles, in Sentinel. I've never really played around with multiple profiles in the past; just created my Favorites Lists, transferred them to the radio, and then made modifications as needed. However, within the past...

Need help with something on sentinel. I am trying to append certain channels from (NJICS), specifically fairfield police, which falls under essex county, into a favorites list. When I do, not only fairfield police goes on the favorites list, but every other site that is on that list goes on the...

I'm using CrossOver on my ChromeBook to run Sentinel. I've got the software installed and running. I've got my BCD436HP connected to the Chromebook, the Chromebook can see the scanner and the SD card, but Sentinel (running in CrossOver) doesn't see the SD Card. Does anyone know of a setting...

Hi All, I'm relatively new with my SDS200, I bought last month. I've had very little time to read up on DMA tech or much detailed op of the scanner. My previous scanner was a yellow portable Uniden of some sort with a fixed # of "channels" with a ducky*. I bought that thing maybe 20 years...
