    Open source the sentinel software?

    Is Uniden open to making the Sentinel software 'open source'? If an option, Uniden and our Uniden scanning community will benefit significantly and harden an already very loyal following by complementing a fine set of radios with a community supported software that exceeds expectations making...

    New Bcd536hp can I use my Sentinel Favorites from my HP-2?

    Hello All, Sorry if this is a bogus question. Can I use my Favorites in Sentinel for my HP-2 for my new BCD536HP? I assume I will need to add Quick Key assignments to them since BCD536hp relies on them. I didn't have to add those Quick Keys for the HP-2. Any other info? Thanks, Rich

    Sentinel Settings

    I'm sure this is a dumb question. It will be enough dumber if there isn't a way to do this: When making changes to the preferences of channels on your favorites list (i.e. color and alert sound) how do you change multiple or all of the channels instead of doing each one individually with the...

    Help with Llano, Burnet, Blanco Counties

    I just got a BCD 436HP and programmed it using Sentinel but not sure if I have it optimized the best way. Can anyone share how they have their scanner set up. I previously had a 396XT set up to single frequency system so it would search for the NAC and had talk groups programmed so I could shut...

    BCD436HP/BCD536HP: Can't connect to Uniden Server

    So I've been scaling the learning curve on my new 436HP. I ordered it "Optimized", but the date in the bottom left corner of the Sentinel screen says database version 9/23/2013. I tried to check for firmware & database updates, & I get "Unable to connect to Uniden server". This is my first go...

    I can't find Choptank (Electric) on the Sentinel database. (it is in the RR data). Anyone know where it's hidden? is there a way to import from RR to Sentinel? (was going to ask this in the Md/X36 forum but don't see it)

    Adding to Favorites List in Sentinel

    This question seems so logical that I assume it's just under my nose being overlooked 1000 different ways, but how to you add selected frequency lists, groups of channels, or whatever the exact way it's supposed to be said, from the database seen in Sentinel to a favorites list you have made so...

    RS 20-047 cable for BCD436HP WS1080? | WS1080 requires continual RR.com + web access?

    1. Will my old orange Radio Shack 20-047 USB Scanner Interface/PC Cable work with the Uniden BCD436HP and Whistler WS1080 scanner? If not please recommend one that will work with an old Windows Vista pc. I hope to first run the Sentinel program with the BCD436HP. Getting ready, I do not have...

    BCD536HP and BCD436HP - Using BOTH with Sentinel - Help Please

    A little background before I ask my questions, if you'll indulge me. I am not new to analog scanning having had a Radio Shack PRO-43 Hyperscan Scanner for years. However, I sprang for a BCD536HP this Summer. Frankly, I've barely scratched the surface of the multitude of features on this...

    BCD436HP/BCD536HP: Help please

    Hi. I purchased a BCD436HP recently. Tried to set it up using ZIP code. It programs my scanner for adjoining state 100 miles away as well as my state and national database. When I try an adjoining ZIP code it gets closer, but I hear almost nothing on my local P25 network, except for one rescue...

    HP-1: Mixed TDMA/FDMA talkgroup support

    Let me get this right out of the way first: I understand the HP-1 is not able to listen to TDMA talkgroups. If unlistenable modulation formats such as NXDN, D-Star and talkgroups marked Encrypted are imported, I don't understand why TDMA talkgroups aren't imported? There's a system near me...

    BCD436HP/BCD536HP: Setting 436 Up to Scan for Just One Talkgroup

    I live near a national park in the US and the rangers are dispatched by the county on the far side of the park. That county uses a Motorola Type II SmartZone system. What I want to do is put that system in the scanner...and I know how to do that with Sentinel or with Butel's s/w which I am...

    BCDx36HP Sentinel Software & Siren App Discussion

    Like a new kid around Christmas time, I've been seeking out all I can find about the new scanner models, even downloading and looking at the Sentinel software. I'd like to suggest that the moderators create a sticky on the BCDx36HP Sentinel Software so that as those of us who tinker with this...

    HP1-E - Setting ID Search mode using Homepatrol Sentinel

    Sorry if this question is buried in another thread...couldn't find it. I purchased the Extreme upgrade and I know how to set "ID Search" mode on a system using the scanner itself. Is there a way to set this option using the HomePatrol Sentinel software? Would be great if you could highlight...
