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...

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...

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...

Hi, I have a new BDC532HP. Just came today from Amazon. For the life of me I can't get the Sentinel software to read or write. I have version 1.01.07. I did get it to "Clear User Data" by checking the the "Display All Drives" box and selecting the E: drive. Anybody else having problem getting...

I scan from a Mac-only household and am struggling with managing my new BCD536HP. As a long-time Parallels virtualization user, I'm currently running latest release of 9.0 and have a 64-bit Window 8.1 virtual machine for my ongoing Windows application needs. I also regularly use it with a wide...

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...

Hello, Could someone please provide a simple procedure for creating a new favorites list in Sentinel for frequencies which are not in the database. I can create a new favorites list, but I am unable to enter any frequencies. I could not find this information in the Sentinel manual or in the...

Got my new Home Patrol last week and I'm finding some difficulties in operating it and the Sentinel software. First problem is I see no way of adding newly found frequencies when running in discovery mode to a favorites list. When using the Sentinel software and reviewing the discovery log, I...

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...
