How do I add another system into an existing Favorites List? I end up giving up and simply adding another FL to my SDS200 that contains just one system.
Ok. But I’m more interested in moving a system I’ve already got. I guess I should rephrase the question to “How do I move a system from one FL to another?- read all of your favorites from the radio into ARC536
- at the bottom of the left column you’ll see 11 tabs...CONV MOT LT P25...etc. click on the system tab you want to create. you want to add a P25 system then click the P25 tab
- at the top of the left column expand the UNSAVED SYSTENMS. you’ll find your new unconfigured and unsave system there.
I don’t see WRITE DATA. I do see Write under BCDx36HP however... is that what you mean?ok, well that's EZ, too.
- presumably each of your individual systems is saved to a file on your PC. if not then do that first.
- read the current system in your radio into ARC536
- click the yellow OPEN icom on the toolbar at the top of the page. navigate to where you have stores your system files and select the system you want to add to the current fav list. or create a new system manually or use the Reference link to import a new system.
- that system should now be showing at the bottom of the current favorites list. select WRITE DATA from the tool barnd then select just the new system and write just that new system to your radioand answer Y when asked if you want to override the favorites config file.
Oops, scratch that. I do see WRITE DATA and clicked on that. Then I selected just that system and wrote it to the scanner. But it’s not in the FL I want it in. It’s just another FL. I’d like to insert it into an existing FL.I don’t see WRITE DATA. I do see Write under BCDx36HP however... is that what you mean?

If you have a "master" Favorites list (in Sentinel), you can use it to quickly create a new list, with selected systems, by appending from your master to the list you want to create for a specific use or occasion. I do much the same thing with a "master" list in FreeSCAN, selecting only the systems of interest to be loaded on one of the non-database Uniden scanners (396T & -XT, BR330T, 325P2 (if no NXDN or DMR systems are needed)). Appending from one list to another (or a new one) is done with the same "right-click" that you use to append a system from the main database to a list. In ProScan, I can drag & drop, or copy systems and departments between Favorites lists. Whether that can be done in ARC536, I don't know, as I do not use that program.Ok. Now I understand your meaning. You are not to blame with the manner used to explain the process. But you missed my point... I am trying to add the contents of one FL to another... so what I end up with is one master FL, not simply adding another. All is not lost however, I have never used the “Write Data” button to write to the scanner. I learned something.
My original intent was to eliminate by merging a bunch of FL’s that contain only one town each into one FL... perhaps my neglecting to mention “Profile” had something to do with this. But since I have no understanding of Profiles, other than (hopefully) a file that includes all of my FL’s I have opened when I hit Save Profile, I didn’t think it germane to the topic.
William, yes I did not clearly understand what you were originally asking. apologies for that. Steve is correct in how to do what you are asking in Sentinel but I don't think it can be done in ARC536.If you have a "master" Favorites list (in Sentinel), you can use it to quickly create a new list, with selected systems, by appending from your master to the list you want to create for a specific use or occasion.

While all of my Favorites lists exist in Sentinel, I use individual profiles for the various scanners. The selected profile has only the systems I want to be downloaded to one of the scanners, and whether or not the list(s) is set to be monitored by default.
