BCD436HP/BCD536HP: Appending new P25 sites to Favorites List with Sentinel

[sadave]

There have been a number of sites recently added to the Alabama First Responder Network (a P25 system) and would like to add them to my Favorites List. In the past, this could be done by highlighting the site, right clicking the mouse, selecting Append to Favorites List, and then selecting the list from the pop-up window. When trying to do it today, the Append to Favorites List is grayed out and does not prompt a pop up window. The append feature seems to work fine for departments; only the sites seem to be affected.

I am using Sentinel version 2.00 (revision 10) to program a BCD436HP. Have I missed a Sentinel update or is there some other issue?

Just tried and seems to be working. Can also drag and drop into the FL.

Thanks for the reply. Still not working on my end and I've never been able to drag and drop (often thought that would be a great feature.) Like to think everything is up to date but I'll check to make sure my Windows version is current. Odd how this only seems to affect adding sites but not departments.

Just had some success with a clunky solution. I created a new FL and successfully appended the entire system to it. Now, I'll simply have to edit out the departments I don't need. Thanks for getting my brain thinking.

Sentinel, by design, has always added every site when doing an append.


My guess is it's to prevent the rookies from not adding sites.


I add or change by usually creating a new one, manually creating a site, the manually C&P all the freqs into it.


Or use Proscan
