Bay Area SDS200 Programming assistance?

[PeninsulaGuy650]

Hi all.

New to the site. I'd appreciate any help you can provide. Is there anyone that does scanner programming in the Bay for a fee?

I have an SDS200 and a BCD536HP and I need to program some SVRIA P25 channels and some VHF Fire frequencies, but I'm
a novice. I purchased the ARC536 Pro software, but still having a hard time.

Thank you.

Just use the sentinel software that comes with SDS and *36HP. Get the current database downloaded, open USA, California, then the County and you should see the system name. Then make a favorites list from that.

It's even got screen-shots! here's the link:

Just found this SDS200 programming instruction page:

How to Program the Uniden SDS200 Scanner using Sentinal software

I could not find any good info for programming my SDS200 scanner so I wrote some. I think they are pretty accurate. This comes after you have updated the database and firmware on the radio. That was pretty intuitive. Open the software to the left you will see a list: Database, USA, Canada and...

You might try Bernard k6kbl@radiobern.com. He lives in the East Bay and does programming for a fee.

Thanks everyone. I need to program in some non-public channels, so that's been the complicated part.
I appreciate the help.
