BCD436HP add a talkgroup

[KC9VBE]

I can't figure out how to add a talk group to an existing p25 multicast system. Much of the system was loaded up in the radio through the Home Patrol feature, but a handful of talk groups are missing. I have the talk group ID's, but I do not see an option to add new talk groups in the sentinel software.

These are the talk groups.

They are in Sentinel - under WISCOM - Dept of health. Perhaps you either overlooked or your database is not up to date.

Note the ones with the E may ne encrypted.

Service type EMS-TAC and Hospital.

As Phask has already posted, you can't add to the HP downloaded database. If you are seeing additional Talk Groups on the RR database page, then you should do a Database Update in Sentinel. Once Sentinel is updated, do a download to your scanner. Uniden updates the database weekly, making it available to download on Monday.

Your other option is to create a Favorites List for the system. You can make whatever changes (updates, name changes, etc..) that you like.

The following are a couple of links to YouTube video's and Wiki pages that might be of help.
