BCDx36HP Sentinel Software & Siren App Discussion

[AK9R]

This is going to sound cruel, harsh, and insensitive.

Why would a scanning newbie start out with a complex, high performance, top-of-the-line scanner? I don't see many high school driver's ed classes being taught in Ferraris, if you get my point.

...And the videos that UPMan made and posted on YouTube.

Uniden Upman - YouTube

This was not a upman video, this was a wise871 video!!

You are incorrect, that is Paul's YouTube channel, you can tell by the title when you follow the link, Uniden Upman

Maybe because of this, straight from the Uniden site.....

That's not the same link from the post you were quoting, which was clearly Pauls channel.

 

[janesvillegreg]

Why are you linking to a different YouTube user than your previous post?

Because that the post I was freaking talking about, the YouTube vid by wise871 about quick keys!

 

[Jay911]

That's not the same link from the post you were quoting, which was clearly Pauls channel.

He's cut into a reply that W9BU made to me, about videos, and thinks that W9BU was talking about him and the last video he watched.

You can have a video on YouTube the is not searchable only accessed with a direct link, and this video was only accessible though a link on RR, it's pretty much common sense!

First off, you didn't worded it properly for one to understand correctly for it to be "common sense".

I think what you mean to say was "Is this a private video that I need a direct link to or can I search for it on YouTube". That would have made much more sense.

Second, if you returned your radio why are you still looking for tutorials and derailing this thread?

This thread is suppose to be about the BCDx36HP Sentinel Software and Siren App Discussion and you're looking for support on how to use the radio. That's great but, take it to the correct thread or start your own and quit derailing this one.

Actually, poor analogy. Current Ferraris are easier to drive than most manual transmission cars. They now have electronic computer operated clutch, sequential paddle shifted transmissions.

I only did direct links on a few of the videos because I didn't know how long I was planning on leaving them up. I know UPMan said he was going to do a multipart series which would have been more detailed then my quickly done productions. I went ahead and added the link in the wiki for now if users are looking for it.

Dan after watching your video I was able to figure out what I was doing wrong, thank you very much. Please leave it up for others and make it searchable on YouTube, along with other vids, if you have more.

Thanks

How about a series of how to videos geared towards the newbies, how to vids, not comparisons

Greg,

I'm not a pro or expert, but I have put together some videos on the Uniden BCD536HP that I hope can help you and others. Check out the link:

[davenlr]

It is earlier in this thread.. I had to do a search for it..

Sentinel Quick Keys - YouTube


Perhaps the mods should sticky all the videos

That is amazingly precise. Followed along with no issue. Now to dig around and find out what they do, and how to use them on the scanner (which should be delivered tomorrow). Thanks.

Thank you for all your videos, I have watched them all, even the one you just added.

I sure hope they helped you and made some sense. I'm so new at using the Sentinel software, I didn't pronounce it correctly in many of the videos. Oh well, I'm learning along with everyone else. This is one part of the hobby I really enjoy, trying to figure out how new scanners work.

On your trunking discovery video, can you explain in more detail at 1:00 min in, about inputting the system name?

Because they can and want to do so.

That's what's great about the US; we want to do something and arrange to do that.

The scanner is looking for a trunking system to 'discover'. Meaning, we have to put a trunking system name into that search field. So, first we have to program a trunking system into our scanner, and then use that trunked system name in that menu option. For example: I have 'NAS Pensacola' programmed into my scanner. In order to run trunking discovery for that system, I have to put 'NAS Pensacola' in that menu field.
