Ok, maybe I am an idiot?
I am pretty savvy with computers, scanners and all of this, but is it just me or the the Sentinel Software a bit quirky and non intuitive?
Yes, I have a HP1, but not played with it too much, also now have a 536HP, but I must be missing something here.
How is it the Sentinel Software will even allow you to configure a system that will not work??
Where are the pop ups stating, Hey idiot you do not have a frequency, talk groups or what ever is required?
I have tried about 6 times to set up a VERY simple favorite list just to see how to do it, how to make it work and how to add some features. But I am a total failure with this.
I can communicate with the scanner, load Favorite Lists, have a Favorite List Quick Key, talk groups, frequencies, BUT something is wrong.
Probably VERY obvious to the veterans here, but if I cannot make this work, I am SURE there are PLENTY of others there that are having issues.
What about a default example Favorite List in the software so you can look at it an understand what is fields are required.
It also does not help that Butel software seems be a bit more intuitive, but there are differences in the Tree structure with the Sentinel software or at least what appears to be differences.
So where the hell am I going wrong here?
Someone help me out here, I am obviously missing something or doing the same thing wrong.
I cannot be the only one to ever do something stupid with this software.
