From RR database to Sentinel

[bob_nj]

Hi guys
I'm new at this.
I'm a Premium subscriber here, but don't know, and can't seem to find how the RR Database gets from here, to the scanner.
I have a Uniden SDS200, and am using the Uniden Sentinel software.

Thanks for any ideas
Bob

No need to worry about the RR Database. The Database is in Sentinel and gets to the SDS200 via writing to the scanner by clicking on the Scanner tab at the top of Sentinel.

So Uniden customers using Sentinel don't need to have a Premium subscription then?

Thanks Dave

I believe I needed the premium subscription to be able to purchase or sell items in the classifieds section.
I like to peruse the RR database and see different systems tower patterns for my area.

If you update the db in sentinel frequently you will pretty much have just about everything in your scanners db that’s on radio reference as long as you select force full write database when writing to the scanner. Pretty much means only scannable systems and if your county updates on a Tuesday, you won’t have those updates until the following Monday.

Since you have a radio reference subscription, if you bought either @ProScan software or @Butelsoftware , you can download non scannable systems as well as any updates literally the second they post on radio reference.
