I've been scanning since the 1970's, but now in my late '60's am arthritic and have other nerve damage, making manual data entry hugely painful. Does someone have a favorites list for all the airports from SFO, Oakland, SJC, and in between, including Towers, NORCAL approach/departure, towers, etc? Or point me where to find such lists (if there is a place here on radioreference.com)? I tried to get one of the AI's to help, but hpe files are binary/proprietary so it was unable to help.

Separately, any/all mil-air frequencies in my area would also be greatly appreciated.

Searching is, I guess, one approach but I'd rather have discreet frequencies to save scanning time (i.e. revisit the relevant freqs more quickly). But I'm not good with these scanners so other suggestions are welcome if no one has a favorites list they can send. I'm also open to buying software that would allow me to utilize CSV files - I don't see that that's a possibility with Sentinel? Seems like it would be darn helpful!? That way I can ask an AI to list out all the freqs in CSV format, then use whatever brand scanner software to upload to my scanner...

Greatly appreciate anyone's help - I've got a 536, and SDS200 if it matters/helps.

Hopefully someone out your way has something. If not, all those airports are in Sentinel and can be appended to either new or existing favorites lists. Easiest way is Sentinels Add Channels On Range. Set your zip code, range and service type(s). It builds the list. Then just delete what you don't want, or add anything you do want.

Csv and Sentinel is doable as Sentinel lets you paste. Arrange the columns in the csv as you wish, then copy relevant columns into Sentinel, one column at a time

I have 225 to 380 in my 200 but its every freq, not just discrete.. I can upload it if wanted.

Thanks for the tip - I come from the days of crystals so I'm not great with the BCD536 or Sentinel. I'm learning - slowly :)
