So I think I'm finally understanding how to program my BDC436HP with Sentinel but, I've made some stressful mistakes with the TCAN builds and have a question. So I currently have Karns Fire as a favorite and Sentinel/RR has it listed as TACN P25. When I load that favorite in the scanner with the default frequencies and sites, I can see it scanning through all of the 50+ counties in Tennessee. I'm assuming I don't need county sites that are nowhere near Karns or for that matter, Knox county area.
So is there somewhere I can go on RR to see what surrounding counites I need to keep? I poked around the Karns database but didn't see any correlations that matched the Sentinel list. I've been in Knoxville since 1999 and know most of the counties surrounding the area but I don't want to remove any that I may not know and that may provide a better signal for scanning, if that's what the "sites" do.
I provided a frame grab of some of the counties from the default list and a condensed list from my saved favorite. I kept what I thought was around the area but keeping and removing others was a guestimate which may or may not be a good decision.
