Picked up my 536 last night and loaded up the Sentinel software. Since I’ve been using Butel’s software for many years, Sentinel seems very strange. The concept of having the database program the radio seems limiting, at least for the moment. I have a few questions:
1: I have a few trunked systems that have multiple sites, not all of which are serving my area. I assume that the database loads all of the sites into the radio. How can I delete the sites that are not heard in my area? If Sentinel can’t do it, can Butel’s software do this?
2. I have several frequencies that are not in the database. How can these be manually entered into Sentinel?
3. Regarding the scanning delay parameter, I saw it offered “negative” values. What’s this about?
4. I’d like to hear from anyone who is using Butel’s software. I recall reading that it only supports 1 favorite list?
The 536 is a lot of radio to learn, so I’d like to thank all of you, in advance for responding to my questions.
