I own both SDS radios.
I'd like to know if there's a way to make profiles unique to each radio.
For instance, whenever I make a change to a Favorites list, it is mirrored on both scanners, regardless if I make a profile for either scanner.

TIA

Correct, favorites lists are common to all profiles. Your selection of which favorites lists are sent to the scanner and which ones are monitored by that scanner, as well as custom settings for each scanner, are what make each profile unique to a particular scanner. That's exactly what profiles are for.

Usually if I want to do another Profile for a different scanner, I'll open a Profile I'm happy with and do a "Save As" in Sentinel.

Then I'll be sure that new Profile is opened and make appropriate changes, such as opening screen, target model etc.

Next I'll turn on or off (Monitor On/Off) Favorites Lists owing to my needs. (One Profile A, FLs 1, 2 & 3 are off, but they are on for Profile B).

I've also been know to have multiple Profiles for the same scanner owing to whether I'm traveling.

One thing I've learned the hard way is to be sure I've opened the proper Profile for the scanner I'm working on.

I've done the same, and with the SDS series scanners, I also make sure the target model (in Sentinel) matches the scanner I'm creating the list for.
