Hi Gang,

Longtime radio user and scanner listener, somewhat of a novice with HP-1 and Sentinel.

Problem: The data for my trunking system of interest is obsolete/inaccurate, as verified by my monitoring
the system for over a week with unitrunker. As a result the HP-1 misses calls, or on some days, can't find the Control Channel.

How do I edit the right file or system to correct this. Does Sentinel permit me do do so?

Thanks,

JB

You can create a favorites list with Sentinel using the data as you have observed it and write it to the Home Patrol.... you can not alter the data in the main database.

Does the Radio Reference database show the correct info?

RadioReference.com - Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference Database

If so, all you need to do is update the database in your Home Patrol..... if not, you can submit the correct info here:

Submit Data to RadioReference

so that the database will be updated accordingly.

RR database is inaccurate. After a few more days (to be sure) will submit corrections.

Thanks,

I set up favorite lists for everything I regularly listen to and for traveling in the nearby counties. It is easier to change what I am monitoring as well, quicker than using quick keys. I only use the DB when traveling out of town.

I like to set things up different than RR does as I capitalize everything, set the delays, and set the volume levels to +3.
