CFO (Chief Fix-It Officer)
Hello Uniden folk:
I am a new owner of a HP-1. I am not new to scanning and have been in the Radio Shack/GRE camp for a while. I am fumbling through the manual and reading as many posts asd I can to get up to speed. I have upgraded the Firmware, Sentinal and do weekly DB updates.
I have a few questions for the experts out there:
1) I read in the V2 manual that it has better location precision due to the ability to use rectangles instead of circles for department range and location. Sounds great but where the heck do I get to select this. I don;t see any reference to this in Sentinal or the radio. It would be cool to have a google map with transmitter range and be able to customize coverage but I am sure that would be too difficult to do. So for now, how can I choose circles and rectangles?
2) In summary, my question is do I need ARC Patrol or will Sentianl do the job?
4) I use limit searches a lot. Setting the upper and lower frequency and scanning withing that range. Do I need the Extreme upgrade to have this option?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

2) In summary, my question is do I need ARC Patrol or will Sentianl do the job?
a) I am about to start creating favorite which I am beginning to find essential. I read about ARC Patrol but I don't know if I truly need to buy another software package. With sentinal, can I grab agencies from the main database and make favorites?
b) I would also like to make customer lists with HAM repeater frequencies I have in Excel. Is it possible to cut and paste into Sentinal to make a favorite?
3) Do we have any software that can use the streaming audio/control that the extreme upgrade provided?b) I would also like to make customer lists with HAM repeater frequencies I have in Excel. Is it possible to cut and paste into Sentinal to make a favorite?
