Has anyone successfully imported a favorites list yet from a Home Patrol 2 to their brand new SDS100? I have 5 or 6 very customized favorites list and hope to avoid a lot of typing again when I purchase the new toy.
There is no difference in the Favorites list, whether writing it to either an x36HP scanner, or to the SDS100. So any change, correction, or addition would apply to whichever scanner you were programming.Ok, so If I have both a 436 and SDS 100, when I update my favorites list, does it matter which profile I use/save the updated list on?
In other words, I update my list, save a new profile to the current date, I can then keep the profile loaded, attach each scanner to update them, and all is fine? I essentially did just that when I flashed the new card on the SDS 100 and it seems to have the same lists that the 436 does except what I did was load my saved profile from last month and updated/saved it under today's date and then loaded it.
What's the actual 'workflow' on those updates? Let's say I have a fave list with local town's PD FD EMS freqs in it, may be there are several other freqs too....If I want to capture any chages to thiose PD FD EMS freqs, do I append to that existing list? Will that OVERWRITE the older entries or must I then compare the 'new/updated' freqs that have been [literally] APPENDED to that existing list?
...I guess this is one thing I have to like about EZ-Scan and the TRX-1, that it offers to update your favorites list right down to control channels or TGs, you get to choose. Still do love my new SDS-100 and my BC-436 and HPs. This would be a good feature to lobby Uniden for.

Everyone that does this seems to have their own method.
What I do for my local stuff is manually add anything new/changed. BUT I have an extensive set of radios to monitor unknowns.
I also maintain a list that I use mobile in about 1/4 of the state - I usually just remake it every few months, and/or add any BIG changes manually.
Practice has made creating a fav. list for 1/4 of my state takes 15 minutes or so.
