So I ordered a SDS100 And downloaded and started looking at Sentinel
I see it kind of uses Lists for areas of interest.
Is there some limit (even if only a practical one) about how many lists I can have?
I will have a fair number
Some Examples: MilAir, Civil Air, Police, Fire, InterAgency, OSU, Hospitals, Helo freqs (I have heard),
FEMA EMS, Amature Radio, and about 7 or 8 more
I try not to Mix Trunking and Conventional while at it also
Nope, as many as the memory card can fit. And you can turn them off and on, so make them thin and also utilize quick keys to have full control.
I mix conventional and trunked systems when I have different lists on, its not an issue, and I have about ~50 favorites lists that I use normally, plus more that are for trips
Edit: to give you an idea - I organize a lot of mine like this:
Industry - All
Industry - Active (systems/freqs I get normal hits on)
Hotels
Hospitals
Security
Trunked Business
Florida Fleet Talk & Highland Wireless
Military
MilAir
Home (active stuff heard from home)
Airport
Local PS system#1
Local PS sys#2
University
Federal-Home
Federal-All
Sports
Recreation (Zoo, aquarium, etc)
Need ID (systems Im trying to ID)
nearby county PS#1-5
Interop
Schools
Rail
Maritime
Parks & Rescue
Just to name some. This give me total control, if I want to listen to everything - I turn it all on - if I want to listen to only the active stuff - I only turn the active stuff on - if I only want to listen to public safety &hospitals, I only turn them on, etc.
On top of that - I can then turn on and off sites within those lists, for example the west site of my public safety would be set as quick key 1, and east as quick key 2, so I can listen to multiple lists and still only listen to west or east site.
