BCD436HP/BCD536HP: Master Delay

[325xia]

Is there a way to set a new Delay, (instead of the default 2 sec's.), for the Full Database or when generally Searching? i Know how to do it for my Favorite Lists, but can't find it for overall searching/scanning.

Thanks

Well, I guess there isn't. With all the views and lack of response. I wish you could just set a Universal Delay, instead of diving through menus on the scanner for each individual channel. Because., the default 2. Sec's is not enough delay. What a PIA and a waste of time to have to do this to every channel in the Scanner.

As far as the master list, no. I wanted to change it for the New York State Police when the scanner is on full database. Instead, I copied NYSP to favorites, and avoid them in the database scanning. Yeah, it's a PITA, but not that bad of one.

Even if you can't set a master delay on the scanner it would be nice if you could change the default in Sentinal.

+1. Exactly. And something that should be implemented in a future version. IMO

All of the channels in any given favorites list can be changed with just a few mouse clicks.

There is a feature in the ARC software program that allows you to manage some things in the full database. One of those things is the delay time for channels.

While this is a decent feature, whenever you download an updated master database from the Uniden site, you have to repeat the process.

All things considered, creating Favorites Lists to manage channel delays involves the least amount of "pain".

"A few mouse clicks"? Please enlighten us on how this is performed with hundreds of channels. We will see how few.

Easily done in the Sentinel favorites list editor.

Choose which favorites list to edit.

Change the first channel's delay value in the list, then right click on that value and "copy" the new value.

Shift-click the last channel in the list to highlight the whole column.

Right click on the highlighted column and "paste"....... The new value will be applied to ALL of the channels in the column at the same time.

We will see how few.

Yes, We will.

This is helpful. And thanks for describing how to do it in Sentinel. You are right...few mouse clicks.

Well, I tried to do this as described. It doesn't work. Back to doing this manually on the scanner.

I just tried it and it worked for me.

And thanks for the tip!

Yes, It is working. I had to go through the lists on the left side.Not explained well. But, I finally figured it out.
