Hey, don't know if this is obvious or not, but is there an official (or 3rd party) way to view the RR Database while offline? Would be nice to be able to for programming in places without internet.

Download and install Sentinel. That's effectively the entire RRDB (some trunked systems will be missing if there are no identified talkgroups), albeit a snapshot from each Sunday night, so if something changes in the middle of the week it wouldn't be updated. If you use ProScan, the latest releases can read the Sentinel database when it's installed, and you can import from that without internet connectivity.

Using ProScan, you will need the internet initially to download Sentinel and update the database.

I noticed something with ProScan. The Uniden database location is hardcoded with -> C:\ProgramData\Uniden\BCDx36HP_Sentinel\Database
I'll put in a folder browser dialog so the location can be selected. That way, the database can be copied on to a USB flash drive and ProScan can import from that.
