Programing BCD536HP questions

we used the sentinel software and put my county P25 then sub folders under that same favorites to add some conventional frequencies.
When I scan that system it don't seem to pick up anything but the P25

Your conventional frequencies cannot be in the same system as your P25 system.
You can have them under one FL but not in same system.

**EDIT**
You may need to make sure your services are checked that you want to monitor under the menu.

I deleted the conventional ones from my P25 favorite list. How do I put the conventional in my favorite list but not under P25. I already sent my current changes to the scanner and P25 is working fine.

You select the favorite list in the left column.
Right Click and select Program Favorite List
In the window that opens, under systems click the PLUS Button.
Type the name you want.
Select the System Type. Conventional
Then over in the left pane click the new system.
Under Departments click the PLUS Button.
Give it a name.
Then over in the left pane click the new department.
Under Channels click the PLUS Button.
Assign the info.
Repeat as needed.
Then don't forget to assign the system & department Quick Keys.

They have to be separate systems, but you can assign them the same System Quick Key to turn them on & off together if you wish.

yes this is true also.

Also if the Favorites List uses location control, be sure to add the correct values for Lat/Long and a Range. These will be at the Department Level.

Sentinel defaults to 0/0 for Lat/Long, which is a valid location, but is incorrect for what you want to do.

I would put them in the same FL and use a different SQK for each.

That way you can enable them independently (via the SQK) or together (via the FLQK).
