I regularly update the RR database via Sentinel and download it to my beloved SDS100.
Does anyone know whether or not that process changes or otherwise updates the data I already have stored in the radio? I'm not seeing any differences in the local systems I've stored in the radio's memory, but those systems haven't changed much in a very long time. I'm more interested in whether or not some of the really large systems I listen to (e.g. the Colorado statewide digital trunked system), which are revised much more often, are automatically updated.
It seems that if the updated information remains only in the radio's stored RR database, then I'd have to delete and re-install the entire system to include such things as new talkgroups or site frequencies.
Whistler's programming software (I also have a TRX-1) asks if you want to update the stored information in your radio after you've updated the database in the software. I've never followed up on that option because I'm afraid I'll lose stored data such as new or corrected alpha tags I've laboriously programmed into the radio.
Thanks for the help!
