Hello,
This hobby is really addictive.
Enjoying it a lot. Have a 436..
Using Sentinel, and I think I have most of the “conventional” stuff into it O.K.,
thanks to all of your help. Sure does help in keeping one’s brain exercised at
my age, which I guess is a good thing.
So, now I’m up to the trunked sites.
As an example, I pulled up in RR the Mass State Police, which is trunked.
I see the CC’s listed in Red, and all of the Talkgroups.
Could someone please guide me to what I want to copy into Sentinel, how and
where, exactly, it goes in Sentinel ?
How does one change the screens in Sentinel to tell it that you want
it for trunked sites ?
Is there a more direct method of taking this data from RR and placing it into Sentinel, rather than Copy and Paste individual lines ?
Is there a good, relatively simple, detailed, guide somewhere that walks one thru this ?
YouTube watching is rough for me these days; would much prefer something to print out.
Just as an extra issue:
I have an old HP-1 for which I created, many years ago in its Sentinel,
some extensive FAV lists that I see are trunked. One of the folks here advised me not to use these in the 436 Sentinel as the columns are somewhat different.
I did Import the old files into Sentinel for the 436, and “it seems” to have copied
most of the important items correctly, I think. But the 436 Sentinel has other columns that apparently need to be filled in also.
Any thoughts on if it is possible to use these files ? Lots of work went into them at the time.
Or, not worth the the trouble probably, and just start over ?
Thanks,
Bob
