SDS100/SDS200: Regional settings decimal separator Sentinel bug

[Fidgety9996]

As Uniden is unable to identify and resolve this bug for at least 10 years now can you please help test this one Sentinel software - Reconstructing full database failed message

From my experience when the decimal separator is , - issue occurs. When you switch to . it disappears.
Can you please report is that reproducable on your side? I want to push Uniden to fix such frustrating bugs, that is unacceptable.

That seems to be the case at least in software for SDS100E available here https://unidenholdings.jp/wp-conten...file/SDS200E/SDS_Sentinel_Version_2_03_01.zip

Reports stating
sentinel used, source of the installation file and results much appreciated.

My memory is, there is a language setting of some sort in Sentinel that sets the separator to either a comma or a period.

Yes, but you shouldn't be forced to make that alteration to Windows when set to be used in a European country when also using the European version of Sentinel.

This is simply programmer's fault. You have many european regions where the problematic separator is set by default, you have no idea whats causing the bug cause there is no proper error handling...

Then contact the European Uniden and have them pay to have the change made.

there is no proper error handling...

That is the real issue, that Uniden does not have proper error handling in many cases of their software programs and firmware that causes strange bugs to happen.
