Any file someone sends you will look just like the database when you open it, minus the country/state/county hierarchy levels. Systems containing Departments (and Sites if trunked), and Departments containing channels.

Must not be like freescan, some one a few years back sent me one of theres for my 996P2 and it loaded up in program and i was able to see if i was doing it right. I appreciate you letting me know. just have keep watching more youtubes!!

The database in Sentinel most likely already has everything in it you'd ever want to scan. At least if you've updated it. Start with that, look at how things are organized there, then start thinking about favorite lists.

Thanks that file did work for me uploaded into program and i can see how you have it set up with the quick keys and all ,just trying now to see if i can do it on my own the way you did it. the only problem i have been having is my setup dosn,t look like yours, for example i make the favorite start off with Cedar Lake it makes a state system then i add the dyer town and it makes a county system so from there on any thing i add going down your list it puts it either in the county or states system i dont have just a long continus list like yours of towns then at the end the 2 with the county and state frequency.Looks like i am making 2 seperate systems. Will get it figured out i hope.
Again thanks for the trouble you took to make this for me, Thanks

You can delete departments or arrange them in an order you like by changing department quick keys, or delete departments or.....the choices are endless.

Hello thank you for the file werinshades.

Just got my sds100 yesterday and have uploaded the file to the radio but it returns no radio traffic.

I feel like there is a setting I am forgetting to activate.
Any Suggestions? I am in NWI munster

In your profile editor, go to the Service Types tab and make sure all of the service types are enabled. Also make sure that download and monitor are both turned on for the favorites list in the profile.

Munster? I thought you asked me for Cedar Lake? That's an entirely different file I'd need to create.

Cedar Lake and Munster are on 2 different systems, Cedar Lake is on the state's SAFE-T Phase I system. Munster is on the Lake County Phase II system. If both systems are not fully added in both there will be a lot of traffic missed. I always use 2 scanners to follow both systems separately and still miss calls. With as busy as it has been lately I probably could use a couple more scanners. All I add is main CC into both scanners, over the past years neither has changed CC yet ever, but not saying it could never happen.
