Using Uniden Sentinel software.
Database is current version.
Radio Reference website displays NY Suffolk Police (SCPD) showing both Analog and P25 systems.
Sentinel only shows P25, not the analog system.
Why are they not in sync?
Thanks
Steve

As Kevin has suggested, your best bet would be to use ProScan to import the system correctly, since you are a Premium Subscriber. (ARC536 should work as well, but I prefer and use ProScan.) If you do not have either software, both have a 30-day free trial period.

It appears for whatever reason Sentinel isn't downloading the 3600 system.
The 3600 system is not in either version of sentinel, for the HP-1/-2 scanners, nor the x36HP & SDS series scanners. I sent a PM to JoeBearcat, asking that he pass that anomaly on to who ever manages that process.

Side note:
There are other instances where the Sentinel database does not correct;y reflect certain system types in the database

In the HP-1/-2 version of Sentinel, all the P25 Phase I systems in my area are listed as P25 Standard. But the P25 Phase II systems are tagged as P25 X2-TDMA,

In Sentinel for the x36HP & SDS scanners, all P25 systems, whether Phase I or Phase II, are simply noted as P25 Trunk. If I export an hpe file, from the x36HP/SDS version of Sentinel, & import it into the Hp-1/-2 Sentinel, it's listed as P25 Standard in Favorites lists.

The reason the Suffolk County 4.1 (SmartZone) system does not import correctly into Sentinel is because the two sites have custom tables assigned to them which Uniden is rejecting due to an offset of 0 in one of the entries. I believe this was reported to them many years ago when Paul was still alive, but was never addressed.

Noted. There was a delay in the x36 dB update but it should be available soon.

It's not there yet as of this post.
