BCD436HP/BCD536HP: Sentinel Missing

[Ensnared]

I have looked until my eyes crossed, but I cannot find the following section of the RR DB within Sentinel. I have looked at national and state. I don't see this page among statewide for Texas. Please, direct me to location: Texas Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

It looks like you have to go into each individual county.
Example: Texas/Bexar/County Systems/Amateur Radio - General Amateur Radio.
Don't know why it's set up that way.
See the column to the right; on the page you referenced above, then go to the county in Sentinel to find the same info.

I would surely like to go to all at once instead of each county. The structure should change on RR and/or Sentinel to reflect this. Actually, all they would have to do is put the same page under Amateur radio, statewide. I think it would be an easy fix. I would rather research the Skywarn Frequencies from my own search, righting them down, instead of going to each county. I noticed that Win500 also disallowed me from seeing the entire state amateur radio frequencies like the page I previously mentioned. I will have to check Butel to see if I can do it any differently.

I know nobody likes to have to pay for extra stuff, but Butels software for the 436 and 536 is so much better. Easier to use is one thing, but importing directly with 100% live updated imports is what it does and what it's all about. Makes programming a scanner a breeze. Much better in my opinion then Sentinel.

Butel is the same.. Just checked.

Maybe the RR database is better for Texas ham radio, but it's horrible for my state. It only lists about two dozen repeaters for my whole state, when there are easily a hundred just within 50 miles of my home. So I don't even bother with the RR ham data, I use repeaterbook.com instead. I search RB by proximity for a 50 mile radius, and then copy / paste the data into Excel. Once in a spreadsheet I can delete what I don't need, change alpha tags, do whatever, then cut & paste into a Sentinel favorites list. That way I get a much more accurate and complete list of area repeaters. Check it out, you might be surprised.

Just in the last few years has RR allowed all repeaters to be listed. Originally it was just ARES, RACES, Skywarn repeaters.

Now people need to start submitting to get it updated.

Excel is a weird animal to me. I don't know how to use it and have repeatedly attempted to do so. I will take your advice and eventually try it out. Thanks.
