The Uniden update servers apparently did not accomplish the Monday automated update from the RR database, probably a glitch along the system somewhere. Nothing unusual, happens on a rare occasion.

If Uniden doesn't manually initiate the process between now and next Monday, the usual automated Monday update should occur at that time.

There have been no Monday database updates for sentinel for 2 weeks... Anyone have a clue about this?

Thank you did they give you any indication of when the database might be updated for download?

Uniden has not indicated any future plans on anything from db to repair return to shipment of new scanners. The word indefinite has been mention in most communications with them. All they need in this case is one tech to most likely reboot a computer.

You do know you can update things on your own though right?

I have been using Sentinel for years, RR database updates every monday. How can these RR database updates be done into my SDS100 "on my own?

Directly add what changed in our db to your fl. Where do you think Uniden gets the info? They take a dump of our db every Sunday, just like Whistler does, then format it and drop it to you on Monday.

Do you need the entire world every week? Do you travel all 50 states every week? Not being an ass, being serious here. Just go to radio reference and look at the db. Take what you need and update your scanner.

gotcha. And, I think you can directly download RR Database into Sentinel with a premium Subscription?

The last Sentinel update I can get is from April 27 and it says it is the latest. Is that what everyone else is getting? Thanks.

One system at a time, Yes. Not Full DB..
So the only way I can download a full National database would be through the usual Monday uniden downloads? (which are not currently being done)
