When you append a Department, Sentinel also appends all sites for the system. You can highlight one or more departments, and append them, but it will also append all sites in the system. You cannot pick only one or a couple of them. For a large statewide or regional system, that's a lot of sites that you likely do not want. (I sure don't want all of them).

You can use ProScan or ARC536 to import only the site (or sites) that you want, as well as specifying which departments & talkgroups.

As sort of a 'work around', if you (temporarily) change the name of the system to something else, you can then append the original system, with it's assigned name, to the same Favorites list. Then, edit that list to extract the specific site(s) you want, & copy them over into your original system. While editing, you could, if you desire, change it's name back to the original version.

Another Question because I'm old..... Can you edit the spelling of a name in your favorites list? I spelled something wrong.

Yep.

Select the list you want to rename. Then, select the small a}{e icon on the second line of symbols. It's the one directly under the the "disk" icon.

That will let you change the name.

You can also change the name in ProScan's Favorites Editor.

No idea why they don't have a Rename in the right-click menu. Took me forever to find out the button you highlighted early on.

Thank you that was painless

Had no idea that was there. You are correct on the Right click menu, works everywhere else?
