BCD436HP/BCD536HP: Sentinel - Setting Scan Delay

[kc2kth]

Maybe I am missing it, but I've looked through Sentinel and I've looked through the "easier to read" 436 manual for a clue and couldn't figure this out. Is it possible to change the scan delay for a group of frequencies I've added to a favorites list? Specifically I added ~200 air frequencies and would like to change the delay from the default of 2 seconds to no delay. In fact looking at one of the entries in a favorites list in Sentinel I can't figure out how to change anything about the entry. Shouldn't there be an "edit" menu item or something of the sort?

When you edit the Favorites List, you are able to set the Delay, as well as other channel parameters.

Hit CTRL-2 to edit a FL in Sentinel. (or use the EDIT / EDIT FAVORITES LIST menu option)

I would call the latter am "edit menu item".

You may have to scroll to the right to see the DELAY header. Below it is where you change the delay.

Great, thank you both. I missed that part of the dialog thinking it was solely for adding Favorite lists.

Does each channel need to be changed independently? I imagine that can be tedious. I don't see a way to grab multiple channels and make edits to all or a way to "copy down" the list like we can in Excel and other spreadsheet applications.

Voyager, you're right of course. That is an Edit menu item. I explained that poorly and was thinking about an edit option in the context menu of the channel, or a "right click" menu as it's commonly referred to as.

Quick update, while playing around in the Edit Favorites section I found a keyboard shortcut method that prevented a lot of mouse clicking. Clicking on the scan delay cell in the first channel in the list, spacebar to edit, up arrow twice to set from '2' to '0', enter to save and move to the same cell in the channel below. Not perfect, but pretty quick.

You can copy/paste most, if not all the columns in Sentinel.
