Suffolk County Motorola Type II SmartZone

[richee2000]

Is there Any reason this system is no longer in the Database for download into sentinel? ? Its still active, and listed in Radio Reference.

From my location, I cannot pick up the new Suffolk County P25 system, however, I can pick up the analog channels that are listed for the Motorola Type ll Smartzone system, which are different channels. I have them programmed in as conventional channels, but I would like to program the system as Trunking.... I have an SDS100

That's odd, its listed in radio reference database but not in Sentinel.

I am sure the NY db admins will fix it.

The system is listed correctly in the RRDB, so there's nothing to "fix". This is a Uniden issue, they need to fix whatever is broken on their end.

Sounds like something that needs to be put on the list.

Downloads fine on the TRX

It appears to be a Sentinel bug. I noticed the other night, a different system, despite having all active TGs and what not, was not downloadable into Sentinel, with the 6/26 DB. I just checked now, Suffolk wasn't there. Asked Sentinel to update, it reverted BACK to 6/12/22 and Suffolk is there again. So obviously there is an issue with Uniden's side of the world. (The other missing system, CN tower, is also back as of the reverted DB).

Hah, I didn't even notice that the Sentinel DB was reverted to last week. Silly me thought they actually fixed the issue.

Very interesting and very weird same thing happened for me. After doing a database update on Monday I tried again just now and it updated again and sure enough Suffolk county is there.

Nothing weird about it. We added the custom band plan back to the system a few days ago (RRDB v2 changes wiped it out), Uniden ran their Sentinel DB pull on Sunday, the software didn't like the custom band plan, so it omitted the system. The Sentinel DB was rolled back to last week's version today, and therefore the system is showing up once again. Until a permanent fix is in place, it will keep disappearing with each new Sunday pull.
