I'm just happy that there is a "simple" mode for folks like me who can get easliy confused with the cluster or information that can be available when you first look at the "detail" mode. But since the possible configurations of the detail mode are so extensive, once folks get used to the radio, they can tailor to detail mode to be as detailed or as simple as they like.

Whatever works for you is right.

You need some color on your keys. I've tried many colors but I found Chartreuse shows up best for my eyes. Naturaly it only works on Proscan. On Proscan go to Options/Scanner specific and scroll to Key Color

How do you get the Favorites List (Adena P25) to be Center Justified? When I used the Proscan Utilities --> Update Text Tags --> everything id centered but the small text Favorites list.

Centered like this.

When writing to the scanner, Check the option "Erase Favorites Lists On The Scanner" because the scanner thinks that the extra spaces in the Fav name is different Fav List and will treat it as such.

Care to share your file? I dig that one.

Background = Black
System = Yellow Green
Department = Chocolate
Channel = Olive
Other text = Brass (some Yellow Green)
Top/Bottom Rows = White

Other colors that could work are Saddle Brown, Olive Drab and Dark Olive Green. I wish the color palette could be modified with unique RGB values, but this was as close as I could get.

Also, I noticed the colors on Sentinel do not look anything like they look on the SDS100.

I don't look at my scanner. I look at my second monitor. I run ProScan 24/7. The 200 has everything I want to look at first glance in Yellow. If everything was the same color it would all blend together. You easily get used to detail after the first hour. The 100 might be confusing if you carry it with the smaller screen but I have mine in detail also.

The scanner will show double favorites because it thinks the names are different and a favorite is being added. Check the option "Erase Favorites Lists On The Scanner" when writing to the scanner to prevent that or delete the favorite afterwards.

Correct JimD56, A little 7" monitor showing Unitrunker v2 (running off AirSpy SDR). I call it my "horizontal view", so I can see what is happening on the site while the scanner is stopped on another talkgroup.
How do you get that layout and colors with Unitrunker? I tried it about a year ago, and it looked nothing like yours. I run SDRTrunk. Great reception but I am not a fan of the layout, waterfall, etc.
