Probably just one of the random glitches in the automated process that happens randomly but infrequently. Nothing to worry about. Latest update was 1/02/22.
Doc and his red pen strike again! haha. While we're at it I believe the OP also means "memo"
No issues for me. Next update should be Monday

I really haven't seen Doc's red pen a lot lately LOL. Come on doc . So poster if it helps to put things in perspective. All my radios are programmed for what they hear. It's very pertinent and accurate to what I need to know. I will admit I do database updates. I'm going to say twice a year but I think it's about once a year now as I have not changed a thing on my radios and nothing on my systems have changed. Firmware ?... I would do once a week but the last one we had was April 2019.
There has been a firmware update recently, whenever, who cares, but that was for new radios who will be having different components and hardware updates and that doesn't involve me unless Uniden has a repair campaign for free which I can guarantee you from what I've heard from Uniden, ain't going to happen.

If I had to guess, my 1st call would be to Xfinity.

Will there be a Sentinel update this week? Yesterday was martin Luther King Day/Betty White's Birthday so perhaps it will be late?

The process of RR updates being pulled by the Uniden servers on Sundays and formatted for download through Sentinel on Mondays is normally an automated, scheduled process that doesn't require human intervention. There are occasional glitches in that system that prevent the automated task from starting or completing. When that happens, a human can (and has on several occasions) manually triggered the update during the following week. If that doesn't occur, the automated process should happen again on the next Monday.
I noticed the same here.

What does your Sentinel show for the date of the latest database update?

It should have been updated this past Monday (1/17/2022), but the process didn't occur. You got an update because you hadn't already updated to 1/09/2022 - which was last week's update.

Has anyone noticed there was no Radio Refernce Database update this past week for Sentinel? When trying update the master database through Uniden's Sentinel app it says the current database I have loaded dated 1/9/2022 is the most current. I am trying to figure out if it's a problem with my version of Sentinel or Unidens servers or if anyone else is having this issue?
