Thank you for the reply back. I’m at a loss because if I’m scanning my
Favorites list, my scanner can sit silent for 5-6 minutes
Before anything comes up
Current favs:
HPD Central / Harris county PCT 1
Current Sites
Harris County Simulcast
Harris County Public Safey Sites
From what I understand, if you are trying to hear Houston's PD, you should be using the Houston sites in Layer 3, not the Harris County sites in layer 1.
See this
article in the Wiki. I would also suggest that you request your thread be moved to the Texas forum. Several Houston metro area members check that forum and post there. They would know the system setup better than someone not from the area. [FONT="]To do that, do
not create a new thread. Instead, click on the red outlined triangle in the upper right corner of your original post, and request that a moderator move your thread to the Texas state forum. Someone in the area would be more likely to see it there.
You might also attach your Favorite's list to a post there. So that someone can take a look and perhaps spot an error or omission.
To do that, export[/FONT] each Favorite as an 8.hpe file, using Sentinel. The export function is under the File menu. Note that if you have made changes on the scanner, that are not in Sentinel, then first 'read' the scanner into Sentinel to capture the changes before exporting.
Note: To upload an *.hpe file, to the Forums, you must change the file extension to one acceptable per forum requirements. To do that, note where your exported *.hpe file is saved on your PC.
Using Windows Explorer, find the file.
There are two ways to do this. You can either change the file extension itself, or compress the file using
7-Zip or other file utility. The *.zip file extension can be attached to a post and uploaded to the Forums.
Or, using Windows Explorer, rename your file one of these two ways:
For illustration, let's call your exported file '
MyFile.hpe' (without the quotes).
<Right><Click> on the file & choose Rename from the pop-up menu.
You can then rename your file to
MyFile.txt, or
MyFile.hpe.txt in order to attach it to a post. Whoever views the file will need to reset the file name back to
MyFile.hpe, then it can be imported into Sentinel for viewing.
