Re: Uniden Sentinel missing some CA Trunked systems?

Bryan Herbert
 

Motorola Type II Smartnet is a mixed system that supports analog FM and P25 Phase 1 digital. Its been supported by every trunktracking scanner made in the last 20 years.

First one is a Smartnet digital system. Not sure what type of digital that is, but it's not P25 which means it's not supported by the scanner.

Yes, it is, and it might be VSELP digital.

Regardless, it's not a system that appears to be accurately
listed. Half of the TGs are also listed as encrypted.

Doing the above both will be usable by Sentinel. If this is not
possible, there is no point in Sentinel showing systems you cannot monitor.

These two are the (relatively old) LA County REACT trunked system and

however, I can program the systems directly into my SDS 100 and 200
scanners with no problems. There may be other systems like those as well.

I contacted Uniden support in June of this year. They weren't aware of
the issue upon my call. They verified the issue and they said they
would look into it. I've seen no change since then.

Both of these systems appear in the download for the EZ-Scan software
used for Whistler scanners and program automatically just fine.

Can anybody confirm this anomaly? Or perhaps the systems are "somewhere
else" in the Sentinel database other than where they would ordinarily
appear? Or am I doing something wrong? Does this occur, routinely or
intermittently, with other systems, trunked or conventional? Or?

Thanks,

How To Boost Scanner Antennas
Scanner antennas receive signals across a wide range of frequencies. Scanner antennas include police scanners, wi-fi scanners, search-and-rescue communication equipment and amateur radio scanners that seek out any signal. Scanner antennas may be used by those who wish to listen in or so that parties like first responders can respond to it. A scanner antenna’s signal reception can be improved by reducing its interference, strengthening its signal, and increasing its sensitivity and range.
Here is how to do it

Marshall,

I use the ARC programs and Sentinel for my HP 1 & 2 radios(ARCPatrol) and my 436HP(ARC436/536). They both have advantages and disadvantages. They reside and play well together on my Windows10 laptop. I frequently have both running at the same time.

 

You need to use Sentinel to update the RR Database in the program and the radio.

 

While it can be done in Sentinel, I find the ARC program easier to create, update and edit my favorite lists.

 

You can download and try the ARC programs for free -limited time and functions.

 

Hope this helps.

Re: ARC536 Comments please

JD
 

You asked for comments regarding ARC Butel so here is mine, altho not what some would like to hear. Really the only major problem I have ever had with a company regarding my scanning hobby. Long story short - I bought the full pro version of ARC500 for my Whistler 1065 radio, basically for the virtual control on my computer. Let me say here that I have bought their product 7 (seven) different times for various scanners and was always satisfied. I ran into a glitch, could not get the virtual radio on my screen no matter how I tried. I contacted Butel, the guy in the Radio Reference forums and outlined my problem. He told me to do what i had already done. I did, and no go, so he said I needed to reinstall my drivers. Done. Nada. Then the guy just actually ignored me. Would not answer private messages. A very demeaning and immature response. I have went with ProScan and immediately regretted not doing so  before. So my comment on ARC/Butel is not so good. Personally I boycott their products now and always suggest ProScan. Compare them yourself. ProScan blows ARC out of the water, price-wise, performance, and the customer service is fantastic. You won't be disappointed,.
