Favorites Lists from the database as well as program new systems, departments, sites, and channels with the Sentinal software.

You can save up to 256 different lists in the scanner (and software) and associate them with any or all of your profiles. You can monitor one or more lists at a time and/or the database. You can also export you lists to a file to share them. Deleting a profile will not delete the lists associated with a profile. However, deleting a Favorites List will delete it from all profiles.

Systems

Systems will hold all of your Sites, Departments, and Channels.

Trunking Sites

Inside systems are trunked sites hold the trunking frequencies for any trunking system and any band plan information needed. You will need at least one site for each trunked system and some systems can have several sites.

Departments

Departments are also created inside systems. Departments hold frequencies (channels) for conventional systems and IDs (also called channels) for trunked systems.

Sentinel Software

Manage Profiles

Profiles are “snapshots” of your scanner’s set up. A profile contains all your configuration settings as well as all of your Favorites Lists, Avoids, and System settings. Sentinel can save multiple profiles so you can also restore different profiles as you need them. For example, If you regularly visit a specific location, you can create a profile for that location. You can save it to Sentinel to use whenever you visit.

Manage Favorites Lists

You can create Favorites Lists in Sentinel and then associate them with specific profiles. Sentinel allows you to create your own systems, or edit systems already in a Favorites list. These systems can include information not provided by the weekly database downloads. When those profiles are written to your scanner, only specified Favorites Lists are written to the scanner.

Manage Databases

Uniden updates the Database used in your scanner every week. You can decide how often you want to update the databases on your scanner. When you update them through Sentinel, it checks the website for the most current database and saves it in Sentinel. When you select Write to Scanner, the new database is updated in the scanner.

Share Favorites Lists

Create and share Favorites lists with your friends or others in the HomePatrol® Community at http://www.HomePatrol.com and the HomePatrol Twiki site at http://info.uniden.com/HomePatrol for Favorites Lists that cover common services such as Railroad, Marine Radio, Civilian and Military Air bands, and more.
