UNdERSTANdING THE MEMORY
All of the information contained in the scanner is stored on a microSD card supplied with the
scanner. This includes Favorites Lists, all the radio settings,
and the Radio Reference database.
fAvORITES LISTS
Because the memory is based on the Radio Reference database we now have a different order of
organization not like banks and channels in traditional scanners, but more like Dynamic Memory
Architecture. You can now use Favorites Lists that follow RR database structure of Systems that
contain Departments that hold the Channels (conventional frequencies or IDs) and then there
are Sites to hold just the trunking frequencies. If you are familiar with DMA (Dynamic Memory
Architecture) scanners, think of departments as being like channel groups.
Favorites Lists will allow you to store channels you find when you are scanning from the full
database (the easiest way). They can contain channels from trunking systems and conventional
systems. You can also manually add systems, (not single sites), departments and channels into
Favorites Lists from the database as well as program new systems, departments, sites, and
channels with the Sentinel 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.
