@@miaminarc If you were on our email list it would be the first thing you see, Miami Narc

@@Zipscanners1 The last thing I need is to be on another mailing list.

Thanks, dude is annoying.

Hoping the SDS200 was a good fit for you. You can always reach out with any questions you have.

Glad to hear it!

Hello Antonio, right! The Close Call basically will pick up any frequency that is close to you.

You can skip all that and we'll do it for you here: www.zipscanners.com/products/police-scanner-programming

Thanks for the view!

I agree, and commented above, he was extremely condescending, arrogant and sarcastic.

You would need to ensure scanner is on and enable mass storage mode.

You're welcome!

If you don't want the scanner to scan for the full database then you would need to program with a favorite list.

@@Zipscanners1 I do have a favorite list, currently for Houston PD. But when I fire up the scanner, the first thing it does is download the national database. Grrr.

@@Zipscanners1 I DO have a favorite list. But when I fire up the scanner it automatically loads the HUGE national data base. Is there a way to keep that from happening?

At least, I downloaded the latest firmware and data, and it still works, so at least I didn't break anything, seems like so far.

Great!

Why do you have to remove the memory card from the scanner before running the sentinel software. Is this really necessary?

Please email us at zip@zipscanners.com and our team can help troubleshoot this for you

I had this happen with my first Favorites list also ... I'm not sure what, of the things I did, fixed it but there IS a way !!

Hey Crystal, feel free to call us at 737-777-9876 and our scanner expert can try and help you with that.

Hey there - there's a couple things that could be wrong. Ramsey and Hennepin both use Simulcast, so that could be why they're not coming up as known frequencies, OR the database isn't up to date, OR both. We recommend returning your BCD436HP for a simulcast capable scanner (maybe programmed by us next time :P)

@@Zipscanners1 well first off, I don't want these unknown channels on my favorites list, second simulcast serves what purpose exactly when it comes to the function of my scanner?

Sentinel would be for the newer models. The Scanner itself does not require programming.

Thanks Danny, we are still making videos and tutorials that we will start uploading soon.

Hey Thomas. Please call us at 737-777-9876 and we will be happy to help with that.

Sweet!

You basically add all the departments and sites you want from the main database to the your favorites list.

Lots of ways to set this up.

@@Zipscanners1 What is a way that incorporates what I pointed out?

Super easy to just do that. Update firmware and database. I just like to listen to FD and a few other channels where I live. I have my favorites but I always have database on it when traveling. GPS on my 536hp does great!!!

Hey Robert, thank you for the feedback! You can export the file as an hpe file into a trusted folder of your computer. You would need a Windows OS for that: MAC won't work.

You can download the programming software so you can get those updated. We also offer programming if you're interested.

Please call us at 737-777-9876 and we will be happy to help with that.

You can reach out to us and we will be happy to assist or point you in the right direction.

Welcome 👍

We only sell the 820S. The only Remtronix SMA antenna we sell is the o-ring.

@@Zipscanners1 Ok, thanks for responding. Fyi, your item description does not specify which one I am buying, only that they are the same except for the o-ring. I just ordered one though. 😁

@@Mr.Smith101 We'll fix that. Thanks for the heads up!

You might have to format the SD card using the sentinel software. You can also try an SD card reader instead of the scanner itself.

That would be due to signal strength. I wideband antenna might do it for you.

Yes, you will have to follow the instructions provided by Uniden and install .NET Framework.

The SDS100 does not have a quick key feature - you go to Menu > Set scan selection > Select lists to monitor and turn them on or off there

Hey Rick! Please reach out to us with your order information and our experts will be happy to point you in the right direction. You can schedule a call in the link below: calendly.com/zipscanners/30min?back=1&month=2023-03

Usually we have the device off because we just connect the SD card straight to the laptop with an adapter.

Unfortunately, Uniden notes windows only.

.NET means that you need to update your Windows.

Heads up, the 64GBs do not have FAT32 as an option; therefore, we have a GUIformat software to remedy this problem.

.NET framework means that you need to update your Windows

We wish as well :(

You can use Bootcamp to install Windows on the Mac.

No we are not

@@Zipscanners1 It would be really nice if you took the time to give more than yes or no answers. Unless you have severe autism or something, you should already know this. Most normal people would have answered more like this- "No. We took the SD card out of the scanner and hooked it up to our computer, but you don't have to do that. You can keep the card in the scanner and use the data cable to connect it to your computer." I was going to buy programming from you, but after the grade school level presentation and the lack of common sense in the comment section, I'm going elsewhere.

Hello! Having the "Monitor Full Database" checked allows the device to monitor all of the US, while checking "Monitor Search With Scan" allows the device to receive channels by zip code or GPS.

Hey Leslie, it sounds like you need a more current version of windows !

Leslie Summerfield , did you get it figured out? I had the same problem.

Depending on your version of Windows, you have to go into settings and activate the 2.0

@@Zipscanners1 I have the same problem and I just bought my laptop. I believe it came with Windows 10. Should we go ahead and download the .NET Framework?

Yes, when we delete things in Sentinel, it is to help pinpoint and only get what you specifically want to monitor.

Hey Wendy, the point of using the Sentinel software to program the scanner is removing the frequencies you are not interested in and keeping only the ones you really want to monitor.

You can't manually input the frequencies in your computer without the software but yes you can modify the name of the frequencies in the Sentinel software.

Yes, this how it works! You would be needing a Windows operating system.

You will have to make sure that the favorites list is turned on first. If you still have Monitor Full Database and Search With Scan on, then the device will prioritize those two settings instead of the list you made.

@@Zipscanners1 Thank You, after you get used to things this is by far the easiest way to program.

Yep, that's correct.

The range Close Call works at depends on the strength of the signal

I’m talking real world application. You’re talking best case scenario, not practical.

@@miaminarc I'm in the business of best case scenario and it's not practical to feed the narc.

Not recommended

Look for a Windows update for your computer's operating system.

Nope

Hey there, we offer scanner programming services! We use the sentinel software to program in all your areas of interest

Kind of like think of a tree. Many branches going all into one huge tree. So, many frequencies and going into one system.

No, only Windows Operating System.

No you do not

@@Zipscanners1 Do you have a tutorial on how to stream the SDS200 to youtube or facebook?

I personally haven't seen asterisks in the software, but I assume it would signify encryption or partial encryption

@@Zipscanners1 The asterisk indicates that the quickey is locked out.

Google "Sentinel" software. And it will give the option to download.

Yes, I second Ron & Ellen. Google "Uniden Sentinel"

We are sorry if the programming guide is not clear. We will be updating our videos later this year. You can also contact us directly if you want us to program a scanner for you.

This program works only with PC computers, not apple products. Hope this helps! -Samuel with Zip Scanners

@@Zipscanners1 So my Tim Apple PC will not work? So sad, a sad little apple. On another note. My scanner will be here tomorrow.

Noted for future videos! Sorry for the inconvenience. This might not fix everything, but you can change play speed on the toolbar. Hope this helps!

We're a company, sir. We exchange goods for money.

We'll be sure to water everything down for you, Brian.

Okay thank you.

Glad it helped!
