Re: Newbie question
kc1jmz@...
Thanks for this. If you don’t mind my asking, how do you know? I went thru the manual again and found 1item that mentions “dim” and it was a menu item. Is there some other reference material I haven’t found that contains it? Thanks!

Newbie question
kc1jmz@...
OK, got one for Christmas. I would rather use the 12V bus in my shack than put in one more noisy wall wart. So I have the mobile wiring harness in my hand and it has 3 wires, red, black and orange. Looks like the orange is a second hot but the connector on the back of the unit says “PWR-ORNG-GND” which is not particularly helpful when I’m trying to figure out what connections to make. I have found nothing in the manual?
What have I missed? Thanks, /Ted - KC1JMZ

It's the Alert Light you want to set in the channel options.

Color programmable LED
I feel a bit foolish posting this query for the second time in view of user Joe M's kindness in having responded to me initially. That said I've been trying for weeks to engage the color programmable LED to no avail. It's probably simple as heck but it's got me stymied. I watched a lengthy YouTube video which presents itself as a Sentinel software overview and while it's comprehensive it didn't outline the procedure for engaging this feature. Likewise the email address they provide for correspondence has elicited no response to my question. I get to the page represented by the attached screenshot and find that everything on that page is grayed out preventing me from enabling the LED for programming. Yet, on a different page in the Sentinel program I was able to assign colors by preference to those entities which interest me which led me to think that I finally figured it out. No....I still can't get the LED to blink or stay lit during transmissions.
I'm certain everyone seeing this has figured it out and having no wish to belabor the issue or worse bore others on this thread I would request that any help anyone might care to provide would be sent to me directly at "n7rsn@...". Many thanks. Rick

Re: Signal interruptus
I do have WX priority enabled which I will disable immediately. The flashing I can live with but not the broken transmissions. Regarding the alert light settings I now have some direction and I thank you very much for all Joe!

The P25/DTA/LNK will flash as a system is scanned. This is normal.
Be sure you have disabled: WX Priority, Channel Priority, and Close Call, as those will also create gaps. The alert light can be found under the Alert Light settings in Sentinel or in the menu.

Signal interruptus
I'm still learning the intricacies of this fine receiver. I have likewise downloaded and studied the "easier to read manual" but haven't yet discovered the reason why the "P25/DATA/LINK" screen icon continues to blink. It does so when there are no signals as well as when there are resulting in broken or interrupted transmissions. I've also not been able to determine the procedure for assigning different colors to the LED in the top left corner of the front panel; nothing fancy...blue for police, red for fire etc.
Any help or direction as to where these things may be found in the "easier to read" manual would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

New user, likely old questions.
Can someone please explain for me the procedures for
1 - personalizing the start up message 2 - assigning differing screen colors to the "system", "department" and "channel" portions of the main screen screen 3 - customizing the colors of the flashing LED above the "PUSH/FUNC" for separate agencies I've read and re-read the manual but haven't found these answers. Any help will be sincerely appreciated. Thanks

Re: The so called noise or hum depressor. SDS200 Noise Mitigation with Factory Part

It may not matter, as it is the same thickness either way. If I was pushed into an answer, I would say the one the factory installed is correct. But again, it may not matter.

The so called noise or hum depressor. SDS200 Noise Mitigation with Factory Part
Mark Bradley
Question.....I saw the video on replacing the little square tin with copper on it.OK,the video showed the person putting the SDS200 Noise Suppressor Piece,he put it on with the TIN side up. OK,I took my scanner apart to see if it had it in there,and yes it did. But one problem,,,,this is put in with the COPPER side up.OK,which way does it go?????????I see it was done on mine,and also no scraping of the foam or rubber seal with the Uniden Buzz Be Gone Fix. I ordered one of those Buzz Be Gone Eliminator Fix Parts,I was going to put it 3 inches over from the other side for double BUZZ be gone fix,I will put it with the Copper side up,like the other side.I am curious if any one knows the CORRECT WAY to install the Metal,Copper tab.Thank you for your time,I appreciate this as I am wanting to know,the correct way. Have a great evening,,,Mark

Re: How to set up a Radio ID to a Specific Tag Display
Yes. Each system has a settings for Units. That is where you put
the RID and any Alphanumeric you want.

Yes, it is possible. You program the Radio IDs under Unit IDs.

How to set up a Radio ID to a Specific Tag Display
PoliceScanner nut
Hello,
I have not yet purchased my SDS 200 scanner and wondered if it is possible to tag a radio ID? In other words, when say radio ID 25398653 keys up, it will display "Police Car 25" instead of the radio ID. I currently own a Uniden 396XLT and this works if you enter the radio ID in a group in the same system and assign the radio ID to the nomenclature as "Police Car 25". Is this possible with the SDS 200? If so, how can this be done? Thanks for your help! Marvin
