Hi Folks, Just received my SDS200 yesterday and have been comparing it to my other scanners / VHF transceivers. My reference target is a transmitter that is 46 air miles away over VERY flat terrain.

My view: the SDS100 is a good scanner wrapped in great eye-candy. You’ll find functionality similar to the 436/536 line. On the downside, you will find it to have significantly less sensitivity

Hi, the sds100 is expensive, but you simply type in the zip code and all the available frequency's auto program. Any where I've traveled, it has programed properly. You can also buy the GPS option and

SDS100 does everything better especially the range! I can pickup outlying areas in town no problem!

... also, who outside of Uniden knows what's in store for the future of the SDS series. My thought is that the x36 series is already tapped out as far as future *features* go. Dewey

I think you'll get differing opinions, but my personal opinion, worth what you're paying for it, is that the SDS' biggest, biggest, biggest, biggest difference is the simulcast reception, what the SDS

I like it. I largely bought it for one system. I used to work for Southern California Edison - the electric utility for most of southern California. I ran their trunked system for the last 8.5

Hi Jim, What’s your opinion of the SDS100? What’s the difference between it and my 436/536/TRX-1/TRX-2. Like I need another scanner. Regards, Joey VA3GOC, VE3XMU

P25 Phase II is TDMA. AFAIK Motorola never made a TDMA Type II system. Type II and Phase II are not the same thing. Joe M.

It appears both the City and County of San Diego are using both Phase I and Phase II. (The city's Phase II is actually a Motorola Type II, but this is a P25 compatible system.) Most operations seem to

Although you do have to be aware of whether P25 phase 1 or 2 is being used. If phase 1 is being used, it’s worth checking whether there are plans to switch to phase 2. Steve

You can review the database online at RadioReference.com to see what is available, what is encrypted and match that to what your scanner is capable of presenting to you. Rick

You don't specify which scanners, but I assume the database-driven scanners like HomePatrol-1/2 and newer models. Short answer is yes, as long as it supports the P25 system, at the very least.

Hi Everyone, I've been disconnected from all the groups for some time now and I've a few questions. 1st. Do scanners still work as intended in San Diego County and vicinity(s) 2nd. If

Hello, Please where are you i need you to do me a favor. Please reply when you get this. Regards, Jim

The TSMC plant in Phoenix is scheduled to begin bulk chip production in 2024.

About 10 months or longer ago, didn’t I hear about some chip manufacturer building a new facility in the southwest or something? I’ll bet that deal flew the coop with Keystone.

Impact so far: $110 billion Chip Shortage Impact Surges to $110 Billion, Study Reveals - The Detroit Bureau Guessing Uniden might be caught up in it as well for manufacturing and service.

I read that Ford has closed two assembly lines and laid off over a 1,000 workers. That's for the F150, which is probably their most popular model. The problem is that they can't get enough chips for
