Hi Greg, i apologize for the delay getting back to you... I'm managing a family emergency at the moment. I just wanted you to know I'm not ignoring you. More to come when I get a break!

Hey there, I'm not 100% sure I understand your question so I'll apologize in advance if I don't give you the exact guidance you were asking for. Also, all my settings for Quick Keys are done on the Scanner itself. I am not seeing a mechanism for creating Quick Keys in Sentinel. I'm not saying it can't be done, it's just something I've never done with Sentinel. That said, on the scanner itself: Quick Key status is a list of assigned quick keys and is also provides a second place you can select a Quick Key and toggle it on or off. System Quick Keys is just a list of quick keys you can consult if you happened to forget what Key was assigned to what Favorite. it is just a list though, you can't toggle anything on or off. I don't think that's a complete answer to your question but I'm hoping it's close. Andrew

The manual says not to ride it in the rain... I haven't, but if I do, I'll put a baggie over the control panel to keep it dry. The charge port is just below the foot deck, so there is the potential of moisture getting in if the rubber plug works it's way loose. On riding in snow, I wouldn't, but if you decide to give it a try, let me know how it goes!

Hummm... not sure what the brick is, sorry!

Hi, what you do is upload from the scanner to Sentinel first. That way you have the favorites you made directly on the scanner, in your Sentinal file. Then you can download everything (the favorites you made on the scanner plus the ones compiled in Sentinel) all together. Another option is to make your new favorites in Sentinel and make sure the option to overwrite existing favorites on the scanner is NOT selected. I like saving everything I made on the scanner to Sentinel though because that way you always have a back up. I hope this helps.

You're welcome... it can be tricky!

You make valid points. I think they are probably basing their price on the overall form factor. I agree that the latch would have benefited from being metal. Thus far though, it has served us well for carry in environments where firearms are prohibited.

The plastic latch will not brake if you close it correctly You basically would have to be slamming it.

​@@Dennis-p2lgood to know, thank you!

Thank you for the feedback... to turn off quick keys and return to normal scanning, press the menu button, select Set Scan Selection by pressing the vol/sq knob, klick the knob a second time to select Manage Quick Key Status, click the kbob again to select Favorites Quick Key. Then scroll down to the Quick keys you want to turn off and click the knob to toggle them off. Then all you have to do is assure the Favorites you want to scan are turned on and you'll be back to normal scanning. I hope this helps!

@@ResearchReviews thank you very much for your help

My pleasure! Sorry for the delay getting back to you... I was away from my scanner :)

​@@ResearchReviews excellent video on how to setup quick keys, but I'm still confused on how to turn them off and go back to scanning everything. I did what you mentioned above, but when I back out it tells me there is "nothing to scan". I verified that my System to scan is in fact set to ON under "select lists to monitor".

​@@brandonh9106​ Hi, you might double check under Select Service Types, that the service types used in your Favorites are turned on... that's what first pops up in my mind. I hope that helps!

Thank you, and yes, I'm out on the west side of the west side! I haven't delved into the upgrades so I can't give you a lot of detail on their value. I did do a little research on Provoice though, since you called it out specifically. Uniden is offering an upgrade running about $50, if my sourced are correct, which isn't horrible, depending on how much you have to invest. One source mentioned reports of some decoding issues, but didn't know if patches or fixes have been pushed. Both did mention Provoice may be becoming obsolete and could be phased out eventually. There was no timeline or any solid plans mentioned for a phase out, but it could be something to consider. Ultimately, it comes down to how it's being used in your area and how much you want to focus on those services. I hope this helps!

@@ResearchReviews that did help thank you!

Thank you very much... K7AXZ!

Hi, the Taser Plus is still listed on the Taser website for $400, but they say it is out of stock. I have heard the model may have been discontinued, but since it's still on their product lineup, it makes the rumor inconclusive.

I'm glad it was helpful! K7AXZ!

Thank you so much... I'm glad they were helpful!

Awesome... I'm glad the video was helpful!

I must have had some spillage in transit. Happy birthday... I hope you enjoy your scooter... I'm loving mine!

Thank you... I will keep that in mind for future evals :)

I ended up custom making a kydex and really like it!

Amazon has the holster.

Thank you... I'm glad it was helpful!

Good choice!

Well thank you... I think!

@@ResearchReviews John Waters is a legend. He's very, colorful. Not for everyone, but worth looking into.

Many settings, mostly relating to favorites, are easiest to do using the software on a PC. I'm not absolutely certain, but I believe device specific settings, like setting the screen from color to mono as an example, have to be done directly on the device.

My apologies for delaying my response... I'm away from home at the moment and don't have access to my computer, so I'm going on memory. If by "channels", you mean specific services, like 7 small cities in your county, or perhaps only 7 services in a small city... police, ems, fire, public works and such... then generally yes, you can make a favorite selecting those specific services, and not have to have your listening cluttered with other unwanted county services. If you meant by "channels", actual specific frequencies... that's a trickier proposition, especially with trucked systems, because frequencies change with system usage. But even then, that should be possible, though I've never done that, so it lies beyond my knowledge base. I'm guessing you were talking about services within a county (small city police and ems as an example). In those cases, yes, you should be able to build a favorite list with just the services you are interested in.

I'm glad it helped!

Possibly so... my issue wasn't necessarily with any one of the problems I encountered... it was one problem, then another, then another... I just decided I was unwilling to deal with another "I'm sorry, we ran into another problem". I've had other viewers mention they have made the switch with no problems at all, which I'm glad for... I wouldn't wish my experience on anyone. I suspect if I was starting afresh with Comcast, with no services to switch over, my experience would have been much better. Given my experience though, I'm Verizon forever :)

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. You should be able to find Sentinel at: info.uniden.com/twiki/bin/view/UnidenMan4/BCD436HP Click on BCDx36HPSentinel to download.

I did not see any out of plum adjustments... you pretty much have one shot to get it right without turning your tile into Swiss Cheese :)

Hi Joaquin, I've never tried assigning quick keys to SO's and DOs, and my understanding is that you can't. I haven't found any information to the contrary. As for assigning quick keys within a favorite... I haven't done that either, but I did do some research, and apparently it is possible. The process I turned up is below... I haven't tested it personally, but this is what I was told: Yes, you can assign quick keys to individual departments within the same favorite list on the Uniden SDS100 scanner. This allows you to quickly enable or disable specific departments without affecting the entire favorite list. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it: 1. **Access the Menu:** - Press the **Menu** button on your SDS100. 2. **Select Favorites Lists:** - Navigate to **Manage Favorites** and select the favorite list where you want to assign quick keys to departments. 3. **Edit the Favorite List:** - Choose **Review/Edit System** to access the systems within the favorite list. 4. **Select the System:** - Select the system containing the departments you want to assign quick keys to. 5. **Access Department Settings:** - Choose **Edit Department** to view the list of departments within the system. 6. **Assign Quick Keys:** - Select the department you want to assign a quick key to. - Navigate to **Set Quick Key** and assign a quick key number (0-99) to the department. 7. **Repeat for Other Departments:** - If you have multiple departments, repeat the above steps to assign quick keys to each one as needed. 8. **Save and Exit:** - Once you have assigned quick keys to all desired departments, exit the menu and ensure your changes are saved. **Using Quick Keys:** - To enable or disable a department, simply press the **quick key number** on the keypad followed by the **.No** (decimal point) key. For example: - If you assigned quick key 1 to a department, pressing `1.` will toggle the department on or off. This setup allows for efficient scanning and management of departments within a favorite list on your Uniden SDS100.

@@ResearchReviews This is great Andrew thank you! I'll give it a go tomorrow and get back to you on how well the procedure worked. Many thanks! Vry 73 de Joaquin

Hi... I'm not aware of a setting that does exactly what you're asking, but assigning quick keys might sort of accomplish what you are looking to do. I made a short video on quick keys you can check here for guidance on that: ruclips.net/video/kmLMNjbXO24/видео.htmlsi=j2mYsl3hmdF5RmWD

I haven't educated myself on dmr keys but I can tell you that quick keys are just a convenience, not a necessity. I hope that helps!

Hi. I'm sorry you've been having difficulties here. Sometimes the technical aspects of getting these Scanners set up can be challenging. I'm thinking in your case, hands on support might be helpful. I did some asking around for options for you, and did get a couple of ideas to consider. One was to touch bases with a local computer repair shop and ask them if they could set things up for you. A second idea was similar... to touch bases with one of the larger tech stores, like Best Buy, who runs their tech support Geek Squad, and see if they can offer you some assistance. I hope one of these ideas can get your scanner up and running!

Hi, I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question... my apologies :)

Thank you... I'm glad the information was useful.

I haven't done any software updates, so this is just a guess. I'd do the upgrade and then do a read from your scanner. I'm thinking that should load all your scanner info into the new version of software. Let me know if that works.

Hi... I'm guessing the menus on the SDS100 and 200 are the same... I'd check to make sure you have the service types turned on for the favorites you want to hear. That's my best guess... I hope it helps!

I'm sorry, I don't know where it was manufactured.

The effect of pepper sprays and gels varies with the individual... some people are very sensitive and can be incapacitated within seconds. Others who are less sensitive may only be affected with discomfort and not be incapacitated at all. What I suggest is that people spray and run, as you won't know how sensitive the person is to the spray until you actually use it. The most important thing to remember is that no non lethal weapon can guarantee 100% incapacitation, 100% of the time. If a spray or anything else you might use can distract an assailant long enough for you to escape, it has done its job.

Awesome! I really like mine... stay safe!

@@ResearchReviews me to i dont have a holster i have it in my pocket as the handle showing is that ok to have that way?

Thank u me to same to u

It will probably be OK, but there us the possibility that if the grip safety somehow got depressed, you could end up with a pocket of pepper gel. You'll want to be very careful. I'm planning on making a kydex holster for mine :)

Thank you for your comment... in my case, I had an exceptionally bad experience, I hope yours continued to be satisfactory :)

Darn... I'm sorry for the difficulty you're having. One thing you might check is under Service Types, make sure the service types for the other favorite lists are turned on.

I'm glad you had a good outcome... I wouldn't wish my experience on anyone!

Thank you!

My pleasure!

I'd say it would be iffy. If you turned the power down to the lowest setting, it might be ok. It's something you might need to test. I know mine unsupressed at full power echos through the neighborhood and sounds like a 22!

Thank you for the tip! Comments like yours help me learn new things!

Feel free to ask your SDS100 question here. I'll answer as best I can :)

I live in Washington too. I have different police talk groups programmed in Wa state patrol Kent police and so on. All of a sudden nothing from Kent police for weeks. I'm wondering if they changed the one main trunking frequency . I have updated data and firmware. Still no Kent. It scans it but no calls come through.Any ideas?@@ResearchReviews

I'm going through you videos now to see if i can figure it out. Thank you very much for your videos! They are very helpful.

I fine mine is reasonably accurate with my scope ( I had problems with the stock sights). I do only shoot at about 25' because I do so in my garage. I don't have an environment to test it beyond that range. I can easily shoot rapidly and unsupported within 3" and supported slow fire patterns less than an inch. Not horribly bad for bb's :) I've never fired it until it was completely out of battery but they advertise 1000 rounds per charge which would be 20 mags... perhaps another viewer out there has an exact number?

I'm trying to re-create the issue you are describing but am not able to. I have one guess as to why. If you programmed favorite lists manually into the radio before using Sentinel, and later updated your firmware and database without first reading from the radio and saving your manually entered Favorites, Sentinel would overwrite your previously built favorites if "Erase Favorites Lists on Scanner" was selected when you wrote the database to your scanner. If you created and saved your Favorites with Sentinel, I'm afraid I don't know what would have caused them to be deleted.

I did a reset on the scanner, That helped get anything back, Now I back scanning...

Awesome... glad to hear it!

You are very welcome... it was a significantly screwed up experience I wouldn't wish on anyone!

Ditto!
