I've had one since day they were released. Definitely the most advanced scanner I've ever owned. The color screen is fully customizable and speaking of customizable it's the easiest P25 scanner to program IMO. This is a must have in Michigan!! USB-B port is both to charge And program.
Agreed. Especially if you live in a county with a simulcast system. I had a Whistler TRX-1 and it had trouble receiving Eaton County. I got this scanner, problem solved. A Unication G5 pager would work well too with simulcast, just lacks scanner features.
I agree with MiTreasureHunter. I've had one since they came out too and it's my most used radio. I have the EU/UK model, the trunking systems it supports aren't used here of course but most services have moved to DMR, which this does amazingly well. In hindsight I should have got the SDS200 since I rarely ever use it on the go. For any UK/EU readers, the built in database is of no use here as is usual with Uniden kit, but it's irrelevant, the programming software is free and easy to use. Since most of the UK private services have moved to DMR, this radio has made scanning fun again. It's a lot of money, but well worth it. Get one.
Just received this sds100 today off of Amazon. It works great right out of the box. My HP-2 was on and scanning while I was setting up the sds, then left ‘em both on. I found an interesting call so locked onto it and followed what happened to the kid who’s raft was capsized in a lake. Meanwhile the HP-2 just kept scanning for new calls. I immediately had an epiphany as soon as another call happened on the HP-2. With two similar scanners on at the same time I can now follow one call to completion without missing the other stuff going on out there. Having two scanners is a must. It just took me 45 years to figure that out.
Are you in NY? I assume you are. What else have you picked up in NY? Im on the Island and cant get Nassau. I can get some city stuff but, its a little far
I currently have a TRX-1 monitoring FDNY, 60 Control (Westchester), and Nassau as well as the CSX River Sub. I do plan on upgrading to an SDS100 as my TRX-1 started to break down.
I have this wonderful scanner but will be posting it for sale. Our public safety in our area went full encrypted for now. The issue to restore is underway. It does so much more, but that was my purpose when purchasing.
I enjoy my sds 100 too, but expensive with added features and programming an sd-card with area frequencies, back in late 2018 for about $1,000. However, where I am now, most police frequencies use encryption, so there is no point trying to receive them, but it amazing to see how scanners have changed since I first had a synthasized scanner from Bearcat in 1976, and the older types before that. Thank for the review.
See the problem is Ray, that people think the police and fire the end-all and be-all and they’re really not! And Seattle I’ve been able to pick up Pike Place Market Security it runs our local market in which I play! I’ve been able to pick up the ceiling bathrooms to do lotta security! You don’t really need the cops anymore!
Is the new version going to have a built in GPS! I'm wondering why the GPS wasn't included in a GPS based scanner. Even the cheapest cellphone has a GPS built in. How much would it cost to install a cellphone GPS at the factory?
I own a SDS100 and I am enjoying it tremendously. I just had a quick question... I am currently using the SDS100 with a Tram 1410 VHF/UHF Broadband Discone Base Antenna. This Antenna is mounted outdoor with a 75" digital coax cable connection. I'm not 100% sure if this is a good idea. Any thoughts on my set up is greatly appreciated. It seems to be picking up my local channels with great clarity (Fire, EMS, POLICE). However, I feel like I am possibly missing out on so much more. The full database is on, and my local favorites are also programed. I just think I should be picking up possibly a bit more. Thanks for your helpful videos. You Are Appreciated!
BCD 436 hp. Great radio. Black & white. Screen. Hard to see. . .find your channel you like then leave only. On your favorite. Channel. Inside. Not bad. Sds 100. Worth the extra money. Ok.
Just purchased mine two days ago from Bearcat warehouse and it was $70.00 cheaper than Amazon and Zip scanners both plus I got an extended warranty and preprogramming from them, and it was still cheaper than the final price of both of the other places. Only worry is the problem that they had with that bottom clip for the battery door. Have they fixed the problem that they had with it where it kept breaking and they did not have replacement parts to fix it?
hello, excellent video... one question... I live in Argentina and I can't enter my postal code... the question is... can it automatically scan everything that is in the air... do I need to enter my postal code?
Argentina is not included in the data base. You can enter your GPS location but without a data base for Argentina it is not going to work. The only way to make it to work, someone has to write a program and collect all the frequencies for Argentina with the GPS locations and postal code information. The north American version is using the Radio Reference database Canada and US only. Good luck! 👍
I had the uniden 125 at home. Picked up a lot, including close calls, but what I heard was just static noise. Not one voice could be heard. They said I had to buy another antenna. I think out of the box these things only work when you are at the airport, and not at home, even outdoors, at about 10 kilometers away from the airport. I was quite disappointed. Since my €.70 pl368 Tecsun picks up hundreds of channels inside the house, on its own antenna. (No airband though). I just expected to much of this scanner i guess.
Nice scanner for sure...it's really not the right tool for P25 II monitoring. While it does do this pretty well...the Unication G4 and G5 are far superior IMO and about half the size with better battery life for about the same money, maybe even less.
@@MatthewCrook yep, you can hold for a pre programmed amount of time or indefinitely depending on your preference. I also use priority while doing that so I still get priority traffic from other tgs while pausing to follow an incident or something.
The problem is people think the police and fire or the end-all and be-all and they really not! Even with a handheld UHF or VHFDMR radio I’ve been able to pick up Pike Place Market Security, and the sea alabaster‘s, which do security!
The main reason people get scanners is to monitor the police and one by one they're going encrypted. Even a lot of fire dispatch is encrypted now. And there will be a tidal wave of migration to LTE , especially for everything else that hasn't already switched to a cellular solution. That's why I'm done buying scanners. Every time I buy one they're obsolete within 6 months.
The problem is that people think the police and fire the end all and be all of Security in your area and I really not! For example in my area I could pick up Pike Place Market Security, and the Seattle ambassadors! They both do security and that’s just on a handheld DMR radio! You must’ve passed the police and fire!
The problem is that everybody thinks the police is the only thing important to listen to on the scanners even on my DMR radio I found two or three different security companies that use my area Pike Place market Security, and Seattle ambassadors! So the police and fire aren’t theend-all and be-all of, you know!
@@chadvandam7179 I know there are other things to listen to, but that is not what I bought mine for, I bought it so I could listen to PD/FD as it is busy around here. So since they went encrypted it just sat, so I traded it for a LDG AT-1000PRO II, to use with my IC-7300 and I am getting more use out of it, then the scanner. As I said nice scanner, just no longer fit's my needs.
A scanner is useless nowadays where I live. P25 and DMR Encryption is used so much now that the only thing you can hear is the city street sweeper. Blame the lawyers, they say.
So you just need to get DMR on the scanner cost you next hundred bucks maybe! But it’s possible! It’s very interesting even in my area with my any Tony 878 I can pick up Pike Place Market Security, and maintenance, and Seattle ambassador‘s! So maybe stuff in your area that maybe not the police but it still security that’s interesting!
Is fire EMS available most cities?? Nash police and BNA airport are blocked -ive been interested in getting sds for 3 years but keep putting it off because seems useless now - even if get police scans they exclude out tactical channels
Here all emergency services are p25 but only rarely encrypted. I would love a handheld option but I use a cheap little 20 buck sdr dongle and dsd plus on a computer. It easily decides p25. 600 dollars is just hard to justify to listen to emergency services for me.
Really wanted one but limited funds due to fixed income so I tried to trade for one with a guy in Iowa. He screwed me on the deal by sending me a cheap HT in trade and not the SDS 100. Kind of turned me off wanting one. Seems like a nice scanner but I also see a lot for sale used. Think they had a problem and many had to be sent back for repairs
What does low buss mean? I sometimes get an alert with a single beep that says low buss and then I constantly have to go in the settings and turn on the battery charging
Someone told me that if it is P25 phase 1 or 2, scanners are not allowed to decode this, or is that incorrect? Also, how can it find someone talking in the 900 MHz range on the ISM band, because that uses frequency hopping with a profile ID added.
I paid for the DMR upgrade on my 436 and it gets amateur DMR perfectly however I had to manually program a favorite list for Alabama DMR. I think I can submit it to radio reference and maybe they will add it to the main database.
The SDS100 and 200 do Not have any options available to decode D-Star. One thing you could do but it takes away from the portability is use a pc to decode. You would use the scanner as the source. a pc with soundcard and one of several free pieces of software would work to decode it. Then again you can do that with a $30 SDR dongle.
I realize that I'm referring to a GMRS handheld radio here, but B-Tech just came out with the GMRS-PRO. This radio can not only send and receive text messages but can even be programmed and UPDATED with an app in your phone and a Bluetooth connection. That's right, no computer, no software and NO programming cable needed. And did I mention that it has a built-in GPS and can send your position data over the air? And ALL of this in a radio that is analog, not digital. So what's my point? Those fancy overpriced digital scanners should've been programmable with a smartphone app and a Bluetooth connection A LONG TIME AGO. Uniden IS NOT taking advantage of available technology. For that matter, neither are the manufacturers of ham gear. Now you know why I WON'T buy an SDS-100, it's old technology.
$650 ...no thanks. You can get a basic ham transceiver for that. i guess the price doesn't matter to some. So many agencies are now encrypted. Thanks for the review. I do have a "not so advanced" Uniden BC125 analog scanner.
close call doesn't really like digital signal. I was able to do it but I essentially had to shove my dmr antenna into the sds100 antenna port to get it to work. I also tried p25 with my XTS 5000. same way, wouldn't work unless unless I shoved the antenna into the sds 100 antenna port.
I got a question if you can get one can you have a program because I don't know too much about programming stuff and doesn't pick up like a band one two and three and four too like the police use or what please let me know okay I like to get one but I like to have and somehow somebody else's program that for me okay thank you
This a great scanner hope you do more videos on the different features. I just bought one and run it all day long. Much easier to program. Thanks Eric for showing this! de N2XW
Yes. Microphone plugs into side of the unit. Since you're listening to the police, they ask that you try not to use microphone to talk to the police ....just listen unless it's an emergency then use microphone and state..."officer down 10-33!" As loud as possible.
Answere. Knob came off .? Knob fine. There be parts. Under sdss100 I saw e bay were. Selling. Knobs ordered one didn’t. Work. I’m sure there something under the knobs?. I didn’t want. Pay. .the radio sds. Works. Fine? You have the address to get fix. Or phone. ## about 2 years.sds 100. Tre your self. I have the knob. Must be a spring. Or.
Just too complicated. You would think with all the technology it has it would be simpler. The more technology something has, the harder it is to use. Hopefully, someday technology will actually make something easier to use. I also don't like the fact that it is so light. 25 years ago, we got new Motorola STX radios at work. They were police/fire grade, and would supposedly stop a bullet. You could also use them as a weapon. Yes I know they cost several times what this does, but a lot of that cost was due to the technology and capabilities of these radios at the time. It wasn't just because of the construction. Our company's radio tech said it only cost a couple hundred $$$ to put the guts of the radio in a new case.
What ever do you mean? It’ll work everywhere! I bet you could pick up Disneyland Security! The problem is the people think that the police and fire the end-all and be-all security in your area and they’re just not! For example in my area of Seattle I can pick up Pike Place market Security, and I can pick up the ceiling matters! Which much do security in my area it’s actually better than the police!
I bet you you’re wrong! If you go on the scanners could probably listen to local security just because it’s not a fire the police doesn’t mean you can’t figure out what’s going on in your neighborhood! People think the police and fire the end-all and be-all it’s just not true!
Just super glue the knob back on! What kind of thought process does that take! Or by another radio that’s broken for parts! I bet you could order another knob! You have so many options!
Are you still of the same view? Waste of money right - in TN one city is still unencrypted but all else is blocked. And i can get the unencrypted city i mentioned with scanner pro app anyways, which cost me peanuts

"Bigger than any handheld ham radio I've ever used." Now me and my IC-02AT feel old.

Only reason I (had to) return my 436HP and buy this is because this seems to be the *_only_* scanner that can handle simulcast.

Hi. Good informative video. Question: Can the SDS100 pick up Border Patrol frequencies ? Thank you
Most BP frequencies are encrypted as is most federal frequencies.
Will this pick up tower for aviation?

Kind of turned me off wanting one. Seems like a nice scanner but I also see a lot for sale used. Think they had a problem and many had to be sent back for repairs
Due to encryption a scanner is a waste for many. But thanks for the video.

Not sure
Did you pay for the DMR upgrade?
close call doesn't really like digital signal. I was able to do it but I essentially had to shove my dmr antenna into the sds100 antenna port to get it to work.
I also tried p25 with my XTS 5000. same way, wouldn't work unless unless I shoved the antenna into the sds 100 antenna port.
It will close call dmr repeater outputs not inputs or single freq works well for that
Ooooooo drool
what is trunking
$700 is a big price tag
I got a question if you can get one can you have a program because I don't know too much about programming stuff and doesn't pick up like a band one two and three and four too like the police use or what please let me know okay I like to get one but I like to have and somehow somebody else's program that for me okay thank you
It picks up PRETTY much EVERYTHING.

$650.00
Those scanners seem a little complicated to program
There is actually nothing to program just type in your zip code
Probably not unlocked
Probably wouldn't be worth buying in my area everything police wise is encrypted
I wish I had that police scanner sds100 can you get me one.
Does it have a provision for a hand held microphone?
Yes. Microphone plugs into side of the unit. Since you're listening to the police, they ask that you try not to use microphone to talk to the police ....just listen unless it's an emergency then use microphone and state..."officer down 10-33!" As loud as possible.
No audio
Review of 3 year old scanner. So confusing...
after all municipalities change to LTE all these scanners will become paperweight.
I GREW UP IN THE FIRE DEPT AND I HAVE POLICE INMY FAMILY AS WELL . I LIKE TO LISTEN TO FIRE CALLS AND EMS CALLS . I DO NOT CHASE AFER THEM .
Answere. Knob came off .? Knob fine. There be parts. Under sdss100 I saw e bay were. Selling. Knobs ordered one didn’t. Work. I’m sure there something under the knobs?. I didn’t want. Pay. .the radio sds. Works. Fine? You have the address to get fix. Or phone. ## about 2 years.sds 100. Tre your self. I have the knob. Must be a spring. Or.
Just too complicated. You would think with all the technology it has it would be simpler. The more technology something has, the harder it is to use. Hopefully, someday technology will actually make something easier to use. I also don't like the fact that it is so light. 25 years ago, we got new Motorola STX radios at work. They were police/fire grade, and would supposedly stop a bullet. You could also use them as a weapon. Yes I know they cost several times what this does, but a lot of that cost was due to the technology and capabilities of these radios at the time. It wasn't just because of the construction. Our company's radio tech said it only cost a couple hundred $$$ to put the guts of the radio in a new case.
Yep. This is why Butel software is a must.
If won't work in Florida HP
What ever do you mean? It’ll work everywhere! I bet you could pick up Disneyland Security! The problem is the people think that the police and fire the end-all and be-all security in your area and they’re just not! For example in my area of Seattle I can pick up Pike Place market Security, and I can pick up the ceiling matters! Which much do security in my area it’s actually better than the police!
Nice scanner but not for $650
Fazer apresentação de um rádio em inglês
Its English. Use english in the comments. Sitewide rules require English on video comments where the video is in English
Porque vc não fala em português
Meu deus
What is the price on this radio
Don't need it. Nothing to listen to around here.
I bet you you’re wrong! If you go on the scanners could probably listen to local security just because it’s not a fire the police doesn’t mean you can’t figure out what’s going on in your neighborhood! People think the police and fire the end-all and be-all it’s just not true!
Ho
Vc e a comédia
700 DOLLAR PAPER WEIGHT, THIS THING IS USELESS!!
why
Encryption
Horrible review, you clearly had no idea. Terrible.
Knob. Fell off. How to get a new one knob
Just super glue the knob back on! What kind of thought process does that take! Or by another radio that’s broken for parts! I bet you could order another knob! You have so many options!
Um.....eBay.
Knob just slides back on. 3d print one if you Need another one
Love mine it’s the best scanner that exists. De KC3NLS
I was going to buy one many years ago but I have been watching everything go encrypted. Figured the money would be better spent on a ham ht.
Are you still of the same view? Waste of money right - in TN one city is still unencrypted but all else is blocked. And i can get the unencrypted city i mentioned with scanner pro app anyways, which cost me peanuts
