SCANNER FOR CHRISTMAS - TROUBLE PROGRAMMING?

 Hello and Welcome Back... Did Santa Bring you a New Scanner for Christmas?

If your having trouble programming your new toy, your not alone. It took me a few months to get my head around programming my 436PT Uniden Scanner and the Software program that goes with it.. 'Sentinal'

I have been using scanners since 1986 and even i was having problems...

The Good News is, my headaches can be your gain as i now offer Full Programming of several Radio Scanners

What i offer is FULL Scanner Programming, meaning, everything you can think of* is programmed into your radio, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy...

UNIDEN SDS100 - AN OVERVIEW

Hello and Welcome Back... I Recently had the chance to play with a Uniden SDS100 Handheld Receiver..

Here are my Thoughts...

The SDS100 Scanner Receiver from Uniden is a Hybrid between Conventional Scanning Radio and a SDR (Software Defined Radio) in One..

Its currently the best you can get in Uniden's Scanner line Up.. (apart from its desktop brother, the SDS200)


Programming in done via Sentinal Software (American Version) and uses the same Micro SD card memory as the 436pt & 536pt Radios..

In your hand, the radio fits well with rubber grips on the sides giving excellent grip-ability in rainy weather being weatherproof, its also a decent size as well, where as the 325 is smaller and the 436 is larger its almost the perfect radio scanner.. Almost

Here, the radio shows it size to a 436PT and a well used 396XT (pic below)



As you can see from the Pic above, the SDS100 is quiet chunky, almost double the size of the 436pt but its not too much, its actually has a great secure feel to it where as the 436pt, i have almost dropped a few times (i will cry if that happens, there will be tears..)

So its the perfect radio??

Well, No...

A few things bugged me about this radio...

1. The Antenna Connection..  None of my Antennas fit this radio, sure its got a SMA connection but it also has a plastic ridge that the only way to put an antenna on this radio is through an adapter. So to get a SMA antenna to fit to this radio, you need to get a SMA to BNC adaptor (comes with the radio) and then get another  BNC to SMA adapter just you can get an antenna to fit which is ok if you only have BNC antennas i suppose..(pic below)


 

2. The Speaker... For a sub $1000 radio, you would think that Uniden would put in a decent speaker, not so with this unit.. Its reeealy tinny.. Some people might say its o'k but i wasn't impressed with the sound, not for a radio, that i'll ever be able to afford. (pic below of biddy speaker)



3. Keypad... If has history has shown me anything, is that plastic pads eventually crack and break and guess which radio has a plastic button pad?.. At least other radios have a rubber keypad that can be replaced (pic below)



 

So is it Worth Buying?

I Think Yes,  Under the hood of this beast is an amazing radio, sensitivity is excellent and it looks and feels good...

To be honest, the first thing i would do is take off the back cover and trim down the antenna surround, at least my antenna will fit... That's important Right?

Is it the Perfect Scanner Receiver?

I'll Let You Decide
