Anybody using SDS100 for MilAir comms?

Greetings,

I have a new SDS100 and want to use it for MilAir. Anybody doing this?
Would you use the sentinel to do this?

Thank you in advance.

Yes I am using both the SDS 100 and 200 to monitor North East Coast between Albany and Delaware. Both radios work exceptionally well with a tri-band RadioShack Sputnik ground plane. In my present location Aviation was deaf unless I enabled ifx. No filter needed, I use the standard default normal filter. Terrific reception. I paired down my listening post when police went encrypted in a large area in my part of the country, I no longer use all of the Uniden Bearcat scanners I used to use for decades past. I'll let others take over from here LOL

I have an old pro-96 and RT-60 that have all my mil frequencies in them. I want to transfer them to the SDS100.

As far as actually transferring them in one motion I don't know about that. But just writing them down and using Sentinel to program your sds100, shouldn't be a problem at all. By the way your pro-96 is probably one of your best Aviation receivers you own LOL

I have an RTL SDR and a uniden 996xt on an antenna switch going to a discone antenna that I use, I have a fairly low noise floor here in the UHF mil band and use the rtl to find signals and listen and I'll eventually put them into the 996 for future scanning use. I live neat several large military bases and always have something to hear..some far right groups in my area have taken a use of FRS and GMRS for whatever they do, so there's that to listen to also but it's usually just jabber and useless comms. I always keep 243.000 and 282.800 in my scanners as they are the primary and alt (CH1 and CH2) frequencies in all the tacbe survival radios for this area.. so I always hear training on those 2 channels. USCG is heavy in the marine bands and the 139 to low 140ish band here as well. Keep scanning around, that's the whole fun for me is finding new frequencies!

I don't think there is a direct way to do this. The memory structures are incompatible.

I think the best way to accomplish this would be to dump both scanners in a .csv formatted file. Now if either Sentinel, ARC536 (which I believe supports the 100) or ProScan can read those files, that I think would be the way to go

Ok, I'll try it.

Thank you.

As long as you can read the memory of the Pro-96 and RT-60 and present on screen, then it's just a matter of copy all frequencies in one go and paste them all into Sentinel, it will add the right amount of lines automatically, and then do the same with text tags.
