Been awhile since I bought a new scanner.

Called the Ham Station this morning and ordered a SDS100, guy on phone was very helpful when there was an issue with my payment. Got me taken care of. Hoping mine has no issues lol. Looking forward to it!!!

Nice to hear. I'm thinking of doing the same but trying to figure out if the only changes between first-run SDS100s and the "new" SDS100s were the battery and firmware. I seem to have heard that there may have been other changes but can't confirm that at this point.

I asked the gentleman on the phone if they were "new stock" he was honest and said he was not sure. But he did say they have been moving a lot of SDS' out the door, and the ones they are shipping haven't been there long.

UnidenSupport replied in the other thread that the only changes were the battery and firmware.

Just ordered my SDS100 yesterday. Will be here Friday. Looking forward to using this scanner. Will see how it compares to my service radio (Moto XTS2500) ;-)

Best place to buy is from Paul at Bearcat Warehouse in Maryland. Free shipping and no sales tax except Maryland and their number is 1-877-568-7226 and they move a lot of products. Hope this helps everyone.

Rec'd SDS100 yesterday. It seems to outperform my XTS2500 on weak signal 700mhz digital. Will do more testing. Just got my 700/800MHz REMTRONIX Portable Antenna within the last hour. My RSSI numbers are MUCH better on the 700 system now!!!
