I'm referring to the linked page I included, which is the main scanners page.

OK, then short answer is I have NO clue, that being said, the link I provided from the same website your link is from clearly shows the SDS100 as out of stock.

You have me curious brettrohring, so I posted your question in another forum. We'll see what happens.
It's probably just a webmaster oversight. I wonder how long it has been that way before you discovered it!!!

Yes the sds100 is a great radio since the firmware updates and the addition of the filters. Works well on my P2 simulcast system.

I'm sure it's just a mistake as the SDS series will be their latest offering for a while. It was 5 years in between the SDS and the x 36.
I hope that"s all it is, and your correct. Love my SDS100 & BCD436HP purchased from Bearcat warehouse.

I've always wondered why anyone would buy a radio directly from Uniden because it's always the higher retail price than you can get it for from a retailer.

They also don't seem to have much stock. I don't think there's any advantage to getting it straight from Uniden. I can see buying like a battery door or something odd that's hard to replace but I don't know about a scanner.

I can't figure that one out.

Paul (UPMan) has said before that their online pricing is higher because they do not want to directly compete with their dealer network, He's also said that, when stocks are running low, Uniden diverts stock to their dealers and distributors rather than reserve stock for their own website. Once availability is better (sufficient stock), then the items would go back to in-stock on Uniden's site.

Did anyone ever determine what the rumored Uniden SDS500 is supposed to be?
It's a version of the SDS200 that can decrypt all forms of encryption known to be used in public safety. Included in the box is a secret identity kit, two one-way tickets to a country with no extradition treaty with the United States, prepaid legal counsel, and a prepaid GSM cell phone. MSRP is expected to be around $2.2 Million.

SDS500 should be a 1x4" base block with a more compact SDS200 remote head with a decent speaker in it... it will sell due to the lack of places to place an SDS200 in a modern vehicle. I keep an SDS100 mounted in mine however its not ideal to muscle memory operate due to the crappy keypad. Think CMX760.

YESSIREE: I want me one of them SDS500s! Yep, gonna move to Bolivia or Australia or Arkansas or somewhere where they don’t care if I listen to “Big E” stuff.
But for real; enjoy my 436, want a SDS100/200 but may have to wait ($$$), and plan on moving to Arkansas in the near future, so no hate mail!

I was just on Uniden's site (adding NXDN to my SDS100) and they still do not show the SDS100. :unsure:

I do not know how to break this gently, but… the flux capacitor in my iota SDS500.09 has a slight hum and the tin foil fix did not work? ;)
