Everyone's ego has been soothed so move on.
Do the firmware update and see if the same issue returns. I will say also had a problem with A Hp-1 that did something similar and it was the SD card flaking out so that might be something to consider also.So something weird just happened with my SDS100. I have not had any noticeable issues since I bought this one. The last couple of days, I have been leaving it on all day/night. Today when I went home for lunch I noticed that it was unusually quiet. When I looked at it, it appeared to be "stuck" on a certain frequency (analog FD frequency in case this is at all relevant). I advanced it to scan forward but it did not receive anything for a few more minutes even though my others are running fine. I turned it off, and back on again, thinking the old "reboot fixes things" cliche. It seems to have been working for the remainder of the time I was home but I turned it off and am now back at work.
I didn't take the tax day update. But I don't know if my issue is the same as the others in this thread or not.
I really hope I do not have to send this thing in for repair and spend money on shipping and be without the scanner.
If you have an extra card, try a new, properly set up, memory card. Or try clearing, formatting, and initializing the card you have.So something weird just happened with my SDS100.

That’s how mine was acting before it completely took a dump on me. Hopefully it doesn’t do that to you....and if it does I hope you don’t have to deal with the hassle of sending it in again with more issuesSo something weird just happened with my SDS100.

You could try that. Worst thing that happens is you have to send it in for repair.I don't have a spare SD card to use. And I don't think I'll be able to get one until the weekend. I guess in the meantime I'm going to have to see if it continues to not work properly when I get home later. I'll run the updates, but honestly that shouldn't matter.

I have not received any update from Uniden on my scanner yet.
I don’t believe anyone in this thread said Uniden or SDS scanners suck. Some of us just have bad apples.A percentage of these radios are problematic, a small percentage just like other electronics. If you have an SDS scanner with issues you are in the minority of customers with repair requests. The number was given in another thread- out of 2000 sold (at that time) they had 100 complaints. Still not good numbers, but they are hard at work to resolve the issues. Most SDS owners, myself included, have SDS scanners that work as advertised, and we are in the majority. It is safe to say there are thousands of happy SDS scanner owners out there. To lump all SDS scanners in a negative light because of the few that need repairs is unfair and unjust. I just had a go-around with the LG TV people when I bought a big flat screen for my RV. It was a lemon. After a customer service battle they made things right and a replacement arrived in fine working order. You won't hear me say LG TVs suck. They do their best, and they will have a bad TV here and there. I just happened to buy one. $#it happens. Deal.

I would say they seem to care about these issues.
I don't want to be an oracle of doom, Darkness, but that's how mine acted before it quit. They had it not quite a month, but I also caught them in some kind of a parts inventory or update or something. That extended my wait by a few days. I bit the bullet and sent it to Unidenland in Texas and upon return, it worked like a charm. It continues to work great. According to their work sheet, my problem was a cold solder joint. I believe they should stay out of those joints.
I'll run the updates, but honestly that shouldn't matter.
