Does anyone know if this will fit on the SDS100?

If you are referring to this antenna, then no, it will not work properly on the SDS100. The SMA connector on the scanner itself is recessed into the case, so that an antenna will seat fully, and maintain the weather resistance of the scanner. Also, as it is not seating fully, you'd have a poor connection from the antenna to the scanner.
The SMA to BNC adapter that Uniden ships with the scanner is made to seat correctly, and maintain the water resistance of the case. You'd be better off using the supplied adapter, & getting the BNC version of that, or a different, antenna.
Yeah that's what I am doing now but was hoping to not have to always use the adapter.
Other than the stock antenna, supplied by Uniden, the only other antenna that I know, for sure, would fit correctly is the Remtronix REM-820S, which is made to fit down into the case & also has an o-ring for a watertight seal. If there are others on the market, I have not run across any of them yet.
I'd suggest contacting Scannermaster support and ask them. The manufacturer may have changed the SMA connector so it fits.

If you are not satisfied with the supplied adapter and want a better one, I would suggest contacting jon wienke here on the forums and purchasing his custom sma adapter. Works like a charm and built to last.
Yes, the SMA version of the Spectrum Force DOES work on the SDS100, I use it all the time. The SMA connector is small enough to fit into the recess.
In addition there is now a version of the Austin Condor that fits on the SDS100.
