Any engineers/technicians out there know if they'll ever be able to make a digital trunking scanner that can deal with simulcast and not be so finicky overall?

Thanks. Not exactly sure what "software defined" means as applied to a portable.

SDS 100, Unication G5, professional grade radio capable of receiving target frequencies.
I don't think the SDS100 comes even close to being professional grade. It's design comes from a scanner that has been plagued with hardware and software problems for years.

Corrections:
1. While the SDS100 uses the same general programming format as the BCDx36HP series, the receiver hardware is different, the display is different, the battery is different, and the SDS100 has a waterproof case. But other than that they are identical.
2. The hardware issues in the x36 line were resolved in 2015-2016, and Uniden has a repair program for affected customers that pays shipping in both directions.
3. Uniden firmware is no buggier than anyone else's, and Uniden is pretty responsive to customer feedback regarding bugs.
Highly unlikely.If I decide to order a Unication G5 (live in the Atlanta area), can I depend on the supplier to properly program the radio for what I want to listen to?
(IPX4) standards for water resistance not water proof. And any GPS mod will void that rating.
Awesome Jon ! So can this be done on the 436 and SDS100 with no external case modification ?https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApJIS-l4xqPtgvF5SAa4uzgnTv6plg
You might be surprised...
No, I'm making a cutout in the case, but I seal the cutout with DAP clear adhesive caulk (which is also how I secure the GPS module in place). If the rest of the case is sealed against water intrusion, the GPS mod won't change that.
