    Paul Opitz passes away at age 59 after his battle with cancer

    I read his Throat Blog on the massivelyuninformed site and was inspired by his courage through his battle. His last blog entry was on Dec 13th and I kept checking back to read the next one. His last words in the blog were "Wish me luck." So sad. Rest in peace Paul.

    I'm Back!

    Glad you're back. I was able to make a GPS cable for my SDS100 based on your posts.

    Any updates on Paul (Upman)?

    I have read the entire blog and find Paul's courage quite amazing considering what he has been through, and what he faces. My wife survived breast cancer in 2017. She had surgery, chemo, and radiation. The cost of the chemo treatments was astronomical. I am surprised that they get away with...

    SDS200 Hum repaired, but returned

    It appears that Joe_Blough is correct. Uniden's following statement in the manual is in clear violation of FTC rules. "The warranty is invalid if the Product is (A) damaged or not maintained as reasonable or necessary, (B) modified, altered, or used as part of any conversion kits...

    Want to Buy SDS-100 But have seen bad reviews with UHF & VHF analog

    Everyone, please take a deep breath and relax. The SDS100 will arrive today, not a brick, coffee grounds, or a dead cat in the box.

    Want to Buy SDS-100 But have seen bad reviews with UHF & VHF analog

    I think the seller was just being lazy and copied and pasted from another SDS200 listing. It's quite possible that he is unfamiliar with SDS200's and DMR. So it might not have been intentional deception. Also, he has been an eBay member for a long time and has only two negative feedbacks in 13...

    SDS100/SDS200: Broken battery door clip due to large battery tightness

    I agree. If not a new, stronger clip then another option is to slightly reduce the size of the battery. EDIT: Actually it might require sanding the clip or the door so there is less tension.

    SDS100 your likes / dislikes

    It took mine only a few weeks to fail, not a year. Also the Lithium Ion battery says 'Made in China'. Not a good choice for quality stuff.

    SDS100 your likes / dislikes

    While I agree with almost all of your dislikes, I wouldn't go so far as to call it trash. To me, "trash" is something I would not bother picking up if I saw it in a waste can. That being said, for $650 I expect something better. I'm guessing that it was rushed through design and production with...

    SDS100 your likes / dislikes

    My SDS100 also has poor analog performance. Also, after a few weeks the battery stopped taking a charge. So I had to wait about a month for a replacement battery. I should have bought a 436HP since I don't care about simulcast. I didn't do enough research before buying. I would have returned...

    Read your manual, before asking here please

    What is flour ide? Flour water, lol. Do you mean fluoride? I had my teeth treated with it a couple weeks ago to help reduce visits to the dentist. I can tell you are a really friendly and helpful person. Like I said, feel free to not respond to questions.

    Read your manual, before asking here please

    Without an index how are you supposed to find answers to your questions in the manual --- read every page word for word? So even if the answer to a question is buried somewhere in the manual, what good is it if you have to read every page to find it? jjbond, please feel free to ignore...

    Read your manual, before asking here please

    The manual is a brief summary of some of the functions. It doesn't even have an index! That makes it very hard to find things. If it was a well written comprehensive manual with an index and examples, then there would be a lot fewer questions. If someone asks a question about the SDS100/200...

    SDS Filter Thread

    Sometimes it sounds like they are talking with their noses pinched. Or talking through a tube. Often takes a lot of concentration to understand. I guess the selling point of digital is that they can compress speech and get 2 transmissions at the same time on the same frequency.

    I don't think digital improves audio. Sometimes it is unintelligible. But I don't hear static in digital, just distorted speech. It seems to be all or nothing when it comes to reception.

    A very much needed "updated" guide for SDS100 and SDS200

    The manual would really benefit from examples or step by step tutorials. Right now its just an incomplete summary of some of the functions. It leaves a lot to guesswork.

    SDS200 Hum Reports

    I think the lack of transparency by Uniden is making this issue worse. Many potential SDS200 purchases are on hold! If I was in charge of Uniden I would recall all defective units in the supply chain, fix them, and then publicly announce that the problem is resolved.

    SDS100 charge LED rapidly flashing red/green

    Tried another cable with the Uniden charger and also another charger. Same thing - red/green. I sent a message to Uniden support and I look forward to getting a replacement battery.

    SDS100 charge LED rapidly flashing red/green

    I'm using the Uniden supplied cable and charger. I will try another cable. If it still has the problem then I will message you with the requested info.

    SDS100 charge LED rapidly flashing red/green

    UPMan, Why does my SDS100 repeatedly blink red/green when I am trying to charge the battery?
