My question is: Would using a 5V/2A charger, hurt the 436HP? Scannermaster shows that the 436HP uses the 5V/1A AC Adapter USB (5V 1A) | Scanner Master And the 5V/2A charger is only for the 200? Uniden USB AC for the SDS100 (AC1278) | Scanner Master My questions: Would using a 5V/2A...

I’m currently diving into a new project involving the CS6422-CSZ Audio Signal Processor IC and I’m looking for some insights and experiences anyone might have with this particular IC. I’m especially interested in understanding its integration in complex audio processing setups and any specific...

As the title suggests, can you mod an analog scanner with the ability to decode any digital signals (DMR, NXDN, P25, etc?) in house (not talking a discriminator tap). First, I need to determine what these scanners use to decode digital traffic. Is decoding hardware-based, firmware-based, or...

Hi, I'm Chloe. 👋 I live in the US but listen to public safety from around the world using Scanner Radio and Police Scanner. I found a channel on Scanner Radio called, "Northwest VHF Scanning". In its description, it advises it scans Marine Distress and several SAR freqs. It states it is...

I have a question about programming a system into a radio or scanner. In the table below, it shows 2 frequencies that are the same, under slot 1. Then you see 2 frequencies that are the same under slot 2. I'm not sure I understand this. It's a dmr system. My understanding is that DMR trunked...

Hi, I'm new to scanners and I'm just starting out for the first time. I'm looking for hand held radio that scans fire/ems/police traffic and that is compatible with those areas/links down below. Which scanners would be good for an ammeter and that isn't extremely expensive. If you mind listing...

In the link I posted below, the scanner is recieving and playing transmission after transmission with absolutely no pauses in between. Is this because the user is in an area with multiple sites going at once with heavy radio traffic or is there some kind of setting or mode that enables...

I have a GPS plugged into my sds100 and it detects it and all, but when I turn off all of my favorites to use the gps as I'm driving, it says "scan mode nothing to scan". How do I turn gps mode on so I can drive around while the scanner follows my location?

I bought an sds100 about a week ago and I love it but I think it may have a battery problem. I get about an hour, not even like 45 minutes just on the battery itself and it doesn't matter what I'm scanning, while the big battery is boasted to last around 6 hours. I fully charged it to see if...

I am looking to buy a mobile antenna from scanner master for my sds100, and most of my area has VHF and low band UHF. https://www.scannermaster.com/Laird_Multi_Band_Mobile_Antenna_p/20-541858.htm and https://www.scannermaster.com/Wideband_Antenna_with_Mag_Mount_and_BNC_p/01-541326.htm It seems...

I'm aware that there is a delay option on my sds100. What do the negative seconds options mean? For ex- there could be 3, 2, or 1 second delay time or the same but in negatives.

If you are running a certain favorites list on an SDS100, or probably any scanner for that matter, in which it contains many many frequencies to be scanned at the same time, will it have more trouble picking up frequencies in that aspect as opposed to if you had a smaller favorites list? I was...

I want to broadcast a frequency on Broadcastify, although, I want to get the cheapest scanner possible to do it, being that I already have an expensive scanner for personal use. The frequency I want to broadcast is on p25. Any scanner suggestions?

What dictates a frequency to be either listed on RR or to display itself on a scanner? I know somebody who owns his own private company and he and the employees communicate via walkie talkies (unknown brand, bought most likely off of amazon) and it is not listed on RR. Is it possible to listen...

How can you tell if a frequency is encrypted on the Radio reference database?

Hello, I am new to the hobby of HAM & scanning in general. I have just purchased a uniden sds100, but I am not too familiar with the science behind radio communications. Besides the AARL handbook, what are some books that can help me to learn the hobby itself including the technical aspect of...

I am new to the scanning world, and in the process of purchasing my new scanner (uniden sds100). I am very interested in radio communications and want to learn about it, where is a good place to learn the basics? Thank you

Hello! These questions might have been asked again here... But, 1st of all I can’t search all other 13K Q&A’s here and I want to have all my facts in one place. I’m interested in Emergency Services Public Safety monitoring. Starting: • I’m new to Scanners and Radios. I would like to learn...

I am new to purchasing scanner equipment but an avid listener to the iPhone Scanner Radio application. Several months ago my hometown (Baltimore, MD) Police radio broadcast went and remains offline. I believe I read that the provider has moved out of the area and it appears no one is...
