sds-100

I'm looking for some help understanding what type of DMR this system is using, and how to program it into my SDS-100. It's not yet in the database, and I'm intending to submit it to the database when I get this figured out. The system in question is: Worthington City Schools. On my first...

Hello ! Scenario: Just purchased a preowned and operating SDS100 from a reputable Ham Radio store and it is all updated per Sentinel software to latest firmware. Also own the SDS200, which does not have this issue. Possibly a setting in my SDS100 is the problem. I programmed my SDS100...

I know there's a lot of discussion in other threads on the SDS-100 battery but I didn't think any of it focused on a possible workaround for the fact that the radio will not record without the battery pack. Has anyone looked into what would need to be provided from a battery pack substitute to...

Is it normal for the Remtronix REM-842S to have a slight bend to it? Straight cardboard box for comparison.

I use my SDS-100 to monitor my local Sheriff's Office Dispatch @ 158.7975 Mhz. I'm pretty ignorant about radios. Our local law enforcement do use a digital system and they can't be picked up on the cheaper scanners. My SDS-100 worked fine for this purpose for quite some time, until it didn't...

I was gifted a sds-100 for Christmas and I am computer stupid lol I did the zip code option but I’m picking up stuff outside of the area I want to listen to. example I want to listen to Macomb county and focus on Clinton Township. Im getting that but also detroit, msp and other areas I don’t...

Why does it go back to the default text colour with a Sentinel update?

I have a SDS-100 with a bright bottom display issue. The bottom line of my display is 2X as bright as the rest of the display. I did not have this issue with my 2 previous SDS-100's or my current SDS-200. I sent my SDS-100 back to Uniden for this issue. They sent it back to me with a a...

Hey folks... Looking for some first-person feedback from those who spend as much time in the car as I do and may have had a chance to use the 100 and/or 200 in a mobile application. Background: I've been scanning since the late 1980's, and haven't owned a handheld scanner in 20+ years - I use...

I've found out how to scan and listen to all FRS walkie talkie communications in my surrounding area, but I cannot talk back to them. If this is possible, any assistance you can lend me would be awesome. Thank you all.

Am I new to radio? - Yes, however I believe I have a good handle on it. - I'm a nerd. - I bought an SDS-100, its great, I love it. - Police and Fire chatter is my favorite channels to surf - I use the Sentinel software, seems pretty straight forward. I've been programming the scanner with...

Trying to update the firmware in a new SDS200 is Uniden site down? Cant connect to site in Sentenial for update

Hi everyone, I'm looking at purchasing a SDS100 scanner - I just want to confirm before I take the plunge, that it is capable of scanning both EDACS, as well as Project 25 Phase I. I just recently moved to Las Vegas and am coming from an area that still uses analog radio systems. Any feedback...

I just recently purchased a Uniden SDS100. I have added custom scan lists on P25 and analog channels. My problem is there is 50+ sites for the local statewide P25 system. I currently have a local scan list with just the tower thats in my county but whenever I am traveling I have to re-enable the...

Just a few days ago I was able to fully listen to: Nashville, TN, Davidson County: Police: West Precinct/Patrol and now I am getting zero... Can the SDS100 handle this? Thank you in advance. I am a noob, don't roast me :/ DEC HEX Mode Alpha Tag Description Tag 10201 27d9 DE * P101WSTD...

Can anyone help me better understand how to program the SDS100? I get "use the software". I have it programmed for my county which uses both conventional and trunking but it doesn't seem to scan fast enough. The trunking side has sites that aren't even close to the county I live in. I'm a...

Transmissions are very choppy. Changed SD cards cause the last one seemed corrupted. Got it back from Uniden for a repair on Nov 1 for a broken volume knob and have had issues since.

It seems that when I do a zip code search (29420, for example), I get the local trunking (P800) talk-groups I'd expect with my distance setting, but all the sites statewide. I would have expected to only get the local sites, too. Since there are over 300 site freqs in the state on this system, I...

I am listening to my SDS100 scanner and I notice that it is stopping on certain tgids but there no channel name. It displays the trunking system name, but no dept. nor channel name. Is there a setting I can change? How is this happening? Can anyone help.

Hi all, I've been scanning since the days of the 10-channel regency rock-bound radios, and have used pretty much ever evolution of scanners monitoring across North America. My newly-acquired SDS-100 has broken me and I hope a kind member can help guide me along the path to SDR-scanner...
