    SDS100/SDS200: SDS100 - Scan by Range?

    It's been a while since I used my SDS100. I'll be down in Virginia Beach, VA a lot over the next 2-3 years. If I want to set up my SDS100 to scan everything in range, what's the best way to do that? I figure I can turn on/of services as desired.

    Florida Highway Road Trip

    Heading from South Florida to Georgia. I'll be on I-95. I have an SDS 100 but without the GPS module. Since FHP is encrypted should I just scan the interop channels such as 8CALL, 8TAC & 155.370? I'll just be making gas stops along the way so I don't care much about the local traffic as I pass...

    I know, I should have taken pictures, but the lighting wasn't good. . . On the SDS100, the antenna mount may loosen. This generally does not require resoldering (much to my relief!) To repair: - Remove the "button" on the back that goes into the belt clip (1 screw, PH0) Set this screw and...

    Hello my unit in SDS100. I have to use a powered external speaker to listen to it since the loudness does not make it loud enough to hear. I need a powered earpiece as well, to be able to increase the volume to the earpiece and not just an external speaker. Does anyone make a solution for...
