sds100

Hi, I'm Ignacio, from Argentina. I've been a radio enthusiast since I was a kid and, like many of you here, I've been using the SDS100 for years with software on my PC. A while back I started developing ScanSDS (scansds.online), a web app to control and monitor the SDS100 directly from the...

Hello, it's been a while since I've posted but I thought I'd share my experience creating a player for the WAV recordings from my SDS100. (Screenshot attached so you can see the layout.) I'm on a Mac, so my routine is to run Sentinel in a Windows VM, pull the recordings off the scanner, and...

Hey everyone, looking for some second opinions on downsizing my handheld scanner lineup. I currently have a BCD436HP, an SDS100, and a new SDS150 (keeping this one for sure and adding the DMR upgrade). I only need to keep two scanners, so either the 436 or the SDS100 has to go. Here is how they...

After a week or so of some side by side's with my new SDS150 below are some great results in the SDS150's favor. SDS150 vs. Unication G4 on 700/800mhz Trunked Simulcast 1) Unication G4 Current Firmware and UPA78N Tuned 760-870mhz Aftermarket 3" Antenna 2) SDS150 with Remtronix Tuned 700-900mhz...

Is there a specific list of states that have encrypted highway patrol? Or should I start looking into purchasing upgrades? The reason I ask: I was on a road trip recently. I programmed my scanner (with gps), and some states would catch broadcasts almost every minute, it seemed. But then some...

Hello, I'm sure this has been answered but I am not sure how to scan conventional channels on an SDS100. It says "Scan Mode, Nothing to Scan." Thanks.

I've been trying to use Fire Tone-Out on my SDS 100, SDS 150, and SDS200 scanners. I'm having the same issue on all 3 scanners. I set the frequency (154.055), and it will show the A and B tones when a call is dispatched. The problems I'm having are: 1. No matter what delay I set, the...

Hopefully this is the correct forum for a question like this. I'm new to digital and trying to understand DMR, systems, departments, sites, TGID, and LCNs. So, I appreciate the patience and understanding for a newbie learning. SDS100 FW 1.24.00, updated DB 03/08/2026, Factory set Detailed...

For past few months the scanner sometimes shows no signal bars while on my SDS200 I hear activity. I try to turn it off on and reconnect the antenna and sometimes it works but sometimes I still hear nothing then I suddenly start hearing activity. One day I removed the antenna and something came...

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.

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...

Just curious if anyone has made a favorites list for all gmrs and frs frequencies. If not, how can I make one? Would like to have them show up on the scanner with labels (blue star, etc) 436hp and sds100

Did a custom scan and it stops on a frequency but I dont hear anything. Is this a setting?

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...

Anyone elses sds100 get really warm/hot to the touch i have read alot about the part near the antenna connector getting really hot but mine is warm all over if i hold it in my hand it's warm like really warm from bottom to top. i leave it running 24/7 but i'm not sure if this is normal to be...

I'm just wondering what would be the best overall option to run my SDS100 should i leave the mini usb plugged in while the battery is still in so leaving it charging all the time or should i leave the mini usb plugged in with the battery out or should i just plug in the micro usb and run it that...

So i bought this SDS100 at a online auction and got a pretty good deal on it. after i got it i noticed it's not charging i'm not seeing the battery voltage on the display if i turn it off the red light comes on and it just blinks while plugged in, but when i turn it on there is no light. i also...

Can the SDS100 be programmed to monitor specific SUID's?

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...
