    SDS150: Broken antenna SMA connector

    So this morning I was swapping from the Jeep mounted antenna back to the OE rubber ducky and the SMA broke as I was disconnecting from the Jeep SMA fitting. Now before I get all sorts of 'love' for over-torque on an SMA, I have worked with SMA fitting on aircraft for many years and know they are...

    Built a Mac player for my SDS100 recordings

    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...

    Downsizing my shack: Should I sell my BCD436HP or SDS100?

    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...

    Why So Many Scanners, Radios, Pagers?

    Good Morning All It's pretty much everyday I get a friend, guys in my firehouse (now retired) or guys here on RR asking- Why So Many Scanners, Radios and Unication Pagers? For me they are all "Tools", NOT "Toys". I live in a metro area of more than 5 million people (Miami/Fort...

    SDS150: SDS150 keypad not locking

    When I pressed F then power, my SDS150 displays “Keypad Lock On” and the key icon appears. However the keypad still retains 100% of its functionality and I can’t change the volume unless I press the knob first. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

    Statewide Encryption? (Highway patrol)

    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...

    I've been watching my display pretty closely for a few weeks now, and I've occasionally seen my scanner showing the display for a different channel than I am actually listening to. Maybe a few times a day. I was hearing a call from my local PD, display showing a GMRS channel, for instance...

    SDS150: Wish List: Audio AGC

    Hi All! I'm new to scanning, and a new SDS150 owner. Big learning curve for me - and I'm a ham and a computer programmer... I've been been listening to my local area for a few weeks now, and notice that different users on the same channel/system have very different volume levels. The 'per...
