sds200

Hi all, Looking for suggestions on car roof-mounted antennas that are all-band for an SDS200. Preferably a stubby antenna, or anything that is not absurdly long. No budget considerations to be aware of, as I'm looking to explore options. TIA!

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...

Hello. The other night I tried to connect Sentinel software to my SDS200 via the USB-A connector on the front panel. Normally, I connect to my computer by the MicroUSB connector, but the MicroUSB connector on the SDS200 seemed flimsy so I thought the USB-A connector would be a more stable...

Long Post. Apologies in advance. Question.. for a vehicle upfit: Could you use a Motorola external speaker for the ‘speaker out’ on the SDS200? ie a HSN4040a End goal is Moto type of build quality and durability and ability to repurpose for APX use on future build if need be. From what...

Just set my SDS200 up in the attic. (Had to move my radio shack to the basement so our kids can have rooms lol) The long LMR400 run to the basement just wasn’t cutting it. I now have the 200 running almost directly to a yagi. I figured since these run in vehicles during the hot and cold, this...

I am trying to add my my favorites to the sds200 from proscan. I got as far as write to scanner. Now I'm stuck in usb mass storage and the port only shows url. I have sentinal installed on laptop as well. The photos are the steps I took.

For those who may be in the market for a new SDS100 and/or SDS200, I just received an email from Zip Scanners this afternoon (07-03-2025) which stated the following: "The Uniden‑mandated MAP price on the SDS100 and SDS200 jumps $30 on July 13. Every dealer—us included—has to raise the sticker...

I have my sds200 connected via ethernet cable directly to my modem. On my laptop I’m using Proscan to connect to it for I can access my scanner when I’m not home. It works fine but seems like it disconnects every two/three days. Then I have to turn the scanner off and back on. Then it works...

I am operating three SDS200 scanners and for some reason the behavior appears to be different on 2 of them when I utilize a short cut or quick key to tune to a channel direct. I am running same FW on all of them - 1.23.15 and 1.03.06. When i hit channel to stop the scanning in order to go...

I have 2 SDS200s, and I use ProScan to record and control the scanner virtually. Today, I found that both my SDS200s had failed to communicate with ProScan. When I attempted to reconnect them, they failed to identify in ProScan. Both scanners are in serial port mode and are connected via USB...

After a recent update or my updating the scanners (all SDS200) I now see a reading for noise. Can someone let me know exactly what I am looking at? For instance, is this noise being generated in my shack or through the Antenna.

For the last several years, have been using ProScan to connect our SDS200 to the internet through Broadcastify. The scanner randomly goes offline for a variety of reasons. Sometimes I just need to reconnect it in Proscan (even though I have the automatically reconnect box checked). Sometimes I...

I have a 3d printer and an SDS200. Paying approx. $40 for 3 knobs is a bit ridiculous for me. Does anyone have an STL file they could share? I checked the normal places (thingiverse, printables, google) as well as searched this forum and only found links to the ebay posts I referred to above.

Hello RR! I been streaming to Broadcastify on Windows using Radiofeed on Windows and so far no issues. However, I highly dislike Windows and want to use my Linux Mint but I also want to keep broadcasting. I have Darkice and B.u.t.t. ready to be used however, I am unable to get audio from my...

Restarting a locked 2019 thread regarding the same topic. Has Jottodesk created a plate for the SDS200 yet? If not, can anyone confirm if this hack works on a JottoDesk console? Thanks.

Does anyone have a list put together of Unit IDs for each officer's portable or mobile radio on a department (Toledo PD, Oregon PD, LCSO, Toledo FD, etc.)? I realize this list would be exhaustive, but curious if anyone has one or started one. I also realize that if an officer changes their...

My SDS100 with rubber antenna receives much better than my SDS200 with outdoor antenna. Neither performs poorly. I do live in a rural area and have a Moonraker 2000 amp as part of the base antenna. Should I consider some modification to the SDS200 or doing a factory reset? I did have the SDS200...

Hello everyone! General question: Is the telescopic antenna that came with the SDS200 radio have good range compared to a dipole? Backstory: My SDS200 is connected to a 50ft low-loss 50ohm cable connected to a dipole. I live in Eastern Kentucky ( Letcher County ) and range and reception is...

Well this is weird from the usual "corruption" / µSD card issue I've seen here... And before we say "just replace the microSD card" - I'm not convinced that's the problem. This may take a minute to explain. Background: I simply wanted to make an edit (remove a couple of channels). I fired up...

First post. Based on my research this matter has been discussed several times but was never simplified. If it has been, I must have missed it; sorry; I’m simply trying to contribute. Using my SDS100 and Sentinel software I have successfully programmed FM radio station broadcasts that can...
