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...

Good morning! There have been a number of recent updates to the PowerSouth Energy Cooperative page and I became interested in it due to hurricane season. I manually programed a couple of nearby sites since I could not find the system in Sentinel. I have all current updates to Sentinel and my...

Hello Everyone! I've been scanning for almost 20 years, running digital on SDS200 for 2. My locality is currently building a new public safety 700MHz P25p2 system, will be starting testing on it any day now. They are switching from VHF Conventional to this new system as soon as testing checks...

Good morning! This past week, a couple of anomalies appeared related to the customized displays on my SDS100 as well as the Sentinel profile settings for my SDS200. Bottom line up front. Everything is now working properly but wanted to share in the event others have encountered similar...

Hello, So I finally moved to a new state that has a new to me p25 system. The local county just recently moved off the state trunked agency. When I set the site frequencies on the sds200, nothing happens, except saying nothing to scan. When I set the site frequencies on the bcd996p2, it will...

Using Proscan, the program is using the Lenovo laptop's internal microphone instead of the URL ethernet sound input. The microphone is actually recording directly from the scanner's speaker. I tried to disable the microphone, but then Proscan won't let me record while it is disabled. The...

Hello all! I received an SDS200 today and started playing with it. Had some basic trunked channels programmed in and it was receiving well. I came back to it an hour later and it's stopped receiving anything at all. Thinking it was an antenna issue I threw it on the rooftop antenna - no dice...

Hi there, I hope you're doing well! Exciting news – my new SDS100 is set to arrive tomorrow, and I've been tinkering with the ProScan (PAID) software in anticipation. I'm eager to add the US Marine VHF Channels to a Favorites List, but I could really use some guidance on this. I've attempted...

Hello, I have a SDS200. I have searched and not found the answer I am looking for. I know that I can create Favorite Lists and then select which of those Favorite Lists get scanned or ignored. Perfect. Now, is is possible to include/exclude Systems in a given Favorite List? Example, I...

Hey there, I'm diving into setting up my SDS200 to monitor and control my scanner remotely via any web browser. However, despite scouring Google, tech support from Eero, my ISP's tech support, forums, and even taking courses on YouTube University, I'm hitting a roadblock. I'd really appreciate...

Hello, I have an SDS200, a SDR Nooelec Smart v5 and a President Randy II CB. My question is mostly about the SDS200 and SDR radio. I am studying for my Technician license currently. I am completely new to hobby so I appreciate your help. I have this antenna currently...

Perplexed by the flawed reception of a conventional P25 public service repeater. SDS200 receiving over a ~6.8 mile route with no sizable obstacles. [low-lying hills] No scan priority, weather alert, attenuation or filters employed. Firmware: Main Version 1.23.03 Sub Version 1.03.02 In my...

Recording is continuously enabled on my sds200. The microSD card will eventually overflow without directory management. One user in this forum described the radio locking up and displaying, "SD Card Full". Others have described the process of removing the microSD card from the radio and using a...

I have my sds200 programed and functioning. I have proscan up and running my stream. I can access the stream locally but not on the go. I have the xfinity router. I have port forwarding set up but when I use open port check. The port is closed. Is there something I am missing? Or is there...

Scannermaster.com programmed two counties nearby, but default is it scans quite a bit until I use the HOLD option after scrolling through the systems.... I have a P25 trunked phase 2 system and a more conventional county level system I want to scan, primarily. Is there a tutorial posted...

So I am looking to buy one of these radios but there's just a few reasons that has me kind of stuck. I am obviously gonna have it on a lot so is battery life gonna be a constant issue where I'm charging numerous times a day and device life, as far as sending a ton of cycles through the battery...
