    ProScan: Replace existing UID in FL DataBase

    When I move a ProScan UID to the FL UID database, I get text in the Unit UID (number) field if a matching UID entry exists. I've tried all three variations in the move/copy tool. Is there a way to move/copy to replace the existing UID or create an additional entry with the UID number and text...

    SDS200 Quick Display-Off?

    I found that pressing the Power knob multiple times cycles through display L/M/H/Off. But when off, the display keeps coming on periodically, presumably on a channel hit. Is there a way to run audio on w/o any display via a quick-key sort of method? Bret/N4SRN

    SDS200/100 Control Channel Only

    By default, Sentinel programs all of the frequencies for a site, control and voice. Is there any benefit to removing the voice channels so the radio doesn't have to scan through them for potential control data? Obviously the control channels are all that's needed, but do the voice channels...

    MAY 2022 Shack Re-Do

    In my last shack, I had everything in one Rack (Box) an 8U Black Woodgrain Rack (24"hx21w"x16"deep) which took up the whole left side of my corner desk, reducing my workspace. Great for the radios/scanners not good for desk space. In this new change, I found smaller narrow standard rack boxes...

    SDS200 Display

    Hi ya'll - I just purchased my first scanner the SDS200 and have it up and scanning but I noticed that the display goes blank after a little while. It comes back on after I hit a key so I don't think it's a display problem. Is there a way to keep the display from turning off? Since I'm new to...

    SDS200 optional-optimal-software/tips/tricks

    Just curious, I got one on a whim a bit ago. I don't have nearly the amount of time to spend on the various communications hobbies anymore, so my research is pretty surface level. I was wondering if there are owners with "must have" things for it that might come across this, or some quick tips...

    SDS200 Possible Hum?

    My SDS200 appears to have a very faint, static sound coming from the internal speaker. It is not loud by any means, and can only be heard if I put my head close to the unit. If I plug in an external speaker, the sound ceases from the internal speaker, and continues on the external speaker. Could...

    Anyone have a list of CNYICC Unit ID's?

    I'm searching for a list of Unit ID's for the CNYICC, particularly Onondaga County Fire/EMS/LEO. I'm wondering if anyone maybe already has this information entered into their scanner, or maybe in an excel spreadsheet for easy entry. I have no problem doing this myself, but I figure why reinvent...

    Custom Display Objects on The Screen

    I was looking at the screen display color options post, and then this idea popped in my head. On the SDS200, you can also customize what objects can be shown on the display (Unit ID, Site ID, TGID, WACN, etc...) Question: Which objects are the most useful to have on the display, and why do you...

    BCD996P2 VS SDS200 on NJ Systems

    I was thinking about buying either buying the 200, or two bcd996p2's. Has anyone in Morris County experienced monitoring Morris County's P25 system, NJICS, & Parsippany with the 996p2 vs the 200? Can the 996p2 handle the simulcast like the 200 can? I heard it is hit or miss with the 996p2...

    Has anyone come up with a better GPS solution for permanent mobile mount in an auto for the SDS200? The current GPS kit is ridiculous you need to have the USB cable with the power inserter and then plug in the cigarette power adapter to power the GPS. Then you have the cable to the GPS itself...

    Front USB Port, Using It To Charge/Run Other Scanners

    I have been using the SDS200 front USB post recently. I saw it was meant for the gps, and future developments. So, one day I plugged in my buddies trx-1 handheld scanner into it. To see what would happen. Long and behold, it ran and charged the batteries of my buddies trx-1. We kept it...
