Hi all,
Been away from this here forum and also been away from using my SDS200 scanner for maybe a year!! I have found out that if you don't use your SDS200 scanner, Sentinel software or the Butel ARC536PRO software for a long while, you basically have to relearn the entire shebang!! And it ain't easy!!!
Okay, what I have done this evening is to update the firmware for the Uniden SDS200 and then downloaded the most recent nationwide database too. Then I created a new Favorites list with a more up to date UCAN and other stuff. I have tried to update the firmware every now and then but this is the first one I've seen since I got this radio new about 2017 or so. Anyone know much about what's new in this firmware?
I have a big question for any of you SDS scanner users! Why are all my display changes now gone? I had my display colors all nice and pretty and also had what to show and not to show. Now it's gone back to basic orange display colors and shows defaults as to what or what not to show. I was not happy with that at all. But oh, well.
Was it the firmware update that did that? I believe I had used my Butel ARCPRO software to do all of those display changes and I recall spending a lot of time with that.
Now, since it was a year or so ago when I logged in this forum, I remember talk about how Utah was about to spend a lot of money on a newer trunking system. Has this started yet? I'm scanning right now my latest from the nationwide update with Utah area (mostly UCAN trunking of course) but I'm not noticing a big difference. I think it's the whole state system so I'll probably trim it down a bit as it's scanning though gazillions of things. Nice to try and get back into this, despite the enormous complexities of the radio and the software and also nice to stop just using my expensive radio for more than a dust collector.
