Had a co-worker bring in his SDS200 - sounds much better than on my SDS100. Biggest difference is the larger speaker that can handle the lower-end of the audio spectrum MUCH better than the tiny speaker in the SDS100.

I'm just hoping someone involved in the county's radio system administration team reads this message.

DON'T do what Osceola County did, and add their school buses to the public safety radio system!

They still don't know that they're not talking on CB Channel 19. Communications procedures? What's that?
No doubt some Harris salesdroid really wants to write the contract for a few more million bucks worth of radios
and load the system down even more, but I say...don't. Their UHF system works fine, radios are 500 bucks or so,
and having that kind of communications 'quality' on a public safety trunked system makes NO sense anywhere.

the Brevard school buses are on VHF, but that's not germane - I agree with you that they do not belong on a PS system.

Now, if you want to expand your message - let's talk about the Space Coast Area Transit buses...... and them being on the old EDACS system... because I would bet they get ported over to the P25 system. Then we can discuss L3Harris facility security being on a PS trunk.....

OFF TOPIC: someone should sell a nice DMR trunk to the school system so that the schools and the school buses are all on the same system (and frequency band).....
