Thanks guys!! After buying the SDS100, can I upgrade NXDN, DMR and pro voice myself? Would any of you get ARC536 pro usb flash and is the Uniden sentinel software all I need to program from RR database? Sorry if so many question, haven't had a Uniden since early 90's
You can purchase and install the upgrades yourself direct from Uniden for less money than the dealers charge. It’s a very simple process, and only takes a few minutes. Upgrade at this link:
myUniden - Customer Product Registration and Support Area
When I upgraded a few months ago, these were the costs directly from Uniden:
DMR = $60
NXDN = $50
ProVoice = $49.99
You can purchase them one at a time, whenever you want. They don’t have to be done at the time of purchase.
The Sentinel software will do all you need as far as programing, using, and customizing the scanner. Sentinel gets weekly updates from the RR database to use in the scanner, or you can create your own favorites lists to monitor.
Third-party software packages will add some extra usability features (such as streaming, remote viewing and control) and streamline some other features. I prefer ProScan as my third-party software for the SDS series.
ProScan contains a built-in web server that allows you to monitor and control your scanner from anywhere you have Internet or Wi-Fi connection. You can monitor and control your scanner from your smart phone or any other computer.
