Thanks that helped me i got it now . i watch dsdplus and when i find a new freqs i will look it up on RR but someimes a freq for example like 152.6670 will come back as 152.6725 but i know it's that department so i just will edit in in from what dsdplus is showing.
SDS100/SDS200: Finally got my sds100 need some guidance on programming it.

Try it and find out!
Again, there's a lot of things being asked here that you could find out yourself with a small amount of effort. I fear when you have other questions down the line, users won't be inclined to answer you since so much of it has been easy to find or many times answered questions here.
Dude i am trying all this with the scanner in my hand i have searched and alot of stuff just ain't out there or i don't understand it . and i just figured out by testing it that you can use a micro usb cable and run the sds100 off ac power alone i took the battery out and tested it and it works. i really really appreciate everyone here who is holding my hand on some of this and i know i ask some pretty dumb questions but it ain't because a lack of effort and sometimes it's good to put a question out there and get more opinions because some of the stuff i look up is from 2014 things change.

If you do that on a 436, you can’t record and lose the reply function. Not sure I’d the SDS is the same or not .
i don't know either.

Yes, the top (microUSB) port will only power the radio - it will not charge it.
I personally don't even screw with it and just use the main port for everything.
Better to just get an extra battery.
As to the rest - baby steps.
Even engineers and technical people can get perplexed by these radios at first.
Just take your time, read Mark's easier to read manual thoroughly and use the RR forum's search function - almost everything you want to know is already in there.
This forum exists to help people and there are quite a few very knowledgeable people here. Just keep in mind that most here subscribe to the 'teach a man to fish' philosophy, so just make an effort first - then ask away...
Info is out there.
Maybe someone knows the answer to this. in sentinel the way u can add to your fav lists what would it do if i put every channel that i am scanning into one department , like what i mean is here in the image below if i deleted everything except the honaker and then added all my freqs to that one title lets say 25 freqs. would that make any kind of difference or not? again this is just a thought . Thanks
Yes i agree i never ask here first i go to google and then to youtube and i read through stuff and if i can't quiet get it i will ask here. like this question Maybe someone knows the answer to this. in sentinel the way u can add to your fav lists what would it do if i put every channel that i am scanning into one department , like what i mean is here in the image below if i deleted everything except the honaker and then added all my freqs to that one title lets say 25 freqs. would that make any kind of difference or not? again this is just a thought .

i said that in a more figure of speech kind of way

If ou are using a SDR dongle with DSDplus then you could frequency calibrate that dongle to have it show the correct frequency.
Enter a known good frequency in SDR# or similar spectrum view program, a control channel are the best, then zoom in so that the modulation of the signal are covering maybe 1/4 of the spectrum and adjust the bandwidth, click and drag, so that it covers the signal exactly.
If it is outside of the signal at one end and way inside at the other end then use the ppm frequency correction in SDR#'s cogwheel settings to make the signal fit perfectly inside the modulation bandwidth. Then use that ppm value in DSDplus to get a correct frequency reading.
This is a perfect match:

The antenna the sds100 comes with what is it best for? i tried looking it up but i can't find much.
i need a antenna that is multi band i guess from 150mhz 450mhz and 850mhz what would be a good portable antenna for that? Thanks
Great thanks for that i couldn't find the stock one.
I am looking at some antennas to buy and i'm stuck on what would be the better option a telescopic antenna or one that is not a telescopic like the stock antenna i feel the telescopic would be the best way to go because what i monitor is on 150 450 and 850 but then again i can get a non telescopic that is rated for those. anyone out there who has had experience with them all that could guide me in the right direction? Thanks
If I recall, don't you live in the middle of nowhere basically, surrounded by trees and hills?
Yes i do but i have a handheld radio and i am a free man
I'm just looking for accessories and trying to figure out what would be the best for a handheld scanner and being outside and traveling i don't want a vehicle antenna just yet i just want to have the best antenna that will pick up police and ems but portable. i am looking at one called the signal stick alot of youtubers say they like it
"what would be the best for a handheld scanner and being outside and traveling"
Get an 842S then...
Get an 842S then...
I looked it up it fits what i need on paper. here is a question how can a antenna like the 832S at 8 inches long perform the same as a telescopic antenna with it's length?
Telescoping are nice but not ideal to adjust while driving. Generally an antenna tuned for the band of interest will perform the best. The tri-band is tuned for 3 ranges. 136-174 420-470 800-900 MHz.
I did not see any of this info listed on Remtronix page, yet zip scanners amazon says,
"25-100%+ POLICE SCANNER RECEPTION BOOST: 6+dB gain over stock handheld police scanner antennas from Whistler & Uniden"
