Does anyone have a download link for 1.04? Right now, the scanner is just collecting dust on the shelf while we wait for a fix for VHF/UHF and DMR conventional.

Let me know if you are able to download it. There is a SUB and FW files.

Thanks Bravo14, I have download both and am loading 1.04 now; will report an update back shortly.
I'll give that a try I believe I live not too far from the station.
I wanted some time to test it; I see no differences in performance between the current public beta and the 1.04 firmware; DMR conventional still won't decode unless you site in that One Frequency system for an extended period of time and VHF still has extensive bleed over from other frequencies and distortion on receive; all issues that I do not see on a BCD436HP; VERY disappointed in the SDS100 after all the hype, oh well back on the self until such time as Uniden addresses the issues or even replies or admits there are faults; I sense another recall situation like the BCDx36HP fiasco... Anyway, back on the latest BETA release and it's turned off collecting dust once again.
1.04 vs 1.05
I see a huge difference in VHF high (136-174) and air band (110-136mhz)
800 MHz and higher is the same, I'll agree.
DMR decode works for me on 1.04 and not on 1.05 when I am searching ham 440-450mhz.
Stock antenna of course for all testing.(if you are using a different antenna that's not a fair test!)

Rubbish if you use a different antenna so you can receive said systems it is indeed a fair test. Some people only use outdoor antennas on their scanners so to say using a different antenna is not fair is ridiculous.
A suggestion..like you I saw a difference in 1.04 and the "now" public release version 1.05. I created debug files for both versions and submitted them. Showing the differences via firmware debug files usually get's the attention of UPMan and his engineering staff instead of just mentioning it in a thread. The "beta release" made drastic improvements after I submitted the debug files and waited a few weeks. What impact they had I don't know, but if some discrepancy needed to be demonstrated or verified, hopefully my debug files helped.
My debug file demonstrated that the "now public release version 1.05" was dropping active transmissions during a Phase 1 P25 trunking system. Another user with a similar system Phase 1, P25 system contacted me and said he did not have this issue, but reported this software worked best "at the time". When this newer 1.05 "beta release" was released, my issues were resolved. While it wasn't reported in the release notes, some users (including myself) reported improvement in analog reception and much more tolerable than previous versions. This is the quirkiness of these newer scanners...reminds of me of an old seasaw...up for one, down for the other.
I don't know if you're using the beta version or public release version, but it seemed the beta behaved similar to version 1.04. I have read your posts and I'm hoping you take the time to send debug files for both releases for comparison purposes. I'm happy many here are doing just that to make improvements in this great scanner. Help is always appreciated.
i wouldn't say it is a more fair test but like any scientific testing, using a different antenna is changing the conditions of the test, there are things that you cannot control with tests in the wild such as location, local transmitter proximity, etc but as long as you use the same antenna consistently throughout the test there is nothing wrong with it, thats not ruling out antenna issues nor if an outside antenna introduces more noise into the radio
I use the same antenna for testing all my scanners.
Good point. I use the stock antenna for my handhelds, and usually don't use a handheld as a mobile scanner. Since this one is putting all my other mobile scanners to shame on simulcast, it will be used as a mobile scanner until an SDSxxx is released and I'm still using the stock antenna.
i use it for Mobile in my semi all the time, i have it attached to a Austin Spectra with excellent results, VHF is still an issue even on the mobile antenna though, but not a dealbreaker
Usually when I do a test I use 3 different antennas. 1 RS 800mhz 2 Antenna came with radio 3 SpectrumForce Wideband Antenna with Mag Mount and BNC. By Sun or Monday coming up will be doing alot of testing in a different area all radios I had doing tests there didn't get signal lucky get 1 bar.
Same radio,same antenna
If I'm trying to compare a scanner with yours and you have a high gain antenna how is that a "fair" comparison? Sure, use your antenna but for a test we have to be on the same playing field.
A Mustang V6 Vs. a Mustang V6, you have a super tuner chip you're going to blow mine away, right?
Anyhow, why would you want the antenna to be different on a firmware test, if you could get your scanner working perfect
by Uniden doing a firmware update why use any other antenna but the stock?
Having a $40 antenna is going to give it better reception, or why did you even buy it. Now the thread turned into an antenna debate.LOL
Wearinshades, how do I get the debug files from the scanner? Pm me if you don't wanna put it here. please,thanks.

Because if I use the stock antenna I can't receive the systems I want to hear it's that simple. And we will never be on the same playing field because my area and the system characteristics are more than likely very different.
Post the systems please so people can get context.
