BCD160DN/BCD260DN: How Sensitive Is the Uniden BCD260DN Compared To A Uniden SDS 100 On 25-512MHz?

[JASII]

As posted above, I am wondering how sensitive the Uniden BCD260DN compared to a Uniden SDS 100 on 25-512 MHz?

Are there any reviews that have compared those to one another in that frequency range?

I say it is a little more sensitive as I run mine on a stridesberg in the car with my 325p2 sds100 and 436 and I get intermod from weather stations from about 3 miles away only on the 160.

It will be a very local issue with a scanners sensitivity. If you measure it's sensitivity and do that while you connect it to an antenna then most scanners loose sensitivity and some will go into intermod at stronger signals. If you have no strong local transmitters then a scanner might work fine that have a high sensitivity but that usually also comes with intermod and de-sense kicking in earlier. So it will depend on your local RF situation how a scanner performes and it's impossible to say that one scanner are better than another, as it will be unique to each user.
