UPS has my SDS150 (from Scanner Master), scheduled for Thursday delivery!!
I just received SDS150 Shipping Notice
- Thread starter racin06
- Start date
Mine is still processing. I would like to see a pending delivery date.
I'm still very curious why BCW got their shipment over a week before anyone else did, I could see a day or two. Is BCW their preferred seller now?

So weird, when I looked earlier, UPS said delivery was this Thursday the 18th. Looked again just a minute ago and it says Saturday the 20th. I guess it must have missed leaving on the next truck. I shouldn't complain, it is free shipping.

It may have changed over the last couple of years. At one point, the late UpMan said that they ship the scanners to distributors, who in turn relay them to the retail sellers. Maybe BCW paid extra for air shipping to their location, whereas SM let it ride with 'standard shipping', ground freight via UPS or Fedex. Other than that, no idea, and I doubt that SM wants to discuss that lag time.
Mine finally updated at 8:30 with an expected arrival date.
I’d imagine things have changed as Uniden didn’t use to compete with resellers. They would hold off selling direct until the stock was sufficient enough that all sellers had an opportunity to make some money.
True.
"Back in the day", when you went to Uniden's site you might see a specific vendor highlighted. One time, say, ScannerMaster, the next, perhaps Bearcat Warehouse. Now, though as you note, nobody else is mentioned other than Uniden itself.
Mine still says processing but updates shipping date to week of 12/22.
Ditto.....

Except mine has been changed to Saturday. It's in Warwick Rhode Island now.
It's inching closer!

UPS had some sort of sorting issue in Muncie, IN and my SDS150 from BCW should now arrive today (12/17/25). No biggie; been too busy with work to mess with it yesterday anyhow.

The one thing you will notice is that you open your SDS100/SDS200 Sentinel File change it to SDS150 (After you upgrade to 3.00.1) newest version save as SDS150 and your name for the scanner and you will not have to play with filters ect. Me I run my SDS150 with Favorites set to Location YES and GPS on as I travel it turns my list on and off for me just like the SDS100's I have set up.
Ham Radio Outlet has the 150's in stock at most of their stores. Quick free shipping.
Just got my radio. Shipping from Scannermaster was great, right out the door as soon as they got them. I updated my delivery info at the UPS page so UPS would send me a text message to announce delivery; naturally, no text message, they just left the box in the middle of the porch where any porch pirate and their uncle could see it.
Anyway, scanner is in the charger and I've already updated the firmware and database, and loaded my default favorite lists. Scanning nicely, and audio sounds very nice; audio definitely sounds clearer than the SDS100.
Haven't done much else with it, although I'm building new favorite lists with ARC536 and making changes so I can fiddle with the GPS capability as I drive around.

Anaheim has none until January. They got five of them, I got the last one they had when they opened Thursday the 18th.
