I believe Jeff was only offering UPS ground. The reason some have it already is because they live closer to the shipping location in Texas.

Makes sense that you live close to the hub and get ground delivery the next day.

That's the reason mine showed up so fast. I live about 30 miles from the distribution center.
I haven't yet unboxed it. Been out on the road all week and got home half sick. Looking forward
to getting it going sometime today.

Got my email from Bearcat Warehouse earlier today that my '200 is being shipped today!

Everyone is getting shipping notices from The Ham Station. I'm beginning to feel a little left out. I could really use some good news after the way this week has gone. I hope my order doesn't get skipped over...

Just a quick shout out and thanks to Jeff at The Ham Station. My SDS200 was indeed shipped out Thursday, and will arrive early this coming week. Jeff contacted me to tell me he had trouble getting tracking numbers for a few of his orders, but sure enough, he provided one to me on Friday morning.

I've been a little busy but I wanted to express how impressed I was that he was up at 5am Friday working on this problem to take care of his customers.

That is dedication, and displays a sense of responsibility to his customers. Mine is due to arrive Tuesday, mainly because UPS Ground is 3 business days to my location from TX.

Scannermaster told me this morning, there delivery was delayed due to weather, but it should be there today or Monday, and would ship out right out when they get it, but would be Monday if they got it too late today, after ups already had picked up for the day.

Thanks for the update, I haven't heard from them other than the credit card getting charged

Yeah, if it wasn’t for calling them I would not know anything. I don’t know if they getting them at their store then ship all the way to Texas or ship from Texas

I think they do have to get them at the store first and then they will ship it to your house. I've ordered plenty from them over the years and don't recall ever getting something direct from a distributor the way I have from Ham Station.

That’s what I was thinking

At first I was on the fence about it. Now I sole my 436 and will be grabbing this scanner even though I already have a sds100

Who else changed their mind?

I learned my lesson well with the SDS100, waiting until the very last week before the large battery production runs to buy mine. Waiting all those weeks and reading reviews and complaints and tirades and hesitant to pull the trigger, all for naught. If I would have adhered to all of the negative advice given here I would have missed out on one fantastic radio. You know what they say about opinions, and that's all that is posted here when you get right down to it. Personal hands-on experience and your own knowledgeable expertise speaks volumes. I hope future would-be buyers are not influenced or intimidated by the on-coming hordes of Uniden haters that will undoubtedly do their best to undermine the success of Uniden's SDS200. Think for yourselves and simply buy from a retail outlet with a 30-day money back guarantee and you'll have nothing to lose. I can't recall even one post from anyone here that bought the SDS100 and it did not work for them and they were stuck with the radio. Either they kept the scanner, or they got a refund. Don't miss out on this one!

I agree I was more hesitant just because I already have the 100 but I decided that I’m going to use the 200 as a base in my house. I’m super satisfied with the 100 love it. I ignored the complaints for that one too!

Got mine from Ham Station. Tracking said it went from Dallas to Chicago and is now on it's way to central Illinois. So yes, they are shipping direct.

Anyone know the difference between the sds100 and sds200 start up? 200 never gives the option to choose between serial port and program. Have the micro usb plugged into the back.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like you ordered too late for the first batch - Uniden did say they would only have limited quantities initially, and more would be available later in February.
