There were a number of things that were added to the radio, like the filters and larger battery, after the radio was originally sold. Most would have been in firmware updates but the larger battery, of course, came along when it was ready since the original battery just wasn't a long-lasting battery. So those of us who bought or pre-ordered the SDS100 radio got the original, small battery and then we got the larger battery whenever it was finally released a few months later. So there are some things that will not be in the manual at all.
It is unfortunate that there's not a updated manual that Uniden has released. But for the most part, I think everything's been covered here on RR.com. I actually don't think anybody ever releases updated manuals when modifications are made nowadays? And few companies did it in years gone by.
There are a lot of cool things in the manual that have actually been features on radios going back as far as the BCD396XT. I never really used the features back then, and I can't even remember the name of the feature right now where you can directly go to a channel by pressing a series of numbers, but it really is helpful on the SDS100/200 and I use it a lot on those radios. I still have a lot of learning to do on some of the capabilities on my SDS radios including the CAT5 cable port. I don't stream anything but I've been thinking about streaming my own private feed just for fun. The only thing is I don't usually need to since I always have a radio with me and can still listen to the same things that would be playing on the SDS 200 at home haha. But it could come in handy if I was out of town and wanted to check in and listen to something back home. I just want to figure out how to use everything including the things that I really don't use too often. And I know the manual isn't always great at describing how to do these things.
I really miss Paul Opitz, UPman, because he busted his butt getting things right on each model and he had some really great ideas on how to make these radios we have today. I only hope that Uniden hires
somebody who can continue on even half as well as Paul did!
Sorry to run on so much in this reply but sometimes that happens...
