CD's are cheaper.That's cause your still paying for those 100 tapes for a dollar from Columbia House right?

What next, CB and Aviation going simulcast digital? I better shut my mouth before I give them any ideas 😒 Damned hobby keeps getting more and more expensive. Nothing like needing a $450 radio to listen to taxis and lobstermen🥴
No, because I wouldn't! 😅Well, look at it this way:
In 1980, a 16 channel analog only programmable scanner was $399.00
In 2022 dollars, that works out to about $1400.00
Can you imagine if you had to pay $1,400.00 for a 16 channel analog scanner?

So will the Uniden SDS100/200 be capable of listening to this "new" digital radio system?
Two main concerns:
Proper implementation such that the vocoder doesn't get overwhelmed by noise (a motor small vessel underway is noisy indeed) either from being underway and/or storms. Second, given my great respect for the experience of MMckenna this needs to be idiot proof, given the challenges and considerable expertise he notes is needed to make his NXDN system(s) sound good.
With that said I have no qualms about nxdn audio quality I have monitored, it was much better than that awful sounding (my 2 cents) narrow band analog (ie 2.5khz deviation).
Yes. No. Maybe. It's the same as every single Uniden question. We won't know until they tell us. But at this rate, my money is on NO.So will the Uniden SDS100/200 be capable of listening to this "new" digital radio system?

Umm try again. NXDN is an open standard and both Whistler and Uniden already use it. Yes scanners can and will be fine on both marine and rail NXDN that is unencrypted.Yes. No. Maybe.

Nobody said that marine was going NXDN, it was stated it was LIKE NXDN. So YOU try again. dPMR is not NXDN. So just like the SDS can't listen to Yaesu Fusion even though it is C4FM and AMBE like P25, it can't listen to a different protocol like dPMR even though the CODEC is similar to NXDN.Umm try again. NXDN is an open standard and both Whistler and Uniden already use it. Yes scanners can and will be fine on both marine and rail NXDN that is unencrypted.
Did you even read the report? NXDN doesn't have the address space for the MMSI data. Exactly what was posted in post #11 in this thread. They also went on to say they would rather use dPMR as it's an open standard. If the two are so similar tell me more about how you can listen to dPMR with your NXDN enabled SDS...I'll wait.ITU is pushing NXDN hard. But just like with railroads some will naysay until the day some user broadcasts it. NXDN is a globally usable format, fully open standard, and readily available. Logistics will win out and it will be NXDN. But believe what you want.
FWIW, the USCG site has talked in general about 6.25 kHz channels for at least 11 years. However, that page hasn't really changed beyond just specifying the method of channel numbering.
