SDS100/SDS200: New SDS Firmware is here!

[tvengr]

Function and the power button works on my SDS100. Just press the power button for a short time. Holding it turns the scanner off.

That's for the SDS100. I have that and it works fine. Is there a similar function for the SDS200?

press and release function button then press and release power button
Just done this on both sds100's with firmware 1.23.03
and it works
Do not confuse FUNCTION with MENU it is the little small button above menu on the left side of your sds100

There is no power/light button on the SDS200. Pressing the volume knob just changes the brightness.

 

[garys]

That part I know. What I don't know is how to activate the keypad lock on the SDS200 or if that function is even available.

In the SDS100 firmware update change log, it says Added KEY LOCK Mode. That is not shown in the SDS200 firmware update change log. It is safe to say that key lock is not available on the SDS200.

Thank you.

Note that my SDS100 will not stay locked, when you power it off and on again it is unlocked, so you have to lock it every time you use it, unlike the older models that stayed locked until you unlocked them.

After this being out a while now how has the results been for everyone? I know it’s a YMMV thing but curious to see if a majority are seeing anny improvement. Due to the holiday madness I haven’t been able to update yet so I’m curious.

Well, I updated with mixed results. My vote is unless you are having problems with the older FW or just want to try the Waterfall, I would advise staying with the older FW for a while yet.

I just got my new SDS100, updated the firmware v01.23.03, and lo and behold, the new waterfall feature works right out of the box (Menu->Waterfall)! I didn't have to purchase an upgrade license first.

Does it function/move or have a message about needing a key?

 

[whistl034]

You are correct. It appears to work, shows a screen and lets me listen to raw audio where the cursor is, the wheel moves the cursor across the screen, but it won't scroll frequency beyond that.

And in tiny letters at the top, which I did not spot earlier, it states "upgrade required - press any key to return"

Waterfall works properly now I upgraded. Thanks again!

 

[crippledchicken]

I installed the Waterfall now, to figure out exactly how to use it. LOL!

Is there an updated list for Remote Commands ??

I have requested that. I will also ask if it can be made public.

Have Uniden come up with a way for us plebs over in Australia to get the latest firmware/features for our USDS100?

 

[buddrousa]

Yes it is named Scannermaster.com bearcatwarehouse.com zipscanners.com

 

[gdaykoloa]

Does anyone have any pointers on getting the latest firmware for a USDS-100 (Australian version)? Our version of Sentinel is still 2.0.2, and firmware checks show that the current version (sans Waterfall) is all we've got. From past experience, trying to run the US version of Sentinel didn't end well, which is, I believe, why there is the AU specific version and firmware...
