I just don’t see anything that makes it worth upgrading from the SDS100. Maybe seeing some real world tests on YouTube down the road will convince me otherwise.

FYI - Uniden states there is no GovX discount for the SDS150. For those who got it for less than $949, good job!
Hi Matt,
Another good question! So unfortunately, SDS150 pre-orders aren't eligible for any discounts or promotional codes - including GovX. I know this may not be the answer you were hoping for and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions.
Sincerely,
Sarah W.

If it does not fit your needs then you do not have to buy it. No one is standing here making those that cannot afford or need this scanner.
Budd - I'm buying it (already did) either way, but saw earlier posts about the discount and just wanted to update the group.

Matt that was not pointed at you it was for someone else the post above yours.
Is the G5 louder than the SDS, or other way around when cranked to max volume?
The G5 appears to be louder albeit more distorted. Both at 100%
@jasonhouk have you tried charlotte county yet? Seems the bands are opening up in FL. Try to see if you can get polk county stuff from where you are at.
Looks like i made it just under the wire

No Joy, zero signal from my location with stock antennas.
Thanks for the link to the 150 manual!

Yes thanks for the manual link.
I caught this in the sds150 manual. It looks like it has support for TDMA control channel.
My own opinion, but requiring extra equipment should be unnecessary, just to enjoy the device. For on-the-go updating, editing and interaction, that's one thing, but in order to just use wireless headphones, I shouldn't need three devices, all of which eat up battery time.
I like the idea of the "U/Aware" app. If Uniden decides not to produce a SDS250 then it would be a viable idea for me to replace the SDS200 with a SDS150 and connect to a smart phone via BT. That doesn't have to be my "main" smart phone as I don't think that internet connectivity is a requirement.
Something to think about.
