If I understand correctly, when you turn on the 150, GPS is enabled. When you enter the zip code it's disabled. Is this correct?

...Anyone seen and carrying cases available for it yet? I guess ill have to sell my SDS100 carrying case.

What I enjoy about ordering from scanner master is that they give a discount based upon how large your cart is. I’m waiting for them to have both a nylon case and SDS150 in stock before I order mine.

FYI Scanner Master already has 3 different carrying cases for the SDS150 listed as "Coming Soon" on their website:

SDS150 - Uniden Nylon Case/Swivel Belt Clip $32.95
SDS150 - Uniden Soft Leather Case/Swivel Belt Clip $37.95
SDS150 - Uniden Hard Leather Case/Swivel Belt Clip $39.95

Hello everyone,
I'm from Germany. My question is whether the Mode Tetra (direct) will also be available as an optional cash purchase for the SDS 150?

Perhaps @jasonhouk knows more about this.


Thanks for your answers

You have one true or false parameter that you are trying to apply to an entry: Encrypted or not encrypted. Rather than creating 25 new tags, this data should be stored in its own field.
We had a "wish list" that JoeBearcat where holding but I don't expect him to have handed that over to Uniden before he jumped ship.
But there I had a suggestion to have a user selection in the scanners settings for "Encryption: Ignore" that would ignore the TG's that where decoded as having encryption to be totally ignored as if the TG where not active and continue to monitor the systems other TG's in its usual way. If the selection where instead set to "Mute" it would just silence the audio but stay on the encrypted call so we could look at the UID and TG numbers and if it for some reson switched to clear mode it would unmute.

As it is done now the scanner skips the whole site and system as soon as it detects, false trigger or true, an encrypted call.
