Because it's likely that someone signed and NDA and posting those images violated it. Taking it down was necessary, even though nothing really dies on the Internet.
At the least there are some upset people at Uniden. The person who posted that might find themselves disinvited from future events.
As I recall, Uniden doesn't exhibit at CES, but they do have a by invitation only "Hospitality Suite", where there might be some sneak previews. Since CES was only a couple of weeks ago, it's possible that where the images came from.
In some parts of the country both NXDN and DMR are used for public safety. Both are much less expensive than P25 equipment and some agencies don't have the money for P25.

I'm talking about the blog post, not the listing on Universal Radio. I can make a blog post identical to the one that disappeared earlier, no NDAs involved.
You can, because you weren't a party to an NDA. The person who put up the blog post either was or got information directly from someone who was a party to a NDA.
There's also a matter of credibility. You repeating someone elses blog post isn't all that credible since you have no first hand knowledge.
I'd like this to be real, but I strongly question the part about "an integrated SDR feature turns the scanner into a wide band DC to Daylight RF analysis tool" being accurate, unless someone thinks "daylight" starts by 2GHz. But if it is, I want to fabricate a tiny 1/4-wave ground plane and start scanning longwave IR frequencies just because reasons.
Never said it would be gone. But, they are no longer pushing it and if you search their website you won't find it.
If you "can't take it down", please post the link FROM UNIVERSAL.

I think you need to embrace technology. SDRs are one of the biggest advancements in radio monitoring technology in decades. The things you can do are only limited by software development.
More than a Uniden SDR scanner, I would like to see a SDR dock for an iPhone or Android device, and use the hardware power of the phone with the SDR. Make it open source and let everyone work on software development.
I'm no stranger to SDR, I own a bunch of dongles and do ADS-B monitoring, and yes, there's a lot you can do with one (and a nice chunk of processing power and a lot of memory), but they're still a long way from a traditional radio receiver.
Lets for the moment assume that this mythical SDS100 is real. I'd find it very hard to believe that it will be available for purchase before mid-2018, most likely late 4Q 2018 at the earliest (being very optimistic). That's also assuming that Uniden learned from mistakes made during the x36HP rollout. If I were you, I'd hold on to the 436 and enjoy it.
It is amusing, though, to read through this thread.

That's funny, since we're discussing mysteriously disappearing listings/posts about a product the supposed manufacturer won't confirm...
Based on what I read, provided that info holds up, it should.

it was posted a few days ago uniden wasnt even at ces this year private suite or anything

A lot of us share the same feeling. Unication has proven it can be done, and for a reasonable cost. If I were to bet, Uniden will not omit this in the engineering of their next product.
As you requested, here is the current Google cache snapshot of the Uniden SDS100 page that was posted at Universal Radio until it was removed earlier today: https://webcache.googleusercontent..../scanners/6100.html+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

yep and NXDN and DMR without having to pay another upgrade fee
Now post what I asked - the link FROM UNIVERSAL. I even made that caps in the request, too. What you posted is from webcache.googleusercontent.com, not Universal.
If you really can't "take it down" then it should still be there. Personally I get a '404' when trying to view it, so it must have been taken down. Prove me wrong.
So how is that trunking working on the Whistler DMR and NXDN? Have they released that part yet? (and I'm not talking about scanning a trunked system conventionally which is so 90's... and exactly what Whistler does)
I admit it's an interesting way to circumvent the license fees which is what Uniden users are paying, but it's 'so ghetto' as some of the guys say. I'm glad Uniden did things the right way.
I never stated that Universal Radio did not remove the page from their website. That is clearly evident from the 404 error that you now get when going to that page.
The point I was making is that with Google cache you can still view the webpage (at the link I provided above) even though it has been removed from the Universal Radio website. Therefore you cannot really "take it down" from the internet entirely just by removing it from your own website.
