New Uniden SDS100 Handheld

[W5RGP]

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.

working great for me, i hear what i want too i dont care how they get it done if it works
my local so and pd are part of a 7 county system

I lockout the tg's i dont want to hear

did a ridealong the other night with an officer here that i worked with several yrs ago I had 1 of my trx1's with me and it locked on to everything we heard on his radio, sometimes it would pick up before his radio would
beat his hand held more times then mobile though

if uniden came out with a paid firmware update to my 436 and 536 id have credit card info to them in no time also but a new radio should already do dmr and nxdn out of the box

NXDN, DMR, etc, etc....

You can add all the letters of the alphabet if you want, but once they RR database adds the letter "E" to more and more agencies, it will make no difference what brand radio you have.

Wow it took longer than I thought for that letter to show up in the thread. Congrats you broke the seal.

FYI here's a YouTube video that I just stumbled upon regarding the Uniden SDS100 at Universal Radio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqwbi5Hx3Ec

Is there a connection between that video and the original post? Hmmmm

It doesn't say anything that hasn't been said here except he doesn't like Universal Radio.

Legit

Universal Radio is a legit and reputable merchant and they routinely post future products even when it hasn't been FCC approved. For some reason Uniden probably didn't want it posted yet and asked them to pull it. The blogger happened to snag the page and got dibbs on the info. Now we know, so get ready for it!

Here's an example of one not approved yet.
IC-9700

Here's another with an FCC update and taking pre-orders (they won't on the above status)
CTX-10
https://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/hamhf/6010.html

They even had one future product put on indefinite hold that still showed up.

SDS-100 - It's coming

Haha, well, while you guys are turning blue waiting for this thing to materialize, I'll have graduated to the AR-DV10.

That's cool but that is a communications receiver not a scanner.I need something able to do p-25 trunking which the DV10 cannot do. I know it can do a lot of things but not really a scanner a wide band receiver with a scanning function yes. Anyway I hope you enjoy it when you get it.

I've in this thread since pretty early on but I've been thinking. Who the hell cares? If the radio comes out, it comes out. If it doesn't, it doesn't. We're no worse off.

Admittedly, I have to qualify that. I'm not nearly as involved in scanning as many of the people here. My Unidens are kept up to date but I'm not a fanatic about keeping one on all the time. That may be great for some people but it's just not me. I have enough going on that I probably couldn't pay attention to them if they were on all the time anyway.

 

[rs16]

Very interesting. I know many folks here have things they'd like to see. I'd be happy with a larger display than the 436 for starters.

Ah, but it does/will...

This is from the flyer:

Don't see anything about trunking in the listed modes. If it was capable, they would be advertising it. It has also been pointed out that when scanner functions were suggested (by the employee getting feedback from the beta testers) after the AR-DV1 was released that the chairman's words were something to the effect of "we make communications receivers, not scanners"

If it does it, great. I don't think it will given their track record and poor view of scanner users.

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.

And my point was that Universal "took it down". I couldn't have made that more clear, as I even made Universal caps.

Woo hoo! They are still selling the BC210! I found a snapshot from Google! (yes - sarcasm of course)

UPMan did say in the UPMan will be away for a while thread that there is something on the horizon that we will go ape over.

The P2 scanners and HP2 came out of nowhere. No one posted any info until Uniden officially announced them.

UPMAN has also said in the past that there has never been a time since he has been at uniden where they have not continued to develop new products.

Well, seeing as there is no conventional mode P25 phase 2...

Actually, seeing that you brought it up in your sarcasm, the BC210 is currently listed on the Universal Radio website. LOL You don't even have to go and find a snapshot of it from Google as you can go directly to the source. Here's the link to the BC210 at the UNIVERSAL RADIO website: https://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/scanners/BC210.html

For completeness they also have the BC210XL (https://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/scanners/BC210XL.html), the BC210XW (https://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/scanners/BC210XW.html) and the BC210XLT (https://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/scanners/BC210XLT.html) currently listed on their website.

My guess is that it will decode P25 on a voice channel, not track a trunking system. A radio capable of tracking a trunked system would be such a departure from their business model that I would expect them to be shouting it from rooftops, yet the word trunking appears nowhere on their website or in their literature.

OK. I'll give you that one. I don't see the price though. How much are they selling them for?

Who would have thought it would have been listed for sale?

 

[n9mxq]

Everyone arguing what it may or may not do..

I'm betting these "slips" are engineered to build hype, funny how it always seems to be the same vendor letting the cat loose.. look at how much has been generated here..

Congrats Uniden.. it did just what you wanted it to.

I wouldn't give that one to him. There is a link on the page to their used equipment for sale. It is quite possible that they could get one in and actually sell it.

Yet. I don't think that there's any reason you can't have a two slot P25 conventional channel. After all, you can have DMP two slot in conventional mode. Both are TDMA. One slot could be voice, the other data such as AVL.
