Digital performance cannot be better than analog performance, because all digital signals are encoded in analog waveforms. If analog performance sucked, it would take digital performance down with it.
Whistler announced the new I/Q technology in future scanner models exactly 7 days after Uniden announced the SDS100. You can come to your own conclusions.I alway wondered if whistler had a strategy of rumoring new models to get uniden to rush at least the sds200 to market and get sloppy, the whistler then backed out of the new models lol
No. There's plenty of digital in the UHF and VHF bands, like STARS and SIRN. The SDS scanners have no trouble keeping up with the x36 units on those systems. I run them side by side off a common antenna through a multicoupler.While that's true, they can be optimized for the 700/800MHz bands that are most likely be digital for scanner hobbyist.
I have explained several times exactly what they do, it's the same two filters used as in other scanners but it is the IF frequency that shifts with the different settings, but that doesn't help anyone as you need to analyse the frequency spectrum in real time and you have to know how a receiver works using IF frequencies and the receiver have issues that it receives frequencies from transmitters that are way off from your own monitored frequency.the filters SHOULD have a better explanation of EXACTLY what they do!
Very possible, but not needed. One of their own dealers did it to them with the SDS100.I alway wondered if whistler had a strategy of rumoring new models to get uniden to rush at least the sds200 to market and get sloppy, the whistler then backed out of the new models lol
I'd have to agree. My conventional is just fine, the 200 , 996P2, , 870, sds100 - ALL get almost identical reception using same antenna/multicoupler.That might be the case at your location or with your particular scanner, but as a blanket statement.... no, definitely not the case.

Do you think you could be able to somehow, someday, make improvements to the SDS scanners? Be it firmware, hardware, etc.
