Hello everyone.
A few days ago, I posted regarding my decision to purchase the SDS 100.
Reflecting on cost and complexity, this has been a very difficult decision to make..
MStep’s comment about Radio Reference (RR), YouTube and enthusiasts, is spot on. Prior to any major purchase I spend time on forums and YouTube trying to learn as much as I can about a product and I am grateful for the expertise available. Fortunately for me, I have received some good advice from members.
I agree with Ratboy; after reading through the Uniden manual I can see where the manual could scare a consumer away. I have read the “Easier to Read” SDS 100 manual (thank you Mark) and my first thought is yikes, no way! I spent an hour just trying to figure out the various initials I saw in the manual and often on RR and I am still clueless.
APCO 25 Phase 1 and Phase 2, X2-TDMA Motorola EDACS, LTR l, P25, Talk Groups , DMR, MotoTRBO … Huh?
Vendors want to sell me NXDN, I don’t even know what that is!
My decision is made; I will purchase the SDS 100 scanner because I believe it is important to know what is going on around me.
But, does it really have to be this complex?
I’ll likely will have many questions and I appreciate the help I have already received from RR members, thanks.
Take care,
Kevin
