The button under DEPT on the display.
Does it change the firmware back to like when I got it out of the box
No. Firmware stays the same as well as paid upgrades (NXDN Provoice DMR)
If it doesn't change the firmware back are they any need to do that I was going to see if that would help with the frequencies giving trouble
How I do that
It resets the scanner back the way it was when brand new. Pretty sure you will need to upload any fav lists back. Been years since I did a reset. If scanner settings are out of whack it could fix them. If site settings in you fav list are out of whack, or any other errors in programming, a reset will not fix.
If your having signal issues on the scanner as well as your sdr programs, pretty safe bet that it’s not the scanner. You also never responded to any of the people asking you if the antenna is being split between sdr and scanner and what and how much coax your using.

will that be 2, 7 ifx and middle button
To perform a complete factory reset like it came from Uniden :
1) With scanner turned OFF:
2) Press and hold #2, #9 and middle key below screen.
3) While holding all 3 keys turn ON power to reset to factory default.
,
but again,
and again, if your having signal issues on the scanner as well as your sdr programs, pretty safe bet that it’s not the scanner. You also never responded to any of the people asking you if the antenna is being split between sdr and scanner and what and how much coax your using.

What would it say on the display after reset
Honestly do not know. I only did it once and that was a long time ago. From what I remember, I believe it restarts when its finished.
Watch here
Do I press and hold 2, 7 and middle then power or 2, 9 and middle then power at the same time, I tried both ways but it never says set clock

Are we talking
Follow the instructions on page 37 of the manual
Turn on the sdd200 wait for it to stsrt
Push the SQUELCH button
Rotate the large Function knob and select SETTINGS
select that
Now rotate the large Function know again and select RESTORE OPTIONS
under that, select CLEAR USER DATA and confirm
Turn the scanner off
You now have a "factory new" scanner
Use Sentinel to put a new database on the card
An SDS200.??

Still the same
I had another antenna up it was a Pulse 806-866MHz with 11 dbi and it done good with the Sdr that's before the SDS 200 then I got a PCTEL 806-896 16 dbi could that be too much gain and picking up interference for the scanner at 851 and 852 are would the frequency difference between antennas could be weaker at 851 and 852

I think you are chasing an issue that doesn’t exist and were given the likely answer here:
I tried another system that my 996P2 it gets 5 bars and the 200 gets 2 bars, the system I listen to but it's simulcast the 996P2 gets 5 bars it just gets distorted that's why I got the SDS 200 doesn't make any sense why it's different it has all the frequencies have the same ERP and watts
They can use directional antenna patterns as well and this isn't disclosed on the license, so if you're outside or on the edge of their jurisdictional boundaries you will find a decreased received signal level.
