Hey all, sorry for not being around much, things got kinda busy with all the COVID stuff (fortunately not for me though ). Anyway, want to post this to hopefully save someone else from going through what i just went through. Forst off, a BIG WARNING to all of us that own a Uniden SDS100, DO NOT, and i mean DO NOT attempt to remove the SD card that comes in the scanner when you get it, the metal holder that keeps it in place will fail if it is opened, it`s happened to me (this is my second scanner that`s suffered this failure, there is no fix that the user can do to rectify the problem, and you will be replacing your unit. Sadly Uniden once again went cheap and put the SD card receptacle in the batterey compartment and secured it with the aformentioned metal holder, to get what i mean open the batterey compartment on the back of the unit and remove the batterey, you will see the SD card receptacle secured by a small metal cover (what i call the "clip"), do not try to change the SD card without someone there to assist, this metal cover is not hinged securly and it will come out VERY EASILY. So that said, do yourself a favor and don`t even try to do anything with the SD card holder in the SDS100 portable scanner, it`s just ot worth the headache, and the possible heartache (not to mention the financial outlay to replace your now`damaged scanner too). P.S. I`d post some pics to show what i`m getting at, but i`ve no good way to get the set off my cellphone onto my PC to post them or i would, sorry about that.
