DItto. Bought mine gently used back in 2019 for about $100 below retail

For me, it was a nice package deal.... No box, manual or original antenna, but included two new antennas (my Comet beat them!), external battery charger with extra battery, GPS unit (which I still have yet to use!)......AND all three pre-waterfall upgrades! ....For $700.... Problems? Nope. As I've been saying, pretty darn well satisfied with this! And now, I have to replace one of the two batteries (swelling issue just happened), but that's after 1 year, 3 months..... 🙃

After reading about the current sds100/200 scanners I finally decided to try one. What a big disappointment, this is the worst uniden scanner I have ever had going back to the bearcat Electra 3 that was my first. Returning this garbage as soon as I get return authorization. My Icom R6 runs circles around this thing.

I only got back into the scanner hobby, in 2016 after. Being out of it for nearly 30yrs.. Sure, Being out of it, for that long things have definitely changed. Like, Going from crystals, to P25(Simulcast). I definitely won't 'throw in the towel', on my SDS100. It will always be, a learning experience.
