Sds 200

[Enjoi19]

Would i need this for just a couple of counties?

It's not a requirement in any way to scan - it's a deeper feature for enthusiasts to scan for new frequencies and activity in the spectrum.

Cool thanks, I think Ill pass on it for right now.

No, it's just a option available to geek on, if you wish. Some users are all about the waterfall. You can customize the colors, the frequency range, the bandwidth and other features.

You don't "need" the waterfall option to monitor your systems of choice. It can be an interesting tool to see additional frequencies in use around the ones you are interested in, and in some cases, it may may finding the source of interference. But you do not "need" it to monitor your systems.

After you get used to your SDS200, you may want to get the waterfall display. Helps identify a close signal bleeding over what you’re listening to. Just wish UNIDEN would do a split screen with frequency on top and waterfall on the bottom while scanning.

The Waterfall is essentially a band scope that lets you set limits above and a below a frequency you select to see how active that range of frequencies are. It's an Option available on the SDS line, that's available from Uniden for $50 I think. I have it, but I rarely use it.

$20. It can be useful, but not critical.

197 will pick up the same as the sds200.
If you program the sites, and use ATT feature.
The 197 is an amazing scanner on P25

Yes, the sds200 is great.
But if you don't have the $600 to spend.
The 197 will do the same, if the SITES settings are tweaked

Sorry for the late reply. Work has been crazy. It's working 99% of the time which I am good with. It's still throwing error codes..1 0and 5 I think. But I can login and just click start or redo the URL/IP and it'll work again

Waterfall could be interesting to watch in the dark along with a Mary Jane.

along with a Mary Jane.

And a Betty Lou 😉

I can't find MJanes any more , they are great 😀

Where I live, they're everywhere..... *rolls eyes*

There's plenty around here too!
