The adapter works great jon! Low profile, easy on easy off - you do good work man! Thanks for that!
jonwienke's SMA to BNC Adapter
Hi jonwienke, I'd like to order additional SMC-BNC adapters. I don't have your web site, how can I order more. I'm converting my 2M radio's to BNC and your adapter works great. I know you said that you don't get PM's from me, so I'm hoping you'll see this.
Thank you

Just PayPal me $10 per adapter, plus $7.20 for flat rate shipping. jonwienke@gmail.com
Sent. Thank you
jonwienke, did you get my payment?
Wow! Really? $650.00 for a radio and you have to pay some third party $10 plus shipping for and adapter so antennas can fit? SHEEEEEEEEESH, you cannot make this up!
No one sees any problems here? Can this company EVER release a radio without silly design flaws?
Maybe they should hire some of Unication's engineers?

The bnc adapter provided works just fine. The 3rd party adapter has a better form factor for some users. Quick question do you own a SDS 100?
No he doesn't. He just likes expressing fact-deficient opinions about Uniden.
The supplied BNC that comes with sds100 works fine...
Even tho I have issues im learning more about intermod and finding frequencies that are provinf to be my main issue... mainly a cell tower direct los of my outdoor antenna and 2 nearby pager frequencies and 1 super nearby FM radio station and a longwire HF ham less then 300ft away.. (no pun Hams..)
You're darn tootin....... there is NO WAY I would dump $650.00 on a Uniden scanner based on the previous 436/536 debacles, especially as an early adopter.
Have any of the Uniden Engineers even looked at a G5? Battery size and usage time? size? etc.....? Performance?????
Has anyone seen the big fat rear end modified huge battery modification they made AFTER release? It's ridiculous. The thing heats up? Sure it does because they decided a christmas tree display with 9 thousand lights and excessive data would be a good idea. Unreal.
Numerous responding posters made my point....they gave you a BNC adapter that doesn't work!!! You have to buy a third party item to make it work. Think about that for a minute. The BNC adapter the engineers at Uniden provided DOES NOT WORK! LOL
And despite tons of hype about better simulcast reception, reports are that it is hot or miss depending upon your surrounding location and system. No better or worse than the 436. Apparently analog VHF and UHF sucks big time just like the 436.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice? No way.
Once does not need to own the unit to comment about what is being reported across the internet about a particular radio.

From what I'm reading, the BNC adapter works. Analog works fine on my 436. I don't know for certain, but I sense a lot of FUD being spread in your post.
Then why does everyone need to buy an adapter?
Another post making my point. All those issues from a $650.00 radio?
I'm sorry, but at $650.00 we are at the professional grade radio price point and with additional upgrades putting the radio even higher in cost, certainly in that range. Fort that kind of money Uniden needs to step up and produce a radio akin to the pro grade performance of the G5 and stop producing toys.
I had TWO 436s and they were BOTH horrific receivers. Maybe yours was built on the day where they were paying attention....
I am not spreading anything but the truth, and those who are honest with themselves will agree. The Uniden fanboys and others will convince themselves that this is a great unit to justify spending SIX HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS (or more if you want the upgrades), on a radio not perfected prior to release and marginally reliable to receive radio systems and frequencies dependent upon location and conditions.
We all know deep down that you CANNOT offer a wide banded frequency spectrum, and digital P2 and simulcast all in one radio and not expect it to suffer deficiencies somewhere. That is why Unication offers their units in limited frequency range offerings, and one reason why their receivers work so well, especially on simulcast systems.

It is no good on simulcast systems, but works well on everything else I have programmed into it.
You are not spreading the truth as others have stated the BNC adapter works. You're saying it doesn't work at all. I'm not a fanboy and was quite upset with the 436 not working on simulcast.
However, I'm seriously looking into a scanner that can cover more than a couple of bands. Some of us can't use a Unication pager to cover our needs. It gets so tiring reading the comparisons between Unication and Uniden. They are two distinct products designed for two distinct markets. I like to listen to the air bands, so Unication is out.
No need for caps/shouting. It doesn't help the persuasion factor.

Everyone does not need to buy a adapter. It is available if ppl want it. Stating that everyone needs to buy one is misleading.
