sds100-GPS

You could power it all with a rechargable battery pack that has USB power out. I can't think of any reason to do so although it's possible. I'll set it up tomorrow and report.

Was the Alias ID's being displayed above the TGID or was that the Text Tag for the TGID? Is the scanner storing the Alias ID's or did you already have these saved?

 

[jasonhouk]

It's decoding them from the system. The data for the aliases are in the data stream.

It was catching the alias ID's very fast. We normally see the UID flash, then the Alias ID. Using the next version of firmware or 1.20?

I haven't tested UID/aliases on the X36HP with the latest FW. I will be back down this weekend and advise.

Why would you think the SDS-100 firmware is in any way related/compatible to BCDx36 firmware?

 

[buddrousa]

Maybe because he is a SDS100 BETA TESTER

 

[jasonhouk]

I'm not positive but today is Friday and we just updated the SDS's FW this morning so maybe a FW update to the X36HP!

Their firmware's are alike in many ways yet different as well.

What does the fact that Jason is a beta tester have anything to do with what I asked werinshades? He's salivating over the speed which aliases are displayed on a completely different piece of technology than what uses the firmware he referenced. I'm just curious as to how he made the leap in logic over that veritable chasm.

I didn't know that question was directed at me, so I didn't respond. But Jason answered it, so no further comment needed.

Seems to me that quite a few people assume the SDS-100 is just a 436 in different clothing, and that if the SDS-100 can do something, so can the 436, or if the 436 is deficient in one area, so is the SDS-100 (hence all the questions as to whether it will "work" in this area or that area plagued by LSM).

To avoid confusion, was this statement directed at me again or are you just making a generalized statement? I don't want you to feel like I'm ignoring you...lol!

In general.

 

[werinshades]

In general.

Most questions are pretty legitimate. It's a new product, and from what I've seen much improved over it's predecessor 436. Only time will tell when others are using it. The last video that Jason put out was of a NXDN 9600 system that the 436/536 were having some difficulties trunking it. I'm very impressed....or as you said "salivating"...lol!

 

[ur20v]

The questions regarding whether it will work in their specific area with severe LSM distortion just prove that those asking haven't been paying any attention. If you live somewhere where your scanner is swamped with simulcast distortion, yes, the SDS-100 is going work. That's the nature of the new (to Uniden) technology and the whole point. https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Simulcast_digital_distortion

Ah haaaaa! It appears my observation was correct! In Firmware 1.21.00 the NXDN Alias ID's are being decoded and displayed a little faster! I'm trying to figure out if they are now auto stored. I'm salivating again...lol!

No auto store to my knowledge but I'll see if that's a feasible option.

Have you come up with a GPS solution when not in a vehicle?

I could see an internal GPS solution on a handheld being advantageous if you take a commuter bus or paratransit, a car or vanpool, a light rail train, or a commuter train to and from work, or if you take a cross country Greyhound bus or Amtrak train trip.
You'd be crossing multiple jurisdictions in many cases, at least when traveling cross country if not in a metro area, going from the suburbs into the city or across multiple cities, and you may not know where those jurisdictional boundaries are, especially out of your home area.
An internal GPS, without needing wires and an outboard power source, would be a big help in automatically, and discreetly, selecting and deselecting systems as you travel. You'd only need an earphone for discreet listening.

That's one of the reasons I developed the internal GPS mod I do for the 436 and HomePatrols. And I intend to engineer one for the SDS100 as soon as I can get my grubby paws on one.

The internal GPS also minimizes wiring clutter when doing standard scanning in a vehicle. It gets good enough reception in typical vehicles to keep satellite lock unless you're in a tunnel or the basement of a parking garage.

John I will say this again I have 12 UNIDEN GPS BASED SCANNERS I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BUY 12 GPS UNITS WHEN ONLY 2 WILL BE USED IN THE FIELD.
