SDS100/SDS200: SDS100 impressions/filters

Yes I tested aircraft band to some extent and invert worked amazingly!! I will do more tests on air band when I can get a constant distant signal (atis etc).

My local VOR is 108.2. I was getting a lot of FM broadcast interference, switching filter to invert definitely work.
Thanks!

Now I DO have a question... when I travel and use the full database where should I start filter wise?

You can only use the common global setting in the profile for the database. The best would be auto or wide auto but that would make the scan rate ridicously slow. Just leave it at normal. If you know that you would like to include aircraft frequencies 118-137 the invert setting are probably the best as it otherwise seems to be easily overloaded by FM broadcast.

I’m going to start doing that for my favorite lists. Determining the best filter for each site and conventional frequency.

I’m constantly editing in both the radio and Sentinel reading and writing to sync.

Now I DO have a question... when I travel and use the full database where should I start filter wise? I’m going to Lake George New York in a couple weeks and won’t have time to play with filters to determine which is the best. It’s pretty much all analog conventional. I’m going to bring the 100 not the 436.

That would be up to you as you listen. Maybe start with current Global setting and if it sounds bad, make the necessary changes?

Thank you. I’ll try normal for full database. By the way Ubbe I’ve always found your posts very useful and informative.
