Have my TRX-2 and DSD+ running the same site on an NXDN system right now. DSD+ is set up to trunk track. Hearing the same transmissions about the same time. My TRX-1 can keep up with the 436HP on the same Con+ system.

Now that's a video you should post, since Unication is the current gold standard for LSM decode. I monitor Ohio MARCS which is LSM hell in most parts of NE Ohio, and I get nothing less than 100% perfect decode on my G4, even when mobile driving across 2 counties. I also get awesome weak signal reception when I switch to a Moto 700/800 antenna.
Not bashing...just would be interesting to see and hear.

Maybe I missed it somewhere but I'm more interested in the how. How were the simulcast issues corrected? In my area and the surrounding counties it is almost nothing but simulcast and we have always been told that in order for a scanner to properly scan simulcast systems the price of the scanner would jump up near the price of a duty radio. Obviously something has changed. I understand its "software defined" but that really don't tell me much. Are you able to be a little specificm

That's because the TRX doesn't trunk those at all. It scans them conventionally. The user radios won't monitor conventional dmr in trunked mode either.
But I have to give you credit for finding the ONE case where the TRX will work better - when a trunked system changes to conventional. How many times has that happened in the USA? That may be the only one.

Nope - not just one.... try again.
Since you seem to know, just tell us how many trunked dmr systems have changed to conventional. Two?
UPMan, when you return to this thread I hope you can pick out the questions from within the ever-increasing noise & static of the whiners and complainers, 'cause I have a couple of questions:
1. Antenna - I gather from the owner's manual this is the same old SMA rubber duck antenna that has come with other Uniden handhelds. When you were comparing reception between the 436 and the SDS, were they both using that rubber duck antenna?
2. Any indication if the SDS is picking up signals at a greater "range" than the x36? I guess I'm partly asking about range and partly sensitivity.
3. The material mentions an 8GB card. How big is supported?
4. I assume this is USB again (according to the manual). Is it still USB 1.1 or 2.0 in terms of transfer speeds or can we expect some speed improvement?
I really like the look of the screen in those comparison and performance videos - between that and the manual it appears that a lot of the things people have requested in the display (big for old farts and small for people who want a lot of data, and color for those who like color, and customizable for all) you guys took into consideration. Well done.
Also the battery pack and the water resistance... if people weren't so quick to gripe and moan they'd notice that these are the things that they've put in 'wish list' posts for a number of years. And obviously it's going to cost a few bucks more.
Anyway thanks for all your work and hope my questions don't get lost in the clutter.

Ok, so that's no on the integrated GPS question. Extremely disappointed, but it's not the end of the world. So what sort of GPS solution are we to expect from the SDS100? The currently available BC-GPSK and it's associated nest of wires, or some sort of "one cord solution?"
If there isn't a "one cord solution" planned for the SDS, I'm gonna pass. Having integrated GPS in my 436 is beyond wonderful. I could live with one cord for the GPS.
RR Lists 2 simulcast "sites" 1 - 12 site, 1 4 sites. IS that incorrect?

They are using the I/Q stream to decode instead of the discriminator.
well if you read the fact that they are using I/Q like the SDR's LSM issues are eliminated also overall reception should be way better as well, but we need to see a side by side comparison of the SDS100 to a system radio in an LSM environment or a G4/5 to accurately know for sure
Trunking or no trunking , I've been listening to NXDN for over a year on my TRX-1. More than I can say for any Uniden.
A gps dongle would be sweet.
True. But if uniden trunks nxdn it will be the nxdn leader.
The teaser videos Upman posted on Youtube have audio from MARCS.

1. I do not answer to you.
2. Paul even reported one himself in the last few days: https://forums.radioreference.com/t...m/367470-bass-enterprises-ftw-dmr-system.html

Could you post the recorded audio. I'm s Railfan and will need NXDN support.

Translation: you have no idea. Don't go making claims if you can't back them up.
Paul posted one. You posted one. That's two known. Maybe two more at most?
