SDS100 Prerelease Discussion

[I900D658]

bcd **36

what about us do we not get some kind of upgrade like nxdn

 

[UPMan]

I will not discuss other model features or lack in this thread. Go somewhere else.

GPS is USB like BCD325P2.

 

[W5RGP]

As to NXDN, if I promise to fully address this next week, can you promise to keep this thread on the topic of the SDS100? I am only here for one more day, then have to go set up a trade show in Louisville.[/QUOTE]


Yea i can wait a week have fun at mats
I was gonna be there but taking some hometime instead

Upgrades: Same price.

Performance: No one will believe me if I try to describe how much better it is than any other scanner. Both weak signal and simulcast performance are phenomenal. You'll have the opportunity to see some videos in a variety of situations.

SDR on a scanner. I can't wait to order one! Outstanding.

I am not going to speculate, or Uniden bash . I will be watching this thread with great interest. I just don't want to see a thousand thread's get splintered off of this one ! .

I'm thinking after the "Hoop-La" of the BCD *36 this scanner will have a hard time getting the same attention.

Is there a resume button? That is the biggest flaw of the hp series.

It will get the same if not more attention. You can tell by the way this thread is going already.

 

[scanmanmi]

Everybody has all these requests so here's mine. Can I get it to transmit?

Why? if you place a hold, you can release it with one button (x36) or screen press (HomePatrol) already.

From what I have seen in the videos, it seems that Uniden has been hard at work developing this new scanner. While I do not live in an area with LSM issues, I have no doubt that a year from now I will have this radio on my shelf next to the others. Again, great job Mr Opitz, you have earned that salary bonus! Thank you!

I was skeptical about the LSM performance reading the original posts and upman's videos make me less skeptical but in the wrong direction if you think this scanner will fix your LSM issues.

First of all, to say you've seen Motorola radios struggle with LSM and use it as an excuse is just plain reckless. Either that system you saw was not designed for the radio you used or that system has problems...problems to the tune of they better get their money back. Subscriber radios simply do not have LSM issues that affect performance to any degree worth writing about.

Further, just because a radio is software defined, don't expect perfect, or even better LSM performance. RTL SDR dongles don't get me any better performance. It's the quality of the receiver.

Seeing his videos lead me to believe the radio will not be to the quality of a Motorola radio for LSM for a few reasons. The first two clips I saw were a mere few seconds in length. I've gotten scanners to sound acceptable for just a few seconds before. Additionally, none of the videos I viewed had scanners in motion. Literally everybody that struggles with LSM knows that there are sweet spots around the house. Having two radios next to each other proves nothing either because I've experienced 100% decode at one coordinate and 0% just one inch left or right.


It doesn't take a scientist to come up with these hypotheses, but my bachelors of science degree helped. I wish Uniden nothing but the best but I seriously doubt this will replace my APX6000xe. Oh, still doing those silly paid upgrades for DMR and intentionally not including GPS? Yeah, definitely not for me. I will still preorder one, though, for the Youtube views but I'll definitely resell it before the price drops significantly when the market realizes its true value.

Only 3 upgrades for 8 additional voice formats:
* DMR: MOTOTRBO Capacity+, Connect +, DMR Tier III, Hytera XPT, Single-Channel DMR (5)
* EDACS Provoice (1)
* NXDN 4800 and 9600 (2)

Any word or hint as to how much the upgrades will be?

Here is your link for that option:

Sadly it costs a bit more money and does not come with DMR of any type.

Congrats Uniden!
Thanks Paul and the Uniden engineering team for listening to your customers feedback and designing the SDS100 to RX simulcast systems and digital 10-2!

Why? if you place a hold, you can release it with one button (x36) or screen press (HomePatrol) already.

If it is sitting on a channel, possibly due to static or open squelch, or you just want it to keep scanning, you have to tap the offending screen twice. Just about every other scanner on the planet has an arrow or scan or something button to get it moving, or at least a VFO knob. If this works like the HP and you need to double tap the part of the screen to move it, that is a real deal breaker.
The lack of a scan/resume has always been the weak link of the HP series and has been mentioned here many times.

I'm interested in the SDR aspect and using it with something like SDR#. It says 'DC to Daylight.' What would be the frequency range when using with a computer and SDR software?

You're joking right?
