SDS100 Prerelease Discussion

[WX4JCW]

Nashville is notorious especially in the inner area of the Briley, ran my G4 alongside and the 536 was dropping transmissions left and right, G4 catching 100% 536 - 40%

also if what UPman says is true the range of the Davidson Simulcast site will probably extend significantly

im in California then bouncing around again but ill try to do a video


Thanks UPMAN

What is the diameter of the antenna?

How thick is the plastic case?

Are the battery contacts gold or copper?

What is the size of the type on the battery pack?

Is the serial number on the inside or outside?

Are the buttons neoprene or silicone rubber?

Give me some more time and I can come up with some more questions for UPMan that only 2 people in the whole world care about and don't really make a difference anyway.

I'll be there at the end of June. I'll check it out.

That will be the end of the 2nd quarter. Sounds like it’s going to be close just to make the 2nd quarter 2018 estimate.

Ok well , if your going to tour the country & make vids of it on the tough systems ,...I want to see it receive Detroit on the MPSCS from Windsor Ontario Canada where I am ,.....With my 396T I can get a perfect strong control channel signal ,...but can only decode maybe a word or two from any transmission on that simulcast system

Does the case taste like snozzberries? Does it do sideband on 11 meters? How nice do roger beeps sound on the speaker?

The man just survived cancer and you want him to go to Detroit and put his life at risk??? 🤔

I'll be there at the end of June. I'll check it out. But, on similarly challenging systems (indy, louisville, mesa, etc) seeing incredible improvements.

Do you have any plans to come West young man?

 

[bmdoss]

I hope after the release UPMan takes a well deserved vacation..

So will Gommert (Butel) be able to develop software to be able to program this scanner with? I always like his software.

I'm not going to pretend to speak on behalf of Gommert (Butel) or Bob (ProScan), but my guess is that since Paul has said he is using the x36HP version of Sentinel to program the SDS100, I suspect that the third parties will be able to provide either a new program, or a modification to an existing one.

Is it fully SDR or a conventional superhet with digitized I.F like how Motorola used their "Abacus" ASIC in the Astro series?

Gommert added the ARC536 software link today.
It's listed on the bottom of the wiki.

Thanks

I suspect that Bob at ProScan will be in the game as well, once the scanner is released.

That's correct.
