I have a question about the portables that I hope isn't too stupid, but may be relevant for a device with a color, touch screen. Does the screen timeout, or is it on all the time?

If they follow the trend, the backlight will be monochrome with a color LED display.
And he has given some logically sound reasons for doing so.
Or any continuously broadcast control channel. If you have a control channel programmed as a conventional freq, that's a programming error you need to fix. Auto-skip just sweeps that error under the rug.
Automatically skipping control channels during a search kind of defeats the purpose of a search when you're trying to discover and program a trunked system. If you're manually logging control channels, having the scanner pause until you finish noting the pertinent details is a feature, not a bug. If you're using software like ProScan, the software can automatically log the details and resume the search/scan.
Then why don't you go crap on the Whistler and AOR forums?

The SDS100 does not have a touch screen.
But on devices that do, such as smartphones, the touch sensor is generally deactivated when the display turns off.
And the solutions that do exist work fine. It's just not his preferred solution.
-delay, turn the scroll knob, or AVOID that frequency.
There is also the solution of using the Service Search HPE files and setting that channel to ANALOG ONLY. They also provide all the other FL features.
Again - lots of alternatives.
But, he seems tunnel-visioned on one solution he came up with. OR he just wants to complain and found an obscure issue to fly his flag on.

Why change something that just works? If you want to find control channels, the way they have it setup is the best way.
I have a color display on my Kenwood 74A and it does excellent on batteries , if you set them to turn on during traffic with 10 second delay with resume , they work fabulous so far Kenwood,Yaesu and Uniden have gone to the color readable display,well Icom is still racing to the bottom with worse displays, granted the Yaesu color is a mobile so power isnt limiting, I think it's a brave new world for Uniden and the fact that you can select what information and where is awesome ,couple that with SDR and Uniden has new radio to be the flagship and worthy of the title ! With any new technology there will be growing pains,I was a beta tester on the Kenwood and there where early issues that needed to be sorted ,and they did the work and its a beautifull rig, so have a little patience folks ,i have never bought a radio that was perfect for me , but i still keep on trying , scanning isnt what it used to be so having Uniden offer up something like this is pretty awesome, and ultimately if you think you can do better build it get authorization to sell it and watch people tear it to shreds ,because it's not perfect ! So maybe less complaining about something we font even have yet and a little more thanking God that Uniden Whistler are still making stuff for a shrinking market .

The color screen is not color because of colored LEDs...just like your phone, TV, or any other devices, are not color because of colored LEDs...it's a color LCD screen just like other devices.
Maybe he posted that it was due to color LEDs as an April Fool's Day joke...hopefully.

Do you know what an OLED display is?

Nice, Happy Easter to you as well.
Oh boy. This thread has gone off the rails!
Yeah, about a thousand posts ago.

My main purpose of going Live was to get as many eyes & ears as I could for feedback.
I was able to report 3 additional bugs to UJE and will be waiting for updated firmware. I may then, go Live again with some suggestions and comparisons from that feedback.
Keep your eyes peeled here or on my YouTube Channel at: https://www.youtube.com/user/jasonhouk

Yep! I assume you also know what a regular color LCD screen is and how it operates.
EDIT: I shouldn't have implied "all" other devices earlier as OLED screens do exist but I was speaking of backlit LCDs which were (and probably still are, though the transition is happening) most popular.

Sounds like you live in a "sweet spot." What part of AA County do you live? It's possible that you are only receiving one Baltimore City tower site, or it is significantly stronger than others. But Baltimore City is definitely P25P1 LSM. I also live in AA County, but far enough south in Annapolis that I cannot receive Baltimore City or Baltimore County (or BWI,) so it's really not an issue for me
Anyway, I am excited for this radio because AA County will be upgrading their radio system from a ~10 site Type II SmartZone system to a ~22 site P25P2 system over the next few years. They've already replaced their CAD and started to procure subscriber units, so it is coming - they're just slow rolling the construction phase. Montgomery County has also been slow rolling their $110M system upgrade with an insane number of sites, so I expect reception of both systems to be hellish using previous generation scanners.

Has a firm release date been announced in the last 62 pages? I'm going to The Bahamas and might be without internet for a while.
Consider yourself lucky! No, not for going to the Bahamas. Lucky for having no Internet, or access to this soul-sucking thread.
