I believe the Flagship scanner he is referring to is the x36 line. Not the new model.

So some are whining about the cost and others want to add another $100 to the price tag?

9th bullet point down. The SDS-100 will have NXDN. How many times does it have to be repeated?

I'm pretty sure he is asking about NXDN for the existing users (i.e. x36, etc.).
Nope - it's doesn't.
What does it take to get a GPS added to a handheld location based scanner?
You want to see a real performance check ship me one to monitor the MARRS system in the KC area. That thing is a nightmare.
Should have done a release party at IWCE
Though Florida wouldn't be the best place I guess, The land of encryption. lol

LSM fix? OK, I'll take a bite.
IF it does really handle CQPSK much better than the other scanners, I'll buy one just for that reason alone. In my area, most P25 simulcast systems use CQPSK which my PSR-500 handles terribly, unless I'm within a mile of a tower. I also like that there's some water resistance. I can use it out in the rain or snow and not worry about the moisture too much. Sure it won't survive a drop in a pool, but hey, it's probably not a good idea to use it near such an environment anyway. I would probably wait a little while before I purchase any upgrades since MY main focus is P25...

I think that's the essence of the question though is that the SDS100 does do NXDN with a future upgrade. However, the linchpin for some of us on whether or not to buy the SDS100 is whether it will be the sole Uniden product that does NXDN.

Man wish I could test it on my county's hybrid harris vhf/700mhz system

Pay that guy in PA for an aftermarket upgrade -- just don't put it near any cold/heat sources...
LOL
Just for the record, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if the SDS100 had integrated GPS.
But thanks for tbe shout-out...
Been mulling over the purchase of a new handheld scanner ... this may be enough to do it. I am looking forward to the reviews!
I am looking forward to the reviews!Ahhh. I was looking at decoding formats.
I install internal GPS modules in the 436 and other models. But as troymail says, if you hang the scanner from the heater vent so hot air is blowing directly on the GPS module, it can overheat it and cause it to fail.
How well does it TRUNK DMR and NXDN?
Until someone rips one apart and truly assesses the performance, I'm not buying a word of what Uniden has to say about the SDS100. Been burnt way too many times to count and if past performance is anything, Uniden could screw up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Maybe and I'm saying maybe because anything is possible but maybe Uniden really did do their homework and actually put the time in to NOT cut corners. If that's the case, this might be the first Uniden since the BC780XLT that I didn't return almost immediately.

In many cases, better than my Uniden.... 100% better on NXDN.
I'm working with someone now who is trying to listen to a supposed CON+ system on his x36 and hearing nothing.... Works just fine on my Whistler. Of course, it is probably because someone submitted the "system" as CON+ but we're now seeing it is (or has changed to) straight DMR... The x36 can't hear anything - the Whistler can hear it just fine....
Hey Paul - Check typo in the first sentence!

Central Ohio Interoperable Radio System (COIRS) was the system in the video, which is not a simulcast system. I listen to this system on my G4 and it is a lot clearer. MARCS was briefly displayed, but the audio was definitely COIRS, a.e. 'DELCOM' (Delaware County Fire).
Send me one to beta test in Columbus' Simulcast Hell, and on my trips to Cincinnati and Dayton. I could even test it on my feed where everyone could hear it.
