I’m new to scanners and this is my post so take it easy please. Read a lot of reviews and got suggestions from people another group about to buy and bought the SDS100. I’m in MS. Sharkey county. Was most of our agencies use the P25 Phase 2 ( I believe that’s what it’s called)? Anyway, knew scanner came today and the place I ordered it from naturally agreed to an extra $45 to update the firmware and set it to my county for! Lesson learned there.
Anyway, I turned it own it was set to a simple screen and changed to a detailed screen. That’s The only changes I’ve made. Intentionally anyway!
it seems to be scanning fine and I do hear occasional chatter. Very occasional I might add. my first thing I’m confussed about is when I plug it in to charge while it’s on, it will scan for a few minutes and then the screen freezes or locks up. It will stay locked up for random amounts of time ie...6 minutes or maybe 10 minutes or even 15 minutes. What’s on the display while locked may change from time to time also. No set amount of time and then it will start to scan for a few minutes and then lock or freeze again. There is no chatter going on while this is happening. Is this normal or do I have a setting wrong or what?
i just wanted simple. Turn on, adjust volume and squelch and done! But i see now that’s not going to be the case. Any and all help, tips and or advise will be greatly appreciate!
