I suspect so. For the SDS100, the 436HP/536HP, and the HomePatrol series (HP-1/HP-2) the largest size card that Uniden supports is 32gb, but I have seen comments from users that have cards up to 64gb, and are not having any issues. But unless you intend to record virtually full time, and not regularly clear the files from the scanner (or move them to your PC), an 8gb card will likely handle whatever you want without problems.

For those of you asking this question, I have a couple of scanners I don't touch for 2-3 weeks at a time that record on microSD and they barely push 2-2.5GB when I go to download them. Filling up 8GB would take a couple of months of unattended recording IMO.

So does that mean the US versions of the SOS100 & SOS200 uses the proper 25kHz steps for the VHF Aviation Service Search, and for the Military Air Service Search, uses 25kHz steps for the 138-144/148-150.8MHz portion and doesn't switch to FM/12.5kHz steps for the 380-400MHz segment of the 225-400MHz portion?

I'm not familiar with the SOS100 or SOS200 (perhaps as the King of All Monitoring you can tell me what they are) and I don't own an SDS100 or SDS200, but my 436 and 536s have functionality that lets me set custom modulation and steps for any portion of the receivable bands. According to pages 36 and 52/53 of the SDS200 manual, this feature is present in that radio as well.

Yep, but it'd be nice if the devices came with the well-known, proper info for the pre-programmed feature in-question, right? That was true back when the ##6s first came out, and is still true today, hence I asked the question that we're still waiting to have answered.

If I bought one, I'd have to add the $85 for DMR and $85 for NXDN. All county sheriffs around me and ours use either DMR or NXDN. That means I am going to have to pass for now.

This post was a while ago, but it is Uniden's last known thoughts on Bluetooth in wide-band receivers:

https://forums.radioreference.com/t...bile-use-with-a-bcd436hp.286128/#post-2150557

.
We put a lot of thought and experimentation into incorporating Bluetooth, actually. In addition to increasing the size and cost of the scanner, it would have introduced a very high level of RF noise into the scanner. That last reason is also why the Wi-Fi dongle on the 536 is a dongle, and not integrated. In general, transmitters in close proximity to wide-band receivers are a poor combination.

It's $60 each for DMR & NXDN, not $85, when purchasing direct from Uniden. I presume you are seeing the $85 cost on one of the sites where the scanner can be ordered.The extra $25 for each key is their convenience charge for purchasing the key for you, & then entering the unlock key code. You can easily do all that yourself, and save the extra cost.

Paul (Upman) will you be releasing the RH software used by the beta testers to the general public for the new

Does that mean its over 12" wide in the front panel??….300mm????

A few pages back Marshall was kind enough to show the measurement with a tape measure. It’s as wide as the current scanners out.
