I have just purchased the sds200 and noticed at the end of my police transmissions I get a burst of static for a few seconds and wonder if it is just because the station is just miles away, it is LTR, also when I turn on the unit squelch starts at 19 but I cannot adjust it lower until the unit warms up for about 30 minutes, has anyone had the problem of not being able to adjust squelch for 30min.
SDS100/SDS200: SDS200 static at end of LTR transmission
- Thread starter quade1952
- Start date
No. I never touch my squelch.
This is a new one....
If indeed this isn't some 'operator error' somewhere, get it replaced, it is defective.
Look in profile/Miscellaneous. What does it say there?
Remember, it 'remembers' what squelch (etc.) is set at when you turn it off (properly) and it writes settings, etc. to the SD card.
Can you provide a link to the LTR system you re trying to monitor?
It seems to start at 19 but now i noticed it will slowly go back to my previous setting once i turn it back on, but the squelch works fine because I did test it on weather channels and on the cb channels as well, if anything new happens I will add to this post, but as of today it seems to go back to setting 4 after about 10 or 15 minutes.
The system is LTR in Newington for PD, but it will happen at times on the MED channels, it is probably because it is not digital, the digital channels come in real nice, seems to be at end of transmissions more so for the Newington PD, on my 15x and the 436 I have not noticed it there at all, but then again the 15x is not digital, but the 436 is but not software driven, so probably due to sensitivity of the sds200, just my opinion but figured there may be a way to silence that a bit.
Have you Ben able to compare notes with other SDS200 owners in or near Newington? I assume it is Newington, Ct. (Hartford County) you are talking about? I am in Farmington and haven’t noticed any issues so your delema may be location specific. But I do on occasion visit my daughter who lives on the New Britain/Newungton town line and will let you know if I hear what you hear. My guess is you are close to something that is interfering with your monitoring. Check and make sure you have the frequencies PL’ed.
The FD Chief has mentioned the entire town (at least PD & FD) will be going to CLMRN… possibly by the end of the year. Currently, the FD has their dispatch TG up and running on CLMRN.

Out of curiosity, did you look at your profile - and what did it show for squelch?
BTW, most everybody recommends and had their squelch be at 2...
The SDS200 has a hard squelch and volume control not a software control, the profile will not change these settings.
The squelch should adjust at any time and not need to "warm up", if you move it while the radio is off it will reflect this change when you turn it on.

So here is what happens when i turn it on, so say i set it to 2 the following day, turn it off for the night then turn it on next day, the squelch will be at 19, then after about 15 min or so it will slowly move back down to the previous setting of 2 that I set the previous day, so software must play a part in this and if not then how does it slowly move back down to 2 after about 15 min. I tested the squelch to make sure it is working and it is, it just takes a bit longer to set it, but once set it works just fine.
You may want to take a look at this thread. Someone reported a similar issue with the squelch on a BCD996P2. It is not quite the same, but has some striking similarities.
Uniden BCD996P2 manual squelch issue ?
I’ve spoke with Bob from ProScan via email, and he suggested I post this in the Uniden forum. I am having a very odd issue with my BCD996P2. I have the DRM and NXDN updates installed. I am running the latest firmware version 1.08.01. When I load a conventional frequency, and choose “digital...
To me, it sounds like a repair issue.
@walsabrook : Were you able to resolve your squelch issue on your 996p2?
I believe the squelch is actually an encoder not a pot and is not adjustable in the profile but is electronically controlled.
Strange problem, if you find the solution, please post it here so we all can learn.
