I have my SDS100 setup on ProScan webserver. Just about everything is working correct except...... when I select menu on the vc, say to change lists or something similar. I can scroll the menu options but cannot figure out how to select an option when it is highlighted. Any ideas?

You need to be logged in to be able to control the scanner remotely. Then just click the "E" key as it shows on the web server or double-click the silver knob

Thank You Whiskey3JMC!! I just tried both your options and they worked. I am a rookie at this scanner business , but love the hobby. I have learned so much from this sight and Great guys like yourself. Thanks for taking the time to help us newbies.

@Bottlecapr and you are in Indy where PepsiCo has a big bottling facility ... wonder if these two are mere coincidences?

 

[Bottlecapr]

Not sure I understand your reply. I am Bottlecapr...Had that name since middle 70's when I had a CB Radio. That was my handle 😊 I worked for CocaCola in Speedway.

Whiskey3JMC when I am using my physical SDS100. It locks on a frequency that I want to pass for the time being. I would just turn my knob.
how do I do that on my web server?

Press the Avoid key once to temporarily avoid it, the avoid remains in effect as long as the FL is active. Pressing it twice permanently avoids it

I guess what I mean is what do you do to imitate turning the knob.

Click knob once to select it, then use your mouse to move it in the direction of your choosing (use mouse wheel if your mouse has one to move up or down). You can also click the scroll arrows beneath the virtual radio (not shown on screenshot) to scroll up or down

Thanks again. I’m learning😏. Now what is a good all around antenna for my sds100. I have the rem810s, love it ....but I’m wanting to listen for some broadcasts on lower frequencies besides 800.

I highly recommend the Comet SMA-W100RX. Works great on my SDS100

Will I need an adapter or would this fit my sds100

 

[Whiskey3JMC]

No, SMA is the native connector for the SDS100

 

[Bottlecapr]

No, SMA is the native connector for the SDS100

and it will fit fine with no adjustments?

 

[Whiskey3JMC]

Correct

 

[Bottlecapr]

Ok...Great! I have read that it breaks easily. I have the REM 820s now. It does a great job for my area as most is 800-900. I would like something to occasionally hear like air traffic and airport activity which a major airport is approximately 8-10 my from my house as the crow flies. Do you think this would work. (sorry for all the questions😊)

 

[Whiskey3JMC]

No worries. Mine works fine on the air bands. Thing is you usually won't be able to hear tower to aircraft from ground level unless you're within a shorter distance of the air field

Whiskey3JMC, I ordered, as you suggested , new Comet SMA-W100RX . It came in today😏I have just installed it and what I don’t think I like about it ....on my SDS100 anyway, It only screws on approximately 1 1/2 turns before it is tight. I know my REM20S threads on 7-10 turns. Is this normal?

 

[Whiskey3JMC]

Does it affect reception at all? The bases might be threaded differently
