SDS100/SDS200: Since the firmware update (latest)

[Peerlessk]

Some of the stuff I like to monitor on a LTR system since the update has been none exsistant . The talkgroup was busy listenable all day until I updated the firmware both sds100 and sds200 .

https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?ctid=1859

LTR standard- Liccardi radio service - the sds100 and sds200 is not monitoring the system . Why? Licciari radio service said there towers are up and running with ZERO issues . Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks

These filters sure are throwing everyone for a loop!

It seems so

It appears they do help with VHF/UHF but anything 800MHz trunked get degraded. Global should be default to OFF. If needed it can be turned on for certain systems.

Upgrade question, is it possible to upgrade by connecting to a Mac an copy the firmware files to a memory card

As far as I know, no. If you could, we could not recommend trying.

Thanks everyone, i was able to connect the sds 100 to the Mac, and then copy the firmware files to the SDS 100 file system. Once I unplugged it it updated the firmware. I was able to do this for the main and the sub..

Maybe this is not the best option, but wanted to avoid biulding a WIndows VM or boot camp windows 10.

If anyone is interested , and I wil document the high level steps.

Anyone reporting an issue with GPS not working after update???? Mine has stopped working. GPS puck is blinking red (LED) as usual....no settings changed. Went into Location menu....everything is good including baud rate of 4800. Just not working for some reason. Cable issue maybe? Cable connection issue plagued the Home Patrol I and II. Any ideas????

Is this the factory GPS or home made GPS.

Factory GPS.....Uniden's new one made specifically for the SDS-100. The puck is slow blinking red.....so it has power and a signal. Cables are all connected. But no GPS signal going into the scanner. It's worked ever since I've had the SDS100 and GPS great. I'm running the scanner in a cupholder in my car....so I'm wondering if the constant jostling around between the scanner and the power/gps cable has caused a connection internal to the scanner to come loose??? That's my thought. I'm thinking of opening up the scanner and taking a magnified look at the connection area to see what's what.

Set the baud rate to 9600 if you are using the Uniden CB-GPSK.

I don't believe that GPS works on the SDS 100

Baud rate change had no effect. I have the GPS adapter specifically for the SDS100....the latest and greatest. Baud rate back to 4800

Rob, I would like to see the steps but you can PM them to me rather than post to this thread, your choice. I’m running a MacBook Air.

Thanks,

Nick

Uniden did not make a new GPS for the SDS 100, it uses the old Uniden puck with a new adapter cable. The so called new Uniden GPS is for the SDS200. It has a connection like a phone cord. This is the puck for the 100 and the SDS 100 showing GPS....

I'm having the same issue with the same hardware. Puck light is blinking but I can't get "GPS" to show up in the display. Were you able to sort it out and get it working?

 

[buddrousa]

What GPS do you have and did you check the GPS baud rate in the scanner?
