I will try and get some. I'm recovering from two recent spine surgeries so I'm not as mobile as I used to be!!
Uniden Remote Head Project
- Thread starter MA-radio-guy
- Start date
Scanner Master has been working diligently on development of the RH-200, a remote control and display unit for many Uniden scanners over the last 2 years. While several working prototypes have successfully been built, it has been found that production of retail units would be cost-prohibitive for both the company and the consumer.
We regret that we are unable to bring this project to market at this time and remain committed to bringing the scanner community the products and support that Scanner Master has been famous for. Should circumstances allow the RH-200 to be produced for retail we will of course announce it here.
We appreciate the support and encouragement of the scanner community during the development of this project.
Sincerely,
The Scanner Master RH-200 Development Team:

A little gutted about that, given it was going to be a nice small unit that wouldn't look like a tablet sitting out in the open in a vehicle. Understandable though, and all of the negative comments before it even came out definitely wouldn't have helped the cause. Hopefully one day - it's frustrating that DIN/Double-DIN pockets aren't a thing anymore.

Now im definitely interested since the RH200 is not going to be produced.
Did you not see the announcement by Scanner Master that they have stopped work on development of this?
I did. On another thread.
I don't believe that announcement means the death of the RH200, perhaps only the American made (read: Tariffed) version is dead.
As a die hard scanner hobbyist, I really want to believe what @cmaness2001 expresses on this matter, but the reality of what @garys states is irrefutable... I doubt that the entire EU could possibly come close to the US market for scanners.
And on a personal note, I question Scanner Master's thinking on this. I remember that some of us bought their "BC296D Remote Head" (prior to the RH-96) custom product back in the early 2006/2007 time frame (and still using it everyday). That was over $1000 back then--which is probably closer to $2000 in today's money. Perhaps if they had polled the community they might have been surprised at what people would pay for this much-anticipated product.

Agreed - I was/am prepared to pay top-dollar for the SDS200 RH.
I don't think that the market is there for the control head. Especially if the SDS100/200 can be made to work with U/Aware then the is not much market for it.

Has there been talks about the SDS100/200 being brought to the U/Aware app? Not sure how it would be possible since they both dont have bluetooth
This should probably be pinned to the top
The announcement of the SDS250 is likely on the horizon. Therein may be the solution for those who want a remote.
