Then maybe they should perform more extensive field testing on their products before release.
Why should the general public be beta testers for an inferior product? So the company doesn't have to pay for it?
Windows 3.1Or one software product that has never needed to be updated.
Windows 3.1
The whole point is this scanner was rushed into production with a limited pool of beta testers such as yourself who refuse speak critically about anything relating to a possible fault.
You have posted on almost every SDS100 thread on this forum in the last month and blamed the end-user or told them to wait for a fix.
Bottom line is, this isn't a beta product. It is a $700 top-of-the-line embarrassment for Uniden that still can't do what the previous model could do. Your end users aren't beta testers; these issues should have been addressed before the product shipped.
The battery issue is a perfect example. Perhaps if the beta testers were someone with a clue and not some Uniden fanboy who refuse to be critical of a Uniden product, they wouldn't have shipped a scanner with an abysmal 6 hour battery life.
Actually, Uniden did pretty extensive beta testing before the scanner was released.
Because it is not possible for a small number of beta testers to test for every possible condition that will be encountered by every customer. Uniden is actually significantly better than most tech companies about taking bug reports and fixing them.
Name one tech product that was still on firmware v1.0.0 a year after release because 1.0.0 was perfect. Or one software product that has never needed to be updated.
The battery issue will be rectified for early adopters we knew this going in. And all the links work fine here.The battery issue further enforces my stance that the SDS100 was rushed into service. Your argument to the end users being beta testers is over the price of the scanner?
BTW, none of your links work.

None of these links work for me... the URLs appear to have been shortened using ellipses, possibly for viewing purposes. They all show "Page not found".
