Guys, sorry for offtop. I was read all threads with SDS100 but can`t understand where can i pre-order this scanner. Offical market or something like this.
If this store will support pay with paypal it was exellent.

Check your email I just sent you.
Not available yet. Has not received FCC approval. I would be cautious about pre-ordering until it does, though there isn't much reason to think it won't get it easily.
That's referring to the three button at the top whose function is dynamic based on the items at the bottom of the display. During scanning, those are the "SYSTEM", "DEPT", "CHANNEL" buttons, but they change to arrows when entering text.
From the OM:
"The function of these keys changes depending on the current mode."
Soft keys isn't referring to the construction of the buttons that everyone's noted in recent videos.
He is pointing out that Intelligent is misspelled. 
JINX!
JINX!
Do I get a prize for spotting the typo?
Yeap, a free SDS-100!
Edit: I'm sure UpMan wont mind?!?
Wow. I completely read past the misspelling. My bad for misunderstanding what you were referring to.

He'll give you a free TRX1! (Can you even give these things away?)
How about a free extended capacity SDS100 battery?
(SDS100 not included. Not available until August. While supplies last.)

So, the Ham Station is still in business and still located at the same brick and mortar store in Evansville? I'm going to be in Evansville next Monday and Tuesday on business. It would be great to be able to drop by and pick up a SDS100! Though I'm probably too optimistic!
Bearcat Warehouse now lists the scanner as available

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes.
I'm a more or less happy Unication G5 owner and looking at the SDS-100 just to gain more "Scanner like" features. Reception-wise, the G5 works almost flawlessly on my Phase I/II LSM where the HomePatrol-II, while having more "scanner like features", failed miserably.
I'm still looking for a side by side video comparison of the G5 vs SDS-100 on a LSM network (nobody has posted one it seems).
While I think it's great Uniden is finally doing something about LSM, as a G5 owner, here are 2 things that are almost deal breakers for me about the SDS-100.
1) The form factor of the SDS-100 is huge compared to the G5. I can toss the G5 in my jeans or cargo shorts pocket no problem as the body of the G5 is small and G5's little stubby antenna length are not a problem. The SDS-100's anteanna is comparably gigantic and there's no way it would fit in a pocket and would look weird mounted on a car dash. Question - is there a technical reason the SDS-100 antenna needs to be so long??
2) I hate the font used on the SDS-100's display. This might be weird but it just makes me shrivel my nose to read. Unication has a nice pleasing Arial-type font (although admittedly, much less info being displayed on the screen).
3) Is a full number keypad really needed? I'm totally fine with needing to plug my G5 into a PC to change setttings and I bet eliminating the keypad would make the form factor nicer.
