Uniden SDS100 & SDS200 Color Schemes

Yep no one more OCD than me LOL. Here's the same configuration on the 100. Oh that's better.View attachment 94575

That looks awesome! How do you get just the two lines "Bucks County, Zone 1" without seeing "ID Scanning?"

Actually I changed it right after the photo that you quoted. Both the 100 and 200 look like this now. I added more color... green and gold.

The reason it doesn't say ID scanning is it's actually an active talk group with the dispatcher talking. I waited till it was active before taking the picture.

I basically mimic the screen as close as I can get to my Motorola apx 7000. The Zone 8 is in the channel slot, Bucks County is in the Department's slot and I eliminated the system completely from the screen. I know what system it is LOL.

I also eliminate all of that extraneous information that I already know and don't need. I only put the very basic stuff on there so I have an uncluttered, easily read screen. The favorites list name is in the upper right. I could never handle the screen full of all that information so that you have to stare at it to find out what you're listening to LOL.

How do you get that layout and colors with Unitrunker? I tried it about a year ago, and it looked nothing like yours. I run SDRTrunk. Great reception but I am not a fan of the layout, waterfall, etc.

Unitrunker v2 has an updated interface. It is the version in active development.

I went with the old commodore 64 scheme.

Can I ask what setting you are using where it shows "Simulcast"?
Thanks.

I call this one neon lights. Easy to see, easy to distinguish what's what and I'm loving it. Just got this scanner last week and so far so good! Next is an antenna upgrade....View attachment 82952

Remind me how y'all are centering stuff easily...is it by telling it to in ProScan or something? I remember something about it but...

Uniden SDS100 & SDS200 Color Schemes

This may have been discussed previously, but how do you keep your colors when you update the database on sentinel? I updated my 100 & 200 and when I wrote to scanner all of my custom colors were gone. Not really a big deal since it's easy to change the colors back manually but it would be nice...

Set mine up over a couple of weeks. Once I get a 200, I plan on setting it similar!

 

[jake_Braker]

Probably to many colors but I like it anyway.
Did a lot of playing around and experimenting.View attachment 68756View attachment 68757

Now that is busy!

Not really. I've learned where all my info is so I'm not overwhelmed. So let's say I'm ID tracking, I just check the 3rd blue down. Checking for a radio ID while logging? First red underneath the channel name.
The only issue I've noticed I had with this color scheme is when I'm outside

 

[Bswartz95]

First go at customizing.

 

[Firefox10]

Not to flashy but it works for me. just notice my squelch was at 8. used to my 536 knobs.

well done, simple, yet effective

 

[Firefox10]

I think I've spent more time tinkering with the color options and field locations than I have programming my favorite lists! I've gone through a lot of trial and error because the colors on my computer screen don't quite look the same when they are applied to the scanner. I am really going for something that will look good in low light as well as bright sunlight.

Ultimately, I am tweaking a variation of the various shades of Sky Blue to look similar the to dash display of my vehicle. It's still a work in progress. Until my Explorer gets out of the shop (someone slid through a stop sign during a snow shower and hit it while my XYL was driving), I won't be satisfied on the colors.
