I have just BEGUN messing with the colors on my new SDS200 and figured there need be a forum about this.
This discussion requires SERIOUS deliberation and could get heated.Go easy on each other. Please be polite and professional and remember we are all in the same hobby, using the same scanners.
What are your color schemes for the SDS100 or SDS200? I know mine needs work. I have spent a few hours already. More to come. many, many more...

ok youngstown area. cool. love the ohio MARCS system when i am there. as a kid, it was analog.
My setup. I tried to keep as much contrast between each line but still keep it readable.

i think you made a typo. you mean you can spend DAYS messing with the colors. LOL. in case there are ops who do not own one of these scanners looking a this forum, you can change colors on each of the diff scan modes AND whether you have the screen in basic or detailed in those scan modes to diff color schemes (that means literally everything on the screen can be set to whatever color you like, including the lines). hope i explained this right at 5am. maybe the correct word is YEARS, DECADES or LIFETIMES.

Its like women picking shoes to go with their outfit...
real simple but sort of takes the color benefit away.
u had what the factory came up with when you took it out of the box. it had many colors. to each his own. that is the beauty of this scanner, we can set it however we like. this is truly the make scanning great again scanner.
Exactly.
My screen set-up is all about readability at a glance. To make the text larger, I have converted all of my Favorite Lists' fields to ALL CAPS. I've been using lighter colors on a black background. The channel name is the most important thing I want to see at a glance when I hear a transmission, so that field gets the lightest color of the palette I'm using.
Oh, and I'm using simple display mode. If I have the scanner in the house and I'm tracking down some freqs or talk groups, I might switch to detailed display mode.
