How did you get Noise to appear?
Uniden SDS100 & SDS200 Color Schemes
- Thread starter N5XTC
- Start date
It is in the Option Item menu. Not all things are available for all areas of the display. For example, the very bottom rectangles just above the soft key icons have a very limited menu of items you can select.
Thanks! That was very easy but overlooked.
Those are good colors. Put some love beads in front of it, a black light, and call it "The 60's"
My pleasure. Like most of the people here, I am always happy to help and I myself have received much help here.
Here is mine. Radio is about 3 months old. SDS-100. Must have tweaked it 100 times lol.
Yeah that one is painful!

BTW, there is a brief thread on this very subject from January: SDS200 - Display Color Schemes
Before I began to even think about which color scheme was going to work for me, I decided to look around, on the Big Screen! Yeah, the major television stations/corporations pay millions of dollars to graphic designers to draw up something---anything---that will catch the viewers attention. One day, I was channel surfing and my eyes were caught by a bottom screen "crawl" on Fox News.
The text was white and the background was a bright, lemon-and-lime green. I have replicated that [to some extent] on my SDS200 and it is pleasing to the eye, and not glaring at all. My radio is kept in the garage where the radio is illuminated by a 40 watt desk lamp(!)
My display remains a work-in-progress, but it's getting very close to where I want it. May try the white on green combo at some point soon. Will post another photo then.

iMONITOR - look at the photo. The volume on the radio is set to "18". That's LOUD.
No kidding! I never had mine over 8. Actually he must have turned it down a little, looks like 15.

I like it, but discovered you had to get rid of the Favorites List and System/Site List text to clear the black dividing lines
. I like having those items but don't like the lines.

Volume 18? Holy crap I thought I was deaf!
Guys, if you look at the display it is only at #15(!)
I have my scanner in the garage [that's where the LMR comes into the garage from the antenna] and have a 20" oscillating fan to my left and a 1,600 cu. ft. attic fan above the garage door. The garage gets very hot in the summer and it's great for sucking out sawdust when I use my woodworking machines. To compensate for the fans, I have a small, 20 watt amp that boost the received signals volume, so that when I am listening in the garage, I can hear the scanner perfectly.
All in all, it's an ideal situation

I like it Jim! Coming along nice. I updated my tag locations a little and added a couple since the last time:

Inside the Galaxy
Are you finished with that screen configuration? I want to see how it looks on my 100. I have issues making the screen nice because I have no imagination and it’s only worse because I use my scanner during the sun light and looking at it is hard to see sometimes. I almost thought of an all yellow config
