Hi tinocup,
I see that you are from my area. I have the BCD536HP, the base/mobile version of the BCD436HP handheld scanner. In my area, I have some simulcast distortion but not to any great extent. So the question is as others have mentioned, are you experiencing simulcast distortion at your location or locations that you may frequent? Aside from a pretty cool display on the new SDS100, there are not any other specs that would "compel" me to purchase the SDS100. That said, once the SDS100's "brother" is available in a base/mobile version, I will revisit the scanner and may get it so that I have two scanners. Decisions, decisions, decisions... LOL! :lol:
I also wanted to say: Welcome to Radio Reference!
Cheers! Dave
