There are several aftermarket antennas out there for the Uniden sds-100, today we'll talk about the 2022 REMTronix antenna options, specifically fitment. *Note the older 810S and 842S may NOT fit the SDS100, your mileage may vary.

Any performance comparison for the 843/842 compared to the stock antenna? I'm finding the 842s to be actually worse than the uniden stock antenna
@morejelloplease2 жыл бұрын
I don't own the 842, but according to remtronix, the 843 has the same guts as the 842 but with the added flex-angle connector available in both sma and bnc connectors. my plan was to test these antennas in a separate future video using a nano VNA to show the smith chart or at least the SWR plot in the designed frequency range. even tho these are scanner/receive antennas, the swr plot will show which frequency the antenna has the best resonance i.e. where it will hear the best. Some preliminary testing without the VNA shows mixed results between the 810/820 vs the 842/843. I'll post a video soon with or without the VNA by simply choosing a VHF, UHF, and 700/800/900MHz control channel and comparing the dBm between the two antennas, and also the stock antenna.

It's great that the antenna is water resistant, but if the side connector cover gets damaged, there is no replacement available.

You mean the side rubber grommet that covers the USB Ports?

Uniden used to have a flat Rate fee of $90 dollars to repair the sds100. they won't sell individual parts.

no, the sds100 uses an SMA connector, you have a BNC. make sure you select the proper antenna for whatever frequency you are trying to listen to.

I bought this and compared with all my other antennas...this one performed terrible. DOnt buy. Best for me on both VHF UHF was long antenna from Diamond. Back to the drawing board Remtronix
@morejelloplease2 жыл бұрын
Which one? The diamond rh77ca is a 1/4 wave on vhf and not much will out perform that antenna, only problem is it's not really practical it almost 18 in long, And can stress your BNC or SMA connector. Believe it or not the 800 MHz version of the remtronicx antenna receives really well on vhf but if you actually have a transceiver and need to transmit on vhf then you obviously cannot use that antenna as you will damage your radio.

What band did you test it on. I have both the diamond and the 820s. Haven't tried the 843S. The 820S is meant for 800mhz the diamond is all around but it's huge. I want to see a dB showdown between the diamond the 820s and the 843s. On 800 and vhf. I'll search ypur videos and see if you did that test. The 820s wins for me on the 800 when I tried it.

The best performance for me was a stoopid ant folded up one off amazon at $20 made to look like a folded over low-band Army radio antenna. Cheesy. Also good, yes was the diamond rh77ca..

Some people do care if it SEALS or not because the radio is weather resistant and if you compromise the seal and get water in there and it shits the bed then you're SOL.

I see his point though, if you're in terrible weather and wind and rain and and sharks and sand and tornados! flee!! flee!! Don't take my 800 dollar damn radio into that area. There's plenty of other "holes" on the scanner too. Just take the o-ring off the other antenna as solution? Not sure if that would work lol. President Camacho for president!
