For anyone brand new to this radio. Be VERY patient! A steep learning curve to tame this beast, but you get a PhD in scannerology at the end and some fun listening while staring into the psychedelic display.

: OUTSTANDING and educational video. 🐢 👍 🐢 😀

Is this the Higgins Report starring Bill Burr?

SDS should never be compared to the Whistler TRX-1 they don’t do simulcast worth a crap that’s why they are cheaper 🙄

Anything out that's around the same quality and features that this one delivers? Im interested in getting a new radio ,ive own one of the old school ones from late 90s early 2000's its a Uniden loved it got it at RadioShack back in the days. But thank you for the review, does it have Bluetooth? To hook-up to car stereo?

while it's the best it's already too old. I returned mine.

Can you plug it in and use wall power lol instead of constantly killing batteries when listening at home???

Thank you for the comprehensive review! I have been looking for a good EMS/police scanner. BTW, anyone ever tell you that you look a lot like Jeffrey Combs?

This scanner scan 800??

Great video I own 3 SDS AND SDS 200

I have a SDR Play RSP DX!

Hello. Unfortunately, you have centered fully, the problem may come from the knob: a few drops of water on the receiver were enough to make it slip continuously, lengthening enough the times of operations that require the use of the knob ... To try to open this 'coffin' I don't even think about it, let alone send it to assistance, that between shipping money, repair costs and above all waiting times, I would pass the desire to listen to radio ... Another thing that saddens me a little is that I just can't find the way to do the updates (free, on the improvements, that living in Italy, the DMR is already operational), it seems that it has become very problematic to find the Sentinel software on the Net, so reluctantly, I decided to keep it as it is ... In this, the difference with the AOR receivers is dramatic: with AOR the update is very simple and intuitive, and above all, for free, at least as far as concerns the model in my possession, the AOR DV-1. Having said that, otherwise, the receiver is portentous, it is true that it is taking me months to figure out how to program it, but now after a period of frustration, I'm learning practically day after day more and more: now I am creating new lists of Favorites, inserting many Services and many frequencies, and seeing it in operation now, it is in all respects similar to the videos that show this fantastic radio receiver, being received with the Database of United States ! Being a lover of recordings and archiving of recorded messages across all ranges, the built-in recording function was decisive for me, precisely for the AOR DV-1.

See if you can talk in full sentences. Your pauses within sentences are annoying and distracting. Your content is OK, but need to work on your sub-appropriate delivery.

Great scanner I own 2 an SDS 200

Factual & short

So how do you listen to encrypted channels?

Unfortunately I cannot listen to the fuzz as it’s digitally encrypted along with the local ambo’s

How do you keep the keypad light on

quick question when will the sds100 will drop for sale?

good review

Which one would be better, if you had to get 1 of them. The SDS 100 or 200? Wife told me to choose 1 but im not sure which one to get?

How was programming do I need to buy extra stuff? I'm fixing to buy one

Please update. I'm subscribed

Great video

how do I know what service is encrypted? I went to Radioreference and looked up my zip code. The local Shreveport LA PD is not listed. The FD and the SO are but not the SPD. I assume if it's not listed, I can't get it. 71108 Caddo Parish, that would be Caddo County to you. Cheers from the Bayou state.

then you havent looked at Motorola and others cost $4000 and up n down that range

Can this scanner listen to phone calls ?

Terrible radio
