It’s truly shocking on airband. Popping, clicking and terrible bleed over from adjacent channels on every transmission regardless of which filter I use. SDS100 is the same. It was unusable on airband.

I haven't owned one of these since about three versions ago, at least 10 years. Is the case of these things still as poorly constructed as they were back then? Also, have they made water and dust resistant in any way? Back when I had mine they didn't even have a plug to keep water out of the earphone jack. For 600+ dollars that's inexcusable.

@bradskis81 3 жыл бұрын

Have your read into these things at all? Even a cursory browse of Uniden’s website about them will tell you all you want to know. Scanners have drastically changed in the past few years. They’re significantly more complex and functional.

I've seen quite a few reviews from people who bought this radio and indicated that the radio basically crapped out after a very short time (too short for how much it costs). Are these reviews accurate? I'm not going to pay $650 for a radio that is going to die after a few months.

Hello, my area here in Michigan is currently switching over to P25. My question is if you know is there going to be away to listen to my area if they end up encrypting it so we can't here our local police or surrounding police and fire departments. Just trying to figure out if it is going to be worth buying a SDS 100 or 200 or both. My area is finally switching to P25 from Opensky which is not scannable by any scanner.

@Bearcatwarehouse 2 жыл бұрын

@Bobby Smela I assume you're referencing Oakland County MI? once the transfer happens if they are unencrypted an SDS100 or 200 will receive public safety there.

@bobbysmela3942 2 жыл бұрын

@@Bearcatwarehouse I got an email yesterday from a councilman and my Chief of Police, that they are in deed in the process of switching over to P25 from Opensky as we speak. They both said the process should be completed by the 3rd or 4th quarter. Even when Oakland County Michigan was using Opensky, I was still getting my local Fire Department and surrounding fire departments just not police. Now that Oakland County Michigan and the Novi/South Lyon area is in the process of switching to P25, I'm just trying to figure out if it will be worth investing in a SDS 100 or 200, or another scanner capable of listening to p25. I would really appreciate your thoughts on this before I make a move on what to do next. Thanks for your time.
