Uniden SDS100 display options and how to video. In this video I give you an up close look at the SDS100 display in both color and black and white. I walk you through how to customize the SDS100 display and what the options you have when customizing. This is the most customization available on any scanner. The Uniden SDS100 has so many display options it is almost unbelievable. I love the contrast on the display. The characters on the display are crisp and easy to read. You can use detail or simple mode on the display. The display has a dimmer as well. There are multiple options available on the SDS100. Check out the video for a full walk through.

Great tip! I basically did what you said and what a change! However, that leads me to a few more questions. I understand that I can also edit using the Sentinal sodtware. I do not want to lose what I just did following your instructions. So, am I corrrect in first connecting the SDS100 to my computer and READING the scanner program (saving it). Will I then be able to "tweak" the colors a little more using the editor in the software and then save that back to the scanner?

Hello Matt, thank you for taking the time to do this review, as well as a number of others too. I know a lot of time has gone by since the initial release of the SDS100 (now there's the SDS200 also), so I was wondering if you have the display resolutions for the two units by chance - as in, for example, 380 x 240, or whatever the real numbers are. I've looked in the user manuals but not been able to find this out. Thank you in advance :-)!!!

Kudos on that video Matt, well done. That color display is out of this world, i was sold from the get go. My issue with the color display customization is that for some of us who like to customize everything , there will come a day were we have gone too far and wish we could reset the scanner display to factory default, but as far as i can tell there is no color display default settings. Surprises me that Uniden went out of their way with endless customizing and didn't include default. Matt, What are your thoughts on this predicament? The only option i can think of is the dreaded "Delete all user data", but that's a bit harsh, considering that setting will erase Everything in your scanner, including all your lists and such..

@monitoringreviews 4 жыл бұрын

You can reset User Settings and that will keep your data. But I agree, one that only reset the display settings would be a great addition.

There’s not a mobile version of the SDS100. But I do prefer handhelds over base/mobiles because they are so portable. But I like having a base/mobile scanner too because you don’t have to worry about batteries. So it depends on your use case I guess.

I got the 436hp and eats batteries like crazy takes 3 AA's and unable to charge while listening so hope Uniden fixed that on this Newer model? and on the 436hp no option to take off Military time not real fond of that either. I do like the color mode option on the SDS100 as soon as I can talk myself into dropping $649 for it.

No one knows how long it will continue to work. That depends on the agencies you are monitoring and if/when they change system types. I would check the radio reference forums for your local area and ask what scanner works best for that area and how long they anticipate the radio to work on those systems.
