So glad for the info!! Thank you so much!!

wow...sooo helpful...this helped soooo much...thank you!!!

Very informative, can't wait to receive mine between May 8th - 15th. Thanks

For anyone new to this scanner. Be very patient and willing to take on a learning curve. You will get there. Using zip code and GPS is just fine for traveling to unknown spots, but you'll eventually want to better organize into favorites ( known as banks on most other older scanners). If you want to turn favorites on and off quickly you'll need to program quick keys. Initially doing all this is a bit confusing, but it will all make sense. There's no virtual scanners to load up when traveling to different areas...you still have to use your computer to load what is known as a profile. IMHO it gets pretty bloated when using the sentinel software if you plan on programming and organizing for many different destinations. Using just gps or zip code does load you up with whatever you want, but it's huge and disorganized. For all the scanner anal retentive, be forewarned.

Good tutorial!

Good video. It’s a lot easier using the software. 👍.

Thanks Brother!

Just received this sds100 today off of Amazon. It works great right out of the box. My HP-2 was on and scanning while I was setting up the sds, then left ‘em both on. I found an interesting call so locked onto it and followed what happened to the kid who’s raft was capsized in a lake. Meanwhile the HP-2 just kept scanning for new calls. I immediately had an epiphany as soon as another call happened on the HP-2. With two similar scanners on at the same time I can now follow one call to completion without missing the other stuff going on out there. Having two scanners is a must. It just took me 45 years to figure that out.

I bought one from you. It arrives tomorrow. 8-)

Can you please create a tutorial on how to search explore DMR frequencies. Would love to see something for us rookies on how to see what is out there. I made a recent purchase a couple of days ago from your website and want to have a bit of knowledge in that category when it shows up :)

Imma keep it a buck with you g, this product warn you if police are near

Cool

I had the clasp on the battery compartment break, I have fixed it using three cable ties, two wrapped around the radio and the third on the back pulling the other two together to stop them sliding off

Hello....can this scanner be powered just with an AC adapter, instead of having a battery installed? Would it be simply plugged into the USB port? I like the ability to be mobile with this, but when it's just sitting on my desk, I might as well just plug it in and not mess with the battery when I don't need it. Thank you!

Can this be used to listen to Amtrak while taking a train trip? Would I have to have Amtrak frequencies programmed on this scanner, or would it just be able to pic them up on the fly?

So this can pick up the digital or analog like state troopers use?

Do I NEED the external GPS unit in order to end able the “locate me” on the unit? Or does the antenna allow this operation. I will be driving cross country and would like it to change locations as I drive. Thanks.

The battery is smaller than what I anticipated, how long does it last from a full charge?

When you charge while on mine stops charging after several minutes. I have to unplug a few minutes and then plug back in and it charges again

I've pre-ordered one of these. I had a BCD436HP. I returned it because it isn't simulcast-friendly. I'm in Chattanooga, TN. When I entered my zip code, not only did it load the databases for Tennessee and Georgia, but also for Kentucky and Alabama! That's ridiculous! There's no way I can hear anything in Kentucky and Alabama! Is there something I can do to prevent that from happening with the SDS100? Thanks.

Is there a better Portable Ant other than a home base, or is that one decent

What Remtronix antenna is that?

I have a question can I use this scanner without using the zip code because I am planning to use it in Central America justo to scan different frecuencies thanks

my PRO-!)^ allows me to change charge while using or off alot of settings

Could you tell me how I can get the best out of my whistler TRX-2 police scanner

ifs only was this easy in the uk

hello, excellent video... one question... I live in Argentina and I can't enter my postal code... the question is... can it automatically scan everything that is in the air... do I need to enter my postal code?

fantastic video thanks very much from kb2uew 73 please video for DMR thanks

Why does the SDS100 have two USB connectors 0 the mini-USB and micro-USB? I've used the mini-USB to charge the battery and power it during use, and I've also used it to connect with my W10 Sentinel software. What is the micro-USB for?

Just wondering if this Is a Scanner only or can it also comunicate with other people ( for example like a base version of this) Considering this is quiet expensive Im curious about it. If anyone knows please leave a reply. Thanks.

Fot one coming in do u need the dmr upgrade to recieve digital signals

shouldnt you squeeze the batter and battery cover against the scanner then clip the latch ? That way you arent putting all that pressure on that latch

This is a good scanner,but let down in my opinion by the charge time of the battery.im in the uk,trying to find the desktop charger with spare battery seems impossible here in uk.

I live in the Phoenix metro area do I need the upgrade provide?

Just received my SDS100 today and discovered that I wont be able to use my old Remtronix antenna that I was using on my BCD436HP. Can you guys at Zip Scanners confirm that?

My SDS100 is more like a paper weight right now !

Can you program the radio from zip code ?

I am from South Africa would this scanner work here? Most of the radio's here work with sim cards can it be scanned?

Can I use the sd card from my 436 in this one

I have a SDS100 That needs Repaired , Mine does not recieve any calls No Audio , Needs USB Cover as well , Other then that , its a great Scanner !

Aside from being overly engineered , what about sound quality ? No one ever mentions the sound . Is it like a 2 transistor radio ?

Hello, where are you at in Minnesota? I'm in the Andover/Coon Rapids area and would like to know if you can assist me with getting programming established for this unit. Also, with an 800 mhz antenna would I be able to pickup Metro Transits Radio Traffic from Minneapolis in the Andover area? Lastly, do any of the law enforcement channels or Minnesota State Patrol use any of the upgrades such as DMR, etc. or am I safe without the upgrade? Thanks!

Can you completely disable the GPS?

I am enjoying this scanner but im having a problem-when i try to enter lat-long location i get a "out of range" message

What is the antenna called?

Hello, this scanner will work in south america (Chile)?

Do you program scanners

For everyone about to buy this scanner, a sure fire method of avoiding breaking the battery clasp, is to press down on the battery door, whenever you need to pull the battery out or put it in. I've owned at least two of these scanners and never have had any problem with the battery door clasp breaking on me. Problem may arise when you carelessly pull on the battery door clasp, without first releasing the pressure. You see, the battery compartment door has a piece of foam that exerts pressure on the battery, in order for the battery terminals to make contact with the power circuit. This flaw in the design, came about because the initial units, used a battery with less power capacity and thus were less thicker. When Uniden introduced a "longer" lasting battery, they made the battery bigger, it could still be used with the scanner, however, care had to be taken to relieve the pressure on the battery door first in order to keep the battery door clasp from breaking by the sheer force of the new battery thickness.

It should have a built-in GPS given its cost.

Link to that anntenna?

How far the range go?

Unfortunate Uniden skimped out on quality for the SDS100 battery clamp

This thing is a beast but I'm turned off on the dependence of a computer to do yet, even more tasks. The whole point in my life is to ditch the computer. Especially with the lunatics at the helm. Jeez, a reliable, capable radio, that stands on it's own is getting to be an impossibility anymore. All sales on hold until I decide how much dependence on the computer I want to deal with.

Good info. Your audio is too low.

Buen día me llamo Juan Motte el recibe tetra

I did not get no extra antenna...

The big battery on this radio kills it for me. as big as this battery is, it only gives you up to eight hours of runtime. Which is absolutely ridiculous.. my communication G4 with only four hours charging runs about 17 hours.

I found the sim card holder and the door clip both poorly designed for a scanner that cost $900.00 in Australia the hardware is very badly made.

need it more rugged. Weak points on two major points make it a no go in real world.😢

what about the fact that 98% have gone to POLICE SCANNER ENCRYPTION you don't her crap anymore

Why do you call the SDS100 a "Police" scanner ? Why not just "scanner"... it does WAY more than just police channels.

The First thing you should have done was brighten the screen so we could have seen the first thing you did well as opposed to having to squint and guess.

ПРИВЕТ В РОССИИ РАБОТАЕТ СКАНЕР

There's absolutely no continuity in what you're showing us… You need to explain this from the beginning and what these terms are to make this video useful.

babbling and mumbling.... could hardly understand him !!

Isn’t everything pretty encrypted nowadays?
