Stock Uniden SDS100 Antenna Sucks- Comparison to Remtronix and Old School Radio Shack 800 Antenna

[@wavemakersdj]

Highly recommend the Remtronix 843S. Folding version with SMA connector so no BNC adapter needed. Works great and allows the antenna to bend when storing places like a vehicle center console if needed.

Thanks for the Video. I got my SDS100 from the HRO in Phoenix about 3 Weeks ago. What a Awesome Scanner. Also got the Remtronix 810 S Antenna for it. Very Happy with this Set Up. Take Care****

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

Best portable setup you can get! Thank you for watching!

[@Mototow]

Thank you for the outstanding video!! I just purchased a SDS100 and am waiting for it to arrive, a Monday has never felt so far away. While I wait I have been researching antennas and there are so many opinions out there for them. Your video shows the real truth! I'll be using it to monitor a P25 trunked system as well. Looks like a solid winner, thank you!

I'll just throw this in here...I'm using Diamond RH77CA antennas for my GMRS HTs and they work very well with my SDS100. They are tuned for 462-467MHz and perform well on 700-900MHz. They also do pretty well on VHF. Far superior to the stock stubby.

You solved my problem, thanks 😁📡📻

I just recently picked up a SDS100 and I can tell the factory antenna is weak. I've ordered a new antenna and I'm installing a antenna in the truck. They are great tools the SDS. I have discovered the local PD and Sherriff deal with a ton of issues that don't seem to hit the media. Like crashing patrol cars and seeking dangerous fugitives in the community. My main reason for purchase was the swatting of my neighborhood. Yeah, I said my neighbors are being swatted. Talked to the wife after the next door neighbors door was busted down while they were having lunch. Said, honey do we have it in the budget to get that scanner now?.... She said, you know the answer.....

[@rogerNKWYNNVIDS]

I have an sds100 myself and i love it

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

Still the best portable unit after all these years.

[@Charles-zf3hd]

I had one of these radios for about two weeks until my fire chief introduced me to the unication g5 it simply outperforms the sds-100 in battery life and overall built quality.

[@tylerhight4714]

I'm located in walker county ga and have one of theas radios coming wondering of you have been around this area and it works thanks

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

Yes I have- it works great- you will want to get the butel software for programing- it is way, way better than the uniden stuff. Contact me if you have any issues or need help when you get it.

[@tylerhight4714]

I appreciate the reply what advantages do I get with the software vs the zip services?

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

@@tylerhight4714 So the zip services are okay- but not optimized, the trunk systems here use control channels and the zip services will dump all of them into your programing, so the scanner will be searching for the CC rather than being locked on the one closest to you. Using the butel software gives you some amazing tools to customize the programing. Maybe go on Radioreference.com and read up on both the programing and Walker County's different radio systems.

[@tallmike6598]

I'm using a Remtronix on both my SDS100 and SDS200 what a difference for the better.

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

It's amazing what a difference it makes.

[@tminusoftexas3224]

Thank you for video

[@randydinglehopper62]

Thank you!!

[@TriksOfTheTrade]

Thank you

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

You're welcome!

[@ScannerNews916]

What the blue light blinking mine do t do that or I haven’t found out how lol

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

You can program the light color/flashing in the software.

[@Paul-sk2pc]

Could it be the stock antenna is for *all bands while Remtronix excels at 700-900 MHz?

[@shaungilmartin1505]

In the Uk you seem to be paying a lot for features you can't use on this model. I could justify it in the US but not here

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

That's unfortunate. As more and more departments go to full encryption here eventually these will become less useful here.

[@TRAITORS-EXPOSED]

Night and day difference

[@tiny197455]

WS 1065 does only phase 1 not phase 2.. the uniden BCD436HP does both Phase 1 and 2…

[@BentleySimmons-z1t]

Can I buy one from you?

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

You can purchase from Scannermaster.

[@rogerNKWYNNVIDS]

Does your wife know how much those cost?

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

No, it's really not something she's interested in. 🙅‍♀️

[@rogerNKWYNNVIDS]

I was kidding. of course our wives dont know what we dont tell them. Lol

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

@rogerwallace1976 My fear is if I pass she will sell all my crap for the prices I told her I paid for it!

[@GOAT-HEAD]

🤣or just move your scanner a couple inches

[@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

Yeah the antenna actually makes a big difference
