Uniden SDS100 Police Radio Scanner - Great and easy to use

[@Milcom34]

I got Both the SDS100 and 200****The Greatest Scanners *******

[@nol_yaw]

i just bought mine a week ago before that i spent a year with the RTL-SDR dongles and all the great software with that, but i'm loving my sds100

[@SHADOWBLACKs650]

You just convinced me to get a handheld sds100 instead of the sds200. .. thanks.

[@RandoRaf]

I was in same boat deciding.. but handheld is just more convenient.

[@corylee5627]

Great review, for speed traps and road conditions get a cb radio, you can get a handheld like that for 50-150, trucker channel 19.

[@RandoRaf]

I've thought about it but just not radio savy and do very little highway driving.

[@stentplacer1662]

I just ordered one yesterday. I know nothing about this. Looking for a new hobby to start.

[@walterlopez1924]

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?

[@RandoRaf]

No it can scan everything too, you can program it via pc as well. Very simple to do.

[@walterlopez1924]

@@RandoRaf thank you very much raf .. I hope a video of how to enter the frequencies with the pc

[@RandoRaf]

@@walterlopez1924 what makes it easy is all you do is add the cities and agencies you want and it does the rest

[@ROCKMASTER-G]

Would this be good to listen to lapd trunked frequencies.

[@RandoRaf]

as long as not encrypted

[@ROCKMASTER-G]

@@RandoRaf ok then how could I listen to an encrypted frequency of say I wanted to just to be nosey....and what scanner should I get

[@RandoRaf]

@@ROCKMASTER-G not sure there is a legal available way. maybe someone has gear to decrypt but I'm not aware.

[@BassOntario]

I have an old analog scanner and really want the sds100 but worried the cost is a waste with all the encryption moving forward. Have you lost out on much frequentcies?

[@RandoRaf]

Yea I hear ya. Not in Chicago area there are rumors though.

[@xray9alpha]

@2BFishn Great video review here, the SDS100 and BCD436 are great. Encryption is a valid concern - after summer of 2020 two local county/city depts went encrypted... If cost is a major concern and you have computer knowledge, research DSD+ and RTL-SDR - you can follow trunked digital radio systems and actually decode more digital modes than this radio for less than 50 bucks if you already have a pc.

[@markallan4849]

Yes, it's the best scanner you can buy. And NO it's not super easy to use, in fact, it has a pretty steep learning curve. I'm good with electronics, and it took me a few weeks hands-on using learning videos and reading two different user manuals. You need to spend an hour or two a day using the scanner to learn it in a reasonable amount of time.

[@frankspliff7037]

Any tips to get good reception bought remtronix antenna and tried every filter reception is not good in area

[@robbquinnimaging4321]

Okay so question, is it a waste of money to have the scanner preprogrammed when I order it?

[@RandoRaf]

sorry for being late but if still considering yes i'd say so. super easy to program.

[@seanpage2063]

Awesome video

[@RC944jim]

Great job! Thanks

[@MrGtino74]

Can you do a video on zip code search?

[@Ross13ful]

And also the scanner apps on phones are delayed on a dedicated scanner it’s not your getting it live as it happens

[@RandoRaf]

Yep. I didnt realize how bad the app is till I got this.

[@Ross13ful]

@@RandoRaf exactly I guess it’s better then nothing if your not able to get a uniden sds 100 or 200 I love mine

[@chesterjohnson4504]

This has been hard as hell to program. For me anyway.

[@POMTB129]

when it's scanning all the city's how do u stop to listen to one city

[@snakeplissskin8046]

To do that tap the dash at the top left. Then scroll with the volume knob

[@sebastiantaranino8795]

Vc tem o link de conpra

[@grambosmiffy]

Hi, will this work in Ireland?

[@RandoRaf]

Depending on freq they use and if not encrypted. I'm not familar with standards over there. But this picks up everything from police, airports, armature radio, businesses.

[@grambosmiffy]

@@RandoRaf Thanks

[@erikgoings441]

I want one

[@tarpontail2750]

How about a set up video anyone

[@FreedomLivelyWatch]

600 bucks god Danm 😢

[@RandoRaf]

Haha ya steep. I was able to find used for 450.

[@themikeymikechannel2947]

I love this one but way too much for something that's not going to work right after they find new ways to move forward in frequency technology! SAD VERY SAD

[@RandoRaf]

Yea once channels get encrypted will be useless for police and fire

[@QRPadventures]

Dude, this IS the move forward in "frequency technology" Not all cities will have encryption. This will be just fine for decades due to all the firmware upgrades to come.
