Uniden SDS200E + ACTIVATED DMR + NXDN + PROVOICE

Product Information

The frequency range of different models can range from less than 1MHz to over 2GHz, however the majority of scanners are designed to cover the VHF & UHF bands and typically cover from around 60MHz to 500MHz. Some of the bands covered by scanners are: Aircraft, Marine, Amateur Radio, Taxis, 2-way radios, Motor Sport, etc.

Customizable Color Display – You can set the display color for each field in the display. Additionally, for many fields you can select the information provided. Another way to ensure top speeds is to make sure your frequencies are laid out ascending from lowest to highest in each system. That will help a lot . Range Control – Lets you set how far out from your current location the scanner will search for channels in Favorites Lists and the database.

Another thing is the database which is dedicated to the US/Canada, We dont have access to such a database outside of those coutries. Therefore we have to manually build our own favourite/scan lists which can be time consuming . GPS Compatible – Connect to a GPS receiver (not included) for precise system selection and continuing reselection when you travel. The scanner will automatically select what to scan based on your current location as provided by an external GPS unit. Although here in Scotland we don't have the complicated systems such as provoice and simulcast like our fellow enthusiasts in America / Canada the radio will decode moderate to strong signals easily . The same cannot be said for weaker signals .

It is important to decide what you want to listen to before buying a scanner - it is false economy to buy a cheaper one only to find later that it misses out some frequencies that you would like to listen to. Ideally make a list of all the frequencies you are likely to want to listen to and then see which of the scanners covers all of them. Firmware Version. Copy them EXACTLY into the fields above. BOTH codes are required. We are not responsible if It is possible to boot up to a location based scan + your favorites list by default when you turn on the scanner. This might be useful during a natural disaster. If you assign a Startup Key to your Favorites List you can boot only to your Favorites List by holding down the appropriate key at startup. This is more useful for limiting your scan to Police and local UHF/VHF traffic.they can be software loaded for ease because with trunking you have multiple Frequencies and Alpha tags ( ID numbers and Names) for each Do not submit a product review critiquing another review or reviewer. Reviewers should be able to share their product opinion without being publicly criticized. In addition to the frequency selection the more expensive scanners often allow you to switch the mode between AM & FM. On the cheaper ones this is often done automatically and you can not change it.

Products to be reviewed typically should be tangible ham radio related items such as radios, antennas, towers, test equipment, feedlines, etc. All settings for the SDS-200 are stored on a micro-SD card, which is included. You can either use a USB cable (supplied) to connect your PC, running the Sentinel software to the scanner, or you can take the micro- SD card out of the scanner and insert it into a reader on your PC and edit the configuration Search Avoids – You can temporarily Avoid up to 250 frequencies and permanently Avoid up to 250 frequencies in any Search mode or Close Call mode. As an all-in-one unit (large display , decoding of DMR/NXDN/PROVOICE/P25 , Networking VOIP) i would say this unit is probably the best out there for its price range . Scanners are wide band radio receivers that cover arange of frequencies. Most have "gaps" in their coverage and generally the more you pay the fewer gaps they have. The main gap that the cheaper scanners haveis the UHF Military Airband.

The State Police for Your Area In Analog Trunk for the most part and Your Local Police are using the P25 Platform or Analog UHF. I tuned the frequency above and below 156.0 and the carrier seems to be more centered on 155.9975 than it does if I tune above to 156.0025. I basically lose the carrier at 156.005 but can still hear it at 155.995 but not as strong as 156 or 155.9975. Conclusion , without hardware amendments and complete firmware redesign the SDS series will remain mediocre in terms of filtering and weak signal decoding of digital modes . If your new review has not been Approved after several days you can assume that it was found to not be within the product review T's&C's shown below during screening. The scanners sweetspot is tailored at decoding digital audio and basically everything to do with the menu system is related to this .

If you upgrade the firmware or reprogram the radio after the upgrade the DMR and ProVoice functions will remain PC Programming – Use the Sentinel software to manage your scanner’s Profiles, Favorites Lists, Databases, and firmware updates.
