    Thanks for your upload. Now I have clues of SDS200 looked like.

    Thanks for the video. I’m looking to get one of these in the next week or so. What’s your opinion on it 5 years later?
  • @JCourts2k23
    Does yours have the buzzing noise come from speaker when scanning, even with volume at 0, also how bright are your keypad lights? Mine where DIM i couldnt even see them in the dark
  • @JCourts2k23
    How are you liking the scanner? Liking mine pretty well, on my 3rd one, trying to find one that didn’t make the hum noise, but no luck, its only a slight hum now, in the background during transmissions. Other than that, its very nice.

    Nice to see large form factor scanners from Uniden.
  • Does the small internal inside antenna perform well? I'm wanting to put a mast out for a outside anyenna
  • This looks like a great scanner. I have the BCD536HP now, might have to upgrade to this one
  • @IMiss_The90s
    I'm jealous you have both of these new models. Lol. Very nice. I'm in Canada. How easy is this (either model) to program vs my 996xt using freescan? I'm very amature at this stuff. Does the sentinel software make it easier? Does it use radio reference etc? Also. Does the GPS dongle come with the sds200? Thanks in advance. I wish they had of put the ethernet front and rear like the micro usb. But overall the sds200 looks nice. Are you pleased with the sds200. Or prefer the sds100 etc?

    Do I use NAC or ignore site NAC? In settings?
  • Both are great looking radios. I have the BCD996P2 and I love this scanner. Problem I am having before a buy a more expensive radio is that most places are starting to scramble their radio traffic. And I hate to buy this radio and can only listen to farmer or the power company. Anyway great video.
  • @MrTommy001
    The problem is, having the other scanner on is annoying while trying to follow your instructions.
  • @EricLDC
    Any idea if marietta Georgia is encrypted. ? Not getting any signals
  • @arniecoons8248
    could you tell me the model of the diamond Antenna that you hooked into the 200? The only ones I can find on Diamond's webpage seem to be 'whip' antennas for the hand-held 100. Thanks.

    I was extremely disappointed that I had to send my SDS100 back due to it not picking up my state police channels (P25 system) that my other scanners pick up with no issues. Hopefully they fixed the issue(s) as I would like to some day get another SDS100 and an SDS200 ...

    Do you feel like there's a little play on the silver function knob? I purchased one today and it doesn't feel like it is going to fall off but it's not nearly as tight feeling as the volume and squelch.
