INTRODUCTION
The Uniden SDS100 is a digital TrunkTracker communications receiver that incorporates the
HomePatrol database of all known radio systems in the USA and Canada. Programming it can
be as simple as entering your zip code. Its True I/Q™ receiver provides for improved digital
performance in challenging RF environments. Built to JIS4 standards, it is rugged and weather
resistant. Its customizable color display allows instant access to the information you want to see.
HOW DOES THE HOMEPATROL® DATABASE WORK?
When you set your location, the scanner selects channels near that location. If you enter your
zip code, the scanner searches within a 20 mile radius of the center of that zip code. If you use
the Auto Locate feature, that range increases to 30 miles. If you manually enter your location or
connect an optional GPS receiver, your scanner will select channels that apply to your precise
location. You can adjust the selection range from 0 to 50 miles.
The database is updated weekly from RadioReference, the most comprehensive repository of
radio system available. Updating the radio database in your SDS100 is as simple as connecting it
to your PC and running the included Sentinel software.
WHAT YOU HEAR
Your scanner has over 10,000 police, fire, ambulance, business, utility, and other agencies set for
instant access. You can also listen to weather channels and weather alerts, and you can set your
scanner to monitor weather alerts.
There are some communications that the public is locked out from monitoring. Your
scanner cannot receive agencies that encrypt their communications; it also cannot receive
agencies on some private proprietary systems.
Because there are so many different kinds of communications going on, you can turn on specific
types of agencies you want to hear (and turn off those you don’t).
CREATE FAVORITES LISTS
You are not limited to using the included database. You can also create your own Favorites Lists
which you can customize to your preferences.
AVOID TRANSMISSIONS
You can also select transmissions for your scanner to Avoid (ignore).
REPLAY TRANSMISSIONS
Your scanner’s Replay feature acts as an instant replay of the transmissions you’ve just heard.
You can set how long a period Replay records for instant playback. This period can range from
30 seconds to 240 seconds (4 minutes). While you can replay that recording immediately and
continue replaying it, you cannot save it for future listening.
