I want to give a big shout out to Eddie and the rest of the team at Zip Scanners. I ordered the Uniden SDS150 Ultimate Bundle, but prior to ordering I called to ask questions and Eddie was patient and answered all my questions. After our conversation I ordered the bundle pack on Thursday and was told I would probably have it by Wednesday and received it yesterday two days earlier than estimated ready to go. I highly recommend and will definitely be coming back for all my future purchases. Thanks again everybody at Zip Scanners.
The performance difference is night and day compared to the stock antenna.
This antenna is insanely great. well made. It picks up police transmissions from Powers and S Carefree in Colorado Springs all the way across town to Monument Police FROM INSIDE MY BEDROOM! Thats 20+ miles of hilly city from inside a bedroom with antenna mag base sitting on a TV stand metal base and no clear line of sight. When I place my Remtronix tri-band rubber duck antenna back on I only get local stuff. Crazier still, my window has metal blinds. In every way youd think signal loss in every way. No, Im even getting signals from Fountain Co, Woodland Park Co, Black Forrest Co, Peyton Co. All areas around me that are 25 to 40 miles away. I pick up state patrol sometimes in Castle Rock Co which is 40 miles away with mountains in front of it. It picks up mountain forestry over 50 miles away at times. SDS100 works under a watt I believe but it makes HIGH efficient use of this antenna. In the photo I swapped mag bases with my Browning/Laird NMO type but its no different or better than the Hustler mag base. its the antenna that shines here. I use the hustler base for my UHF 2 way radios. BUY IT. you will love it on a SDS100 in your car with BNC connections.
Zipscanners had the SDS 150 in stock so I bought it they got it to me very quickly!! I love it so far!! It’s the best scanner I’ve owned yet!!
this scanner is rocks my area has simulcast distortion my other scanner that I had was not able to handle this mostly because I did not do my research on scanners I used the app before but can't tell who is talking when you use the app works great and programmed and ready out of the box
