Overview & Features
Want excellent reception without paying for every bell and whistle?
The Uniden SDS100 digital police scanner has been one of our favorites for years. And there's a reason people keep buying it.
It's a serious handheld scanner built for modern digital radio systems, especially simulcast systems that can make cheaper scanners sound like somebody talking through a blender.
The newer SDS150 has some nice upgrades. But if your priority is excellent digital reception rather than every modern convenience, the SDS100 is still a terrific choice.
Why the SDS100?
- Excellent simulcast reception. Uniden's True I/Q technology helps decode complicated digital radio systems that give many traditional scanners trouble.
- Premium digital scanning. Monitor compatible police, fire, EMS, weather and other radio communications, including standard digital P25 systems.
- Customizable color display. Make the screen show information that matters instead of squinting at a sea of abbreviations.
- Built for everyday use. A rechargeable battery, recording features, backlit controls and a rugged, splash-resistant design.
- A proven platform. Years of software updates, tutorials and owner discussions. You're not figuring this thing out alone.

SDS100 or SDS150?
Choose the SDS100 if you want premium digital reception, mostly listen in one area and don't need built-in GPS, USB-C charging or phone-app control.
Choose the SDS150 if those added conveniences matter, especially when traveling or using the scanner every day. Neither can decode encrypted channels.
