Overview & Features
Want to listen, not become a radio engineer?
The Uniden SDS150 is a premium handheld police scanner built to pick up modern digital radio systems, including the complicated ones that make older scanners throw in the towel.
Whether you're listening to local police, following fire and EMS activity, or taking your scanner on the road, this is Uniden's top handheld.
Why the SDS150?
- Better reception where it matters. True I/Q technology helps tackle simulcast distortion. That's the annoying problem where multiple radio towers turn perfectly good conversations into garbled nonsense.
- GPS built right in. Traveling between counties? The scanner can use your location to determine which nearby systems to scan, without extra GPS hardware.
- Modern conveniences. USB-C charging, a large color screen, easier SD card access and an included charging cradle. About time.
- See what's happening. The included waterfall display shows radio activity visually. Great for anyone who enjoys hunting down new signals.
- Phone connectivity. The U/AWARE app can control the scanner and play audio through your phone. Cool idea, but the app still needs some polish.

SDS150 or SDS100?
Both are excellent scanners. The SDS150 adds GPS, modern charging, phone connectivity and some convenient upgrades, but not everyone needs to spend the extra money.
