Overview & Features
Want a serious scanner that stays right where you listen?
The Uniden SDS200 digital police scanner belongs on your desk, in a home listening station, or properly installed in your vehicle. No batteries to swap. No handheld balancing act. Just a full-size radio ready when you are.
Under the hood, it has Uniden's True I/Q receiver, the same technology that made the SDS100 popular with listeners dealing with challenging digital simulcast systems. The difference is how you use it: a bigger display, continuous AC or DC power, and network connectivity for more advanced setups.
Why choose the SDS200?
- True I/Q reception. Built to handle modern digital trunked systems, including simulcast networks where older scanners often produce garbled audio.
- A large, customizable color screen. Easier to see which department is talking when the radio lives across the room or in your dash.
- Power for a permanent setup. Use the included AC adapter at home or the supplied DC equipment in a compatible vehicle installation.
- Ethernet for advanced users. Network the scanner with compatible computer software for remote control, logging or streaming. It takes setup, not just a cable.
- Recording and replay. Capture important transmissions and revisit something you missed while another channel was active.
- Flexible antennas. The BNC connection works with a range of compatible base and vehicle antennas. A well-placed antenna can matter as much as the scanner itself.

Why not just get an SDS100 or SDS150?
The SDS100 gives you similar True I/Q reception in a portable handheld. The SDS150 adds newer handheld conveniences like built-in GPS.
But if your scanner will spend most of its life beside a computer, on a shelf, or built into your vehicle, the SDS200 is the one we'd start with. It's designed for that job.
