Living as a freelance photojournalist, I need to make sure I am getting the latest breaking news. In areas where I am not familiar with, I need an easy way to tap into local scanner traffic, and that is an area the Uniden SDS100 excels.

As others have asked, I'd love to hear more about the glass mount antenna, please. Thank you.

Very helpful and compact video. Conveys great, critical information which is not found in the operation manual. Thanks.

You are one of the best "HOSTS" or best videos channels I have watched. Very, very good and EZ to follow. Keep up the great work!!

Thanks for your input on a gps setup for the sds100.
I used your links, the cable is discontinued at Amazon, but found one through part number.
Good stuff...
BTW, the sds100 is awesome BUT highly addictive and "spare" time consuming!!
Haha.
Stay safe!

Thanks for sharing!! This answered so many questions I had!! I drive through several states a day and was very interested in the GPS function. Glad to see it functions just as I was hoping. I just ordered the gps set up for my sds100.

If you don't have a GPS cable, you can enter the Area Code that you're in. The receiver will automatically load all the frequencies in that area. I always set my range to 50 miles. In my opinion, this is one of the best handheld receivers for monitoring Police, Fire, Ambulance.

Great info man, what antenna you using in your vehicle? Thanks!

[watchmanmichael]

Great Informative Videos Brother, Thanks.

Would love to see a video of your amateur radio setup, I've been wanting to get into HAM for quite a while, especially with being a spotter.

Someone is selling a used SDS100 and I was wondering about it's GPS capability. I'm disappointed that GPS has to be provided via a cable to an external device. I wonder if they couldn't add bluetooth way to connect to a GPS-enabled smartphone in a future version. That or just add GPS to the unit. GPS seems like such a useful enhancement, I think it ought be a requirement. I feel the same way about cameras. I can't believe how hard it is to find a good DSLR with built-in GPS.

I’m currently looking at purchasing a SDS100, I’m part of Arkansas Skywarn and storm spotter so I was looking for something I could listen to my local departments to I could help report back to the national weather service and Skywarn.

So I bought everything you listed. It doesn’t auto update as your did.

[Cstett]

You need to get the modded INTERNAL Built-IN GPS for the SDS100! Works perfectly!

[ChuckRowe]

That is super cool. I love my GPS puck for my SDS100. The storm chasing seems very exciting. Are there any particular service types you listen to for storm spotting information?
