Pros & Cons
Pros
Battery takes a while to fully charge but lasts almost 6. Hours. Only gripe is it charges via mini-usb.
Overall i am satisfied with my purchase. From what i researched this is the best in it's class. I am happy to say the sds100 does not disappoint.
This is the premium scanner that will handle the most radio systems that operate today. This one handles them all like a champ. The build is very sturdy and i'm sure i will replace this radio when technology changes.
Cons
Sds100 is the worst scanner make by uniden. Second new scanner from uniden that stop receiving within a year. One seller, i read after buying this from the atrocious webtron-x amazon seller, says that 75% of all scanner returns are because the s ds100... Read More
The build quality of the sds100 is cheap. If it does, they are inadequate or broken. Not enough to justify the >$600 price tag imo. It is pure marketing to fanboys who will struggle to make this work and never admit it is an inferior, overpriced to... Read More

You tilt it the wrong way and it just completely detaches.
That said it doesn’t feel flimsy or cheap or like a toy and it does look like a professional product.
Price
I will say that i do think it’s overpriced, but only for some quirks.
I do wish for the price it was a higher ip rating!

First upon unboxing it lacks “sturdiness” or “ruggedness” that some professional radios or even ham radios have
