USING THIS MANUAL

This manual describes the functions and features of your scanner. It assumes that you know the

basic structure of radio systems and how they work. Just as a car owner’s manual does not teach

you how to drive, this manual does not teach you about radio systems. There are many resources

for learning about radio systems, including wiki articles, forum discussions, and YouTube videos.

We encourage you to start at RadioReference.com’s discussion forums.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Before you use this scanner, please read and observe the following:

Earphone Warning

You can use an optional 32Ω stereo headset or earphone with your scanner. Use of an incorrect

earphone or headset might be potentially hazardous to your hearing. The output of the phone jack

is monaural, but you will hear it in both headphones of a stereo headset.

Set the volume to a comfortable audio level coming from the speaker before plugging in the

earphone or headset. Otherwise, you might experience some discomfort or possible hearing

damage if the volume suddenly becomes too loud because of the volume control or squelch

control setting. This might be particularly true of the type of earphone that is placed in the ear

canal.

Liquid Exposure Warning

Uniden does not represent this unit to be waterproof. This product is not warranteed against water

damage

SCANNING LEGALLY

Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups, including police and re

departments, ambulance services, government agencies, private companies, amateur radio

services, military operations, pager services, and wireline (telephone and telegraph) service

providers. It is legal to listen to almost every transmission your scanner can receive. However,

there are some transmissions that you should never intentionally listen to. These include:

• Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private means of telephone signal

transmission).

• Pager transmissions.

• Any scrambled or encrypted transmissions

According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), you are subject to nes and

possible imprisonment for intentionally listening to, using, or divulging the contents of such a

conversation unless you have the consent of a party to the conversation (unless such activity is

otherwise illegal). This scanner has been designed to prevent the reception of cellular telephone

transmissions and the decoding of scrambled transmissions. This is done to comply with the

legal requirement that scanners be manufactured so they are not easy to modify to pick up these

transmissions. Do not open your scanners case to make any modications that could allow it

to pick up transmissions that are illegal to monitor. Modifying or tampering with your scanners

internal components or using it in a way other than as described in this manual could invalidate

your warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. In some areas, mobile and/or

portable use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit. Check the laws in your area. It is

also illegal in many areas (and a bad idea everywhere) to interfere with the duties of public safety

ofcials by traveling to the scene of an incident without authorization.

INTRODUCTION

The Uniden SDS200 is a digital base/mobile TrunkTracker communications receiver that

incorporates the HomePatrol database of all known radio systems in the USA and Canada.

Programming it can be as simple as entering your zip code. Its True I/Q™ receiver provides for

improved digital performance in challenging RF environments. Its customizable color display

allows access to the information you want to see.

HOW DOES THE HOMEPATROL® DATABASE WORK?

When you set your location, the scanner selects channels near that location. If you enter your

zip code, the scanner searches within a 10 mile radius of the center of that zip code. If you use

the Auto Locate feature, that range increases to 30 miles. If you manually enter your location or

connect an optional GPS receiver, your scanner will select channels that apply to your precise

location. You can adjust the selection range from 0 to 50 miles.

The database is updated weekly from RadioReference, the most comprehensive repository of

radio system available. Updating the radio database in your SDS200 is as simple as connecting it

to your PC and running the included Sentinel software.

WHAT YOU HEAR

Your scanner has over 10,000 police, re, ambulance, business, utility, and other agencies set for

instant access. You can also listen to weather channels and weather alerts, and you can set your

scanner to monitor weather alerts.

There are some communications that the public is locked out from monitoring. Your

scanner cannot receive agencies that encrypt their communications; it also cannot receive

agencies on some private proprietary systems.

Because there are so many different kinds of communications going on, you can turn on specic

types of agencies you want to hear (and turn off those you don’t).

CREATE FAVORITES LISTS

You are not limited to using the included database. You can also create your own Favorites Lists

which you can customize to your preferences.

AVOID TRANSMISSIONS

You can also select transmissions for your scanner to Avoid (ignore).

REPLAY TRANSMISSIONS

Your scanner’s Replay feature will instantly replay the transmissions you’ve just heard. You can

set how long a period Replay records for instant playback. This period can range from 30 seconds

to 4 minutes.

RECORD TRANSMISSIONS

With your scanner, you can record transmissions. When you begin recording, your scanner adds

the Replay recording buffer to the recording. These recording sessions are saved and can be

replayed on demand. Rename and delete sessions through the Review Recordings submenu.

BASIC USAGE INFORMATION

UNDERSTANDING THE MEMORY

All information contained in the scanner is stored on a microSD card supplied with the scanner.

This includes Favorites Lists, all the radio settings, and the RadioReference database.

FAVORITES LISTS

Because the memory is based on the RadioReference database, the SDS200 has a different

organization unlike banks and channels in older scanners, but more like Dynamic Memory

Architecture (DMA) used for the last few generations of scanners. Favorites Lists follow the

RR database structure of Systems that contain Departments that hold Channels (conventional

frequencies or IDs) and then Sites to hold trunking frequencies. If you are familiar with DMA

scanners, think of departments as being like channel groups.

Favorites Lists let you store channels you nd when you are scanning from the full database (the

easiest way). They can contain channels from trunking systems and conventional systems. You

can also manually add systems, departments and channels into Favorites Lists from the database

as well as program new systems, departments, sites, and channels with the Sentinel software.

You can save up to 256 different Favorite Lists in the scanner (and software) and associate them

with any or all of your proles. You can monitor one or more Favorites Lists at a time and/or the

database. You can also export your Favorites Lists to a le to share them. Deleting a prole does

not delete the Favorites Lists associated with a prole. However, deleting a Favorites List does

delete it from all proles.

SYSTEMS

Systems hold Sites, Departments, and Channels.

TRUNKING SITES

Inside trunked systems are sites that hold the trunking frequencies for the trunking system as well

as any band plan information needed. You need at least one site for each trunked system and

some systems have more than one site.

DEPARTMENTS

Departments are created inside systems. Departments hold frequencies (channels) for

conventional systems and Talk Group IDs (also called channels) for trunked systems.

SENTINEL SOFTWARE

MANAGE PROFILES

Proles are “snapshots” of your scanner’s set up. A prole contains all conguration settings as

well as all Favorites Lists, Avoids, and System settings. Sentinel can save multiple proles so

you can restore different proles as you need them. For example, if you regularly visit a specic

location, you can create a prole for that location. You can save it to Sentinel to use whenever you

visit.

MANAGE FAVORITES LISTS

You can create Favorites Lists in Sentinel then associate them with specic proles. Sentinel lets

you create new systems or edit systems already in a Favorites List. When a prole is written to

your scanner, only specied Favorites Lists are written to the scanner. Note that all Favorites Lists

are shared by all Proles. If you delete a Favorites List, it is deleted from all proles. If you

want to use a particular Favorites List in some Proles and not use it in Others, use the Download

and/or Monitor settings in the Prole Editor to select your preference.

MANAGE DATABASES

Uniden updates the Database used in your scanner every week. You can decide how often

you want to update the databases on your scanner. When you update them through Sentinel, it

checks the website for the most current database and saves it in Sentinel. When you select Write

to Scanner, the new database is updated in the scanner. Updating the main database does not

update any Favorites List. Your customizations and selections are preserved.

HOW TO INSTALL SENTINEL SOFTWARE

1. Go to the scanner’s product page at Uniden.com and click the link for support les.

2. Download the latest version of Sentinel.

3. Unzip the le you downloaded, then click on setup.exe and follow the on-screen instructions

to install Sentinel.

UPDATING FIRMWARE

Your scanner updates its rmware through Sentinel. In that process, Sentinel connects to the

internet and checks for the current rmware version to download.

From time to time, Uniden will release rmware updates to improve existing functionality, add new

features, or address issues found in its operation. Updating the rmware takes just a few minutes

and is easily accomplished using the Sentinel Software you installed on your PC.

Simply connect your scanner to your PC using the supplied USB cable and select . Mass Storage

Then, in Sentinel select UPDATE/Update Firmware and follow the on-screen prompts.

For information about what is included in each update, see:

• http://info.uniden.com/UnidenMan4/SDS200FirmwareUpdates

UPDATING THE DATABASE

1. To update the scanner’s database, connect it to your PC using the supplied USB cable.

Select Mass Storage.

2. Next, in Sentinel, select UPDATE/Update Master HPDB. This updates the database in

Sentinel, .but does not update the database in the scanner

3. Finally, write the new database to your scanner by selecting .Scanner/Write to Scanner

DATA NAMING

Name any Favorites List, System, Site, Department, Channel, Location, Custom Search,

Recording Session, Tone-Out, or SAME group using up to 64 characters.

To Enter a Character, turn the scroll control until the character you want appears. To move the

cursor to the right, press the right soft key .(>)

To move the cursor to the left, press the left soft key . To clear a character, press .(<) ./no

To clear all characters, press./no twice. Press E/yes when nished to exit.

PRIORITY SCANNING

Priority Scan – When the scanner is scanning a Conventional System, it interrupts scanning,

based on the Priority Interval and Max Channels settings, to check priority channels for activity.

The more channels you have set to priority, the longer the interruption will be. The Favorites

List(s) and System(s) containing the priority channel(s) have to be enabled (and not Avoided) or

the scanner will display .Priority Scan No Channel

Priority DND – The scanner checks priority channels, based on the Priority Interval and Max

Channels settings, only when not receiving other conventional channels so there is no interruption

in scanning with conventional systems.

Priority ID Scan – This function is similar to conventional priority although there is no interruption

during the transmission. Priority is checked in between transmissions, when the scanner is

receiving the control channel, and during the channel delay period. The scanner can only look for

priority IDs in the trunked system it is currently scanning.

Preemptive Priority ID Scanning – For Motorola systems that have channel priority active on the

system, if you ag a channel as priority and the system also has that TGID identied as a priority

channel, the scanner will preempt any current transmission if the TGID becomes active.

The highest priority is for channels in System Quick Key 0. The lowest priority is for channels in

System Quick Key 99. Priority for priority channels in the same channel Department follows the

order in which the channels were created.

To use Priority Scan, you must rst set your Priority Channels.

To use Priority ID Scan, you must also enable Priority ID Scan for each system.

To toggle Priority Modes, press then .Func ./no(Pri)

Priority is always on for a trunked system, if enabled in the system.

SCANNING ORDER

With previous scanners, you selected banks to scan. With this scanner, you select Favorites Lists,

Systems, Departments Sites, and to scan by assigning Quick Keys to them.

Scanning is performed in a mixture of FLQK order and SQK order. The scanner does not scan all

Systems in one Favorites List and then move to the next List.

For each Favorites List with a quick key, starting with 0, the scanner scans each 0 SQK in FLQK

order and then move sto the next set of SQKs for each list.

Example:

FLQK 0, SQK 0; FLQK 1, SQK 0…. FLQK 98, SQK 99; FLQK 99, SQK, 99. Department and Site

Quick Keys are scanned with each System.

Systems with the same quick key are scanned in order of creation.

The Database is scanned next. Then, Systems with no quick key (including created Quick Save

Systems) are scanned and in order of creation.

Conventional Channels and Departments within Systems are also scanned in order of creation.

TGIDs are not really scanned. The scanner checks for any activity in the trunking system and:

• Stops on all unavoided TGIDs when ID Search mode is set to On.

• Stops only on programmed TGIDs when ID Search mode is set to Off.

Next, any Custom Searches (enabled for Search with Scan) are scanned in order (Close Call Hits

last).

Then, the scanner scans the Close Call ‘Hits with Scan’ system (if Unavoided). This is a system

that automatically stores the frequencies found by Close Call. If the ‘Hits with Scan’ system has no

frequencies, the scanner does not scan the system.

The scanner scans a system for the duration you set using the System Hold Time option. For

trunked systems, the scanner moves to the next system after the hold time expires, the current

transmission ends, and the channel delay expires. Conventional systems operate similarly, but all

(Unavoided) channels are scanned at least one time regardless of the hold time setting.

SCANNING

Scanning Checklist:

To ensure you do not get a “Nothing to Scan” message on the scanner:

1. You must enable at least one Favorites List or the Full Database in Select Lists to Monitor.

2. Favorites Lists or Systems, with Quick Keys assigned to them, must be enabled with quick

keys or through Manage Quick Key Status.

3. Service Types required for channels must be set to On.

4. You must set your location to an area that has channels to scan, or set one or more

Favorites Lists to not use Location Control.

Any Favorites List not assigned to a quick key, not Avoided, with channels within your current

location and range and set to On in Select – to Monitor will be scanned. Any System, Department,

or Site (or Quick Save System/Department) not assigned to a quick key and not Avoided, will be

scanned.

UNDERSTANDING LOCATION, RANGE, AND SERVICES

All radio systems in your scanner’s database are tagged with location information. A geotag has

latitude, longitude, and range. This tag describes a circle centered at the latitude/longitude that

fully encompasses the entity (i.e. city, town, state, etc.) served by the radio system. Taking a look

at some of the systems in the Fort Worth, TX area, you can see that each system has its own little

circle. These roughly outline each system’s intended coverage.

Each entry also includes all the radio system information (frequencies, descriptions, tags

indicating how each channel is used, etc).

If you use your Zip Code as your location, the scanner sets your location to be within 10 miles

of the center of the zip code. Good enough for catching local comms. We’ve drawn that circle in

using a thicker line on the next map.

The scanner selects channels from systems that overlap the thick circle. So, the system down

south that covers Burleson is included even though only part of it is covered, but Haslet, way up

north, is not included.

Each location method uses a different range. In addition to the 10-mile Zip Code radius, the

scanner uses:

• Auto Locate: 30-miles radius from the discovered radio tower.

• GPS or Manual Location: 0-miles radius.

0 miles means that your location is precisely known. For a radio system to be selected, its

circle must enclose your precise position. This setting is great if you are traveling…the scanner

automatically selects and deselects systems as you drive through each system’s coverage zone.

You can manually change the range setting to be bigger (to include more systems) or smaller (to

include fewer systems) by going to the Range menu and adjusting the range up or down.

QUICK NAVIGATION CONCEPTS

ASSIGNING QUICK KEYS

Quick Keys let you quickly turn on/off favorites lists, systems within a favorites list, and

departments and sites within systems. There are three levels of quick key as described below.

FAVORITES LIST QUICK KEYS

Favorites Lists Quick Keys (FLQK) quickly enable or disable entire Favorites Lists for scanning.

There are 100 FLQKs (00-99). These are like the bank keys used on older scanners. You do not

have to assign a FLQK to a favorites list, but doing so makes it easier to modify what you are

currently scanning. Each FLQK can only be used one time (i.e. two favorites lists cannot have the

same FLQK).

SYSTEM QUICK KEYS

System Quick Keys (SQK) quickly enable or disable conventional and trunked systems for

scanning. There are 100 SQKs (00-99). You can use the same SQK for multiple systems.

DEPARTMENT/SITES QUICK KEYS

Department/Site Quick Keys (DQK) quickly enable or disable departments or sites. There are 100

DQKs (00-99). You can use the same DQK for multiple departments and sites.

USING QUICK KEYS

To enable or disable a Quick Key, while scanning, enter all or part of:

FF.SS.DD then press .E

• FF=FQK

• SS=SQK

• DD=DQK

Examples:

• 10 E: Toggle FQK 10

• 10.03 E: Toggle SQK 03 in FQK 10

• 10.03.02 E: Toggle DQK 02 in SQK 03 in FQK 10.

• .03 E: Toggle SQK 03 in the currently scanned Favorites List

• ..04 E: Toggle DQK 04 in the currently scanned system.

Toggling a SQK or DQK only affects the quick key within the current hierarchy. If you have

the same SQK under a different Favorites List, that SQK is unaffected.

You can assign a display area to indicate the FQK/SQK/DQK status. See Customizing the

Display, on page 22.

SEARCH KEYS

You can assign any search function to (1, 2, or 3) to quickly go to that search. Use the Search Keys

menu function Search for… Set Search Key→ to assign the search functions. To start the search, hold

on a channel, the press , , or .F+1 2 3

STARTUP KEYS

You can program each of your Favorites Lists with a Startup Key so that when you power (0-9)

up the scanner and press the key number, just those Favorites List(s) assigned to the key will be

enabled for scan. Systems are not affected. Assign a startup key when programming Favorites

Lists.

To use a startup key, hold it down while powering on the scanner. Items with a matching startup

key will be enabled for scanning. Items with a startup key that does not match will be disabled for

scanning. Items with no startup key will not be affected.

NUMBER TAGS

Numbers tags will allow you to tag each Favorites List, System, and Channel so you can quickly

go to that element. Number tags can range from 0 to 99 for Favorites Lists and Systems and

0-999 for Channels.

To use a number tag, hold on any channel, then enter the tag as FF.SS.CC and press Channel

(soft key ).3

CHANNEL/ID ALERTS

You can program your scanner to alert you when a Channel or Unit ID is received, you receive

a Close Call hit, an ID is transmitted with an Emergency Alert or you receive a Tone-out hit. For

each alert in the scanner, you can select from 9 different tone patterns, 15 volume settings, 7

colors, and 3 ash patterns.

QUICK FREQUENCY TUNING

To quickly tune to a frequency and enter quick search mode:

1. Hold on any channel.

2. Key in any frequency.

3. Press (soft key ).CHAN 3

QUICK TALK GROUP TUNING

To quickly tune to a talk group in the trunked system you are currently scanning, while scanning

that trunked system:

1. Hold on any channel.

2. Key in the talk group ID.

3. Press (soft key ).CHAN 3

MENU REFERENCE

The scanner’s menu gives you access to all the scanner’s setting as well as programming. The

table below provides a quick description of most of the scanner’s menu tree. For procedures that

need more explanation, the table will indicate where in this manual to look for that explanation.
