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, fire, 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 specific 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. 5

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