    The Quick Key system can be a bit confusing on the Uniden SDS100. In this video I set up a favorites list outside of my current area using the zip code feature, narrowing my service types to business only and building some quick keys for the new favorites list to access with direct input.

      I didn't know these fun gadgets has so much to figure out. I bought a used one of the 436HP's to try it out, then returned it and ordered an SDS100. The price of these is *painful* though.

    WOW! I am new to the SDS100, but not new to scanning. My last scanner was a Radio Shack Pro 23. This new stuff is foreign to me, and the instruction manual is not really that clear. So, thank you for breaking everything down so clearly. Your videos on the SDS 100 are of unlimited help to me.

    People have to remember..in order to use the quick keys, you must have the favorite list on in the radio first. If you turn off various quick keys and forget. It may say. " Nothing to scan" even if the favorite list is on in the radio. You'll have to turn the quick key back on. It took me awhile to figure all that out.

    Good video. Made sense. I do not use Quick Key or Favorite Keys or Department keys at all. I just have 60 favorite lists with names that say who they are. I just go into the menu and turn on or turn off the favorite list I want to listen. With the Quick keys, I would need to have a list on paper to know what item is what Quick Key and favorite key and department key to toggle on an off.90% of what i listen to are in one or two favorite list and the rest I would toggle on if I was in a certain area and wanted to listen to a specific agency. Also 99% of what I listen to are Malls, Store like Target and Costco, and hospital Security, and college security, and rail roads. I do have Police and Fire on one Favorite list but hardly listen to them as there are hundreds of Police Precincts in New York City to listen to and I I got burnt out on them decades ago.I only listen to Police or Fire if there is a Big event on my block. I find pleasure in going to places and hunting for new frequencies and collecting them. It is interesting to me to listen to the Chatter in a Costco Store as they work out how many people to let in the store during this Corona thing. Thanks again for the video.

    WOW!! I learned so much just watching this small clip.. I’ve seen many videos and your video just seem to resonate with me.. I’m on the wall about purchasing this scanner but after watching your video it’s kinda of pushing to buy it now .. I’ve been in to scanning for over 35 years… I not new to this stuff, but was wondering if I was ready for this technology… I have a whistler which was a little technical to download but I got it down. I really didn’t want to learn a new system but your video has me thinking… thanks man

    I am still struggling with Quick Keys and developing a good plan to organize them. Using the example of Boise Biz in this video, I can see how to turn the entire favorite list on and off easily. When you go to Airport and add a Quick Key for that system, again, I can see how to easily turn that Airport system on and off. My question is, what then happens with the hundreds of other things in Boise Biz? If there are no additional systems created within Boise Biz for them AND no Quick Keys assigned, will they cease to be able to be monitored, or will they always be on whenever Boise Biz is running?
    I really like your videos. They are very well done! Thank you! How about doing a video about the steps to develop a plan to organize the favorite lists and their quick keys? Avoiding unnecessary complexity is important. Also, for those that don’t have an idyllic memory, what is a good method of creating an easy way to find or recall what each of the MANY quick keys does. With the older scanners that used banks it was easy to do. While it seems that the SD100/SD200 can be similarly organized, it’s really not the same.
    Thanks again!

    I have many quick keys nested into department level. They scan out of sequence when using multiple favorite lists. Example: it'll first scan 1.1 then go to 2.1, 3.1 and so on, then go to 1.2, 2.2, 3.2, then 1.3, 2.3, 3.3.....not staying OK IN the same favorite list like...1.1, 1.2, 1.3.....2.1, 2.2, 2.3....3.1, 3.2, 3.3......it's not in full sequence of each favorites list...it follows the quick keys sequence. These are all trunked groups

    Hey I got my SDS 100 and it’s already exceeded my expectations on what I can receive from my house. I really appreciate your your videos I set up some favorites and I’m gonna learn the quickies next. But can you tell me how you attached your pop socket to your scanner? I can’t figure out how you were able to drill a hole to get the belt clip screw in there. I can’t pull off the back or the front of the pop socket

    I have an SDS100 but have never had a scanner before, so programming it is new to me. I've been able to muddle through Sentinel and set up favorites lists, plus a few other thngs. One problem I have, though, is when I select a list to scan, it says Nothing to Scan. I've set up all the lists the same way, and I do scan 7 out of 10. It's that last 3 that's baffling me. I have Monitor and Download ON. Anyone ran into this problem?

      You just punch in 1.1.1 then enter or 1.1.2 or 1.2.1 depending on how you have it setup etc. you can turn off by just repeating the number so you’ll see an x on the screen if that quick key is off

      @specialistarmy2305 ปีที่แล้ว

      Updating the main database does not update the favorites. You have to go back in and remake your favorites to have the updated information. Everybody skips over this. You can spend a lot of time building your favorites, but they're only good with the database they are made from at the time you created them.
