      <title>SDS firmware updates</title>

      <description>&lt;![CDATA[Uniden recently provided a couple firmware updates for the SDS scanners. One of stated improvements was better reception of digital voice modes.

<p>I can confirm that for me, at a particular spot, on my particular SDS with my antenna hub antenna arrangement for UHF. I saw marked improvement on low signal DMR traffic. I was always able to receive it previously, however it took a while for the SDS to lock on.  Coming back to that signal, I could tell the SDS locked on to the signal faster and this time started receiving a second site the organization has that is certainly obscured by terrain, when prior I could never receive it.</p>

<p>So, for me, the SDS firmware is a marked improvement when listening to low signal DMR.</p>

<p>On the topic of the SDS and weak signals, came across this video. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5bLbDeudIE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5bLbDeudIE</a>   While I don&#39;t have an R8600( I dream of one ) I was impressed with the comparison, and was impressed with the SDS200 performance on such a signal.</p>
