Most menus and buttons are identical to the BCD436HP.
*Flexible Easy System or Channel Selection using Zip Code or GPS and Service Types - just pick the kinds of channels you want to hear and tell the SDS100 where you are and let it do the rest.
+
*'''ZIP Services Mode:''' Enter your ZIP code, service type, and range. The scanner will aggregate a list of nearby radio channels to listen to.
*Range Control - Lets you set how far out from your current location the scanner will search for Channels in Favorites Lists and the Database. Location precision for Departments and Sites that allows you to define a location and range using rectangles instead just of a single circle.
+
*'''GPS Mode:''' Purchase the [http://info.uniden.com/twiki/bin/view/UnidenMan4/ConnectingAGpsReceiver| additional GPS module] and cable to have the scanner automatically update its location to pull in nearby radio channels without having to enter a ZIP code
*[http://info.uniden.com/twiki/bin/view/UnidenMan4/ConnectingAGpsReceiver| Serial GPS] input for location-based scanning using the [http://www.uniden.com/scanner/scanner-accessories/id-BC-GPSK/BC-GPSK_Serial_GPS_Receiver_for_Scanner_and_Marine_Products| Uniden GC-GPSK] or other compatible GPS receiver.
