The Uniden SDS100 is the first scanner to incorporate I/Q technology and SDR (Software Defined Radio) in a handheld scanner. This will provide performance superior to any other scanner currently offered on LSM (Linear Simulcast Modulation) systems. It uses the Uniden HomePatrol database for ease of programming
