You've left me very confused as how to do this on a non-aprs radio like the ft 2900r. If I turn on tone squelch not just tone but tone squelch on my 2900 then I am only going to going to hear aprs packets that have a tone turned on and are within Simplex range. And then I can make voice contact with them on the aprs channel so that we can switch over to another Simplex Channel. Okay I explained it to myself but I don't think you really did that for me.
Just wondering why Yaesu didn't have enough brains to indicate that voice alert is on or off on the front panel it sure doesn't do this on my FTM 300! I have to dig into the menus to make sure that I've got it turned on which by the way took me a 40-hour week to figure out with the crappy information that's out there for these radios.
Thanks for the video you've pointed me in the right direction after a week of getting jerked around by the Yaesu manual and idiots producing UA-cam videos that don't have a clue. But I'm still somewhat confused as to what actually happens at my end and at the other end when we are in voice alert range. I am not telepathic and I have no idea how that is supposed to go down.
Setting 100 Hertz tone on a non-aprs radio does nothing to block in coming aprs because you don't have tone squelch. It seems to me on a non-aprs radio you want to set the hundred Hertz tone not with carrier squelch but with tone squelch and you didn't seem to say that.
You're completely incorrect about running a hundred Hertz tone on the FTM 300. It does nothing to mute incoming aprs packets!
Yes you must hire people that rode the short bus to school to produce their manuals and most UA-cam producers are not far behind. I watched an entire week of UA-cam videos telling me to turn on tone on 144.390 and to turn on aprs mute. It seems like the real answer is menu item 30 in the aprs menu voice alert it doesn't even say on or off what it says is normal which means off and then you can turn on tone squelch and you don't need to add tone to the frequency because I assume tone squelch does it. Thanks Jason for stealing a goddamn entire week of my time running me in circles with your s***** manuals that are only fit for the outhouse.
Why have I watched about 15 UA-cam's that tell me to add tone to the aprs frequency? On the FTM 300dr I always hear the aprs unless I mute! It seems like after a week of watching UA-cam videos, time for which Yaesu should really be paying me because they're crappy manual doesn't explain anything, anyway you can't figure out how to turn aprs voice on with the FTM 300 because the aprs signals are not muted.
Could you please go into APR voice on the ft M 300dr? The last APR menu item is number 30 APR voice and it has no way to turn it on or off! Not only that but RT system software is incredibly bad and confusing all sorts of bugs and there is not a one-to-one correlation between menu items and configuration items in the RT system software!
I've spent an entire week learning how to use aprs and aprs voice alert on the ftm300dr. The bottom line is I still don't have a freaking clue because these videos overall are so poorly done. I'll read Yaesu the riot act also for producing such crappy manuals that are really only useful in the outhouse.
The User Manual describes how "Range" works, but you do not talk about that in the video. Range areas OVERLAP...so even though you might set the range at (for example) 1 mile...you will hear signals from outside that area. The default "10 mile" setting is really the best.
Paul, I love the scanner but I do have a question about location. The note on the box reads to not enter my zip code if it's pre programmed? So will I ruin the programming you did if I enter the zip code just to see what is around me? Can I listen to everything by zip code and then go back to your programming without messing anything you programmed up? I plan to use this both base and mobile so I need to figure this out. Thanks
You can program away and not loose your programing when you are in a different area. The favorites list and data will all be the same...Only the location frequencies will change. I hope that helps.
I’m glad Unitarian doesn’t put this nonsense on there radios.
on my waterfall it says upgrade needed? Where do I get the upgrade?
my.uniden.com/Index.cfm?accessdenied=%2Fannouncements.cfm
If in uk u don't use that link u go to uniden australia
The other link u have to register the scanner and us for American models not eu
Only issue is uniden eu upgraded on that site but for some reason I can't add my adress anymore, had to pretend I had an Australian adress which doesn't make sens as we are sent to uniden australia if we have eu models and those models are shown as supported
Ref the firmware upgrade I've noticed a small problem on uhf when scanning my systems will, sit on a freq with no signal at all, never did this on these freqs before mostky for me annoyingly 459. 1 and 449.3125 I keep no ctccs dcs etc on one system to find new businesses light users t
I also live in the UK. At this moment in time it’s impossible to purchase the waterfall upgrade for the SDS200e. Though the option has now appeared after a recent update. I have setup and registered accounts in America, the EU and Australia. Also followed the link above. They let you go through the registration process and ordering, then you go to pay and they then refuse payment. We don’t ship to the UK. Come on Uniden you need to get your shit together. We’ve paid a lot of money for these radios and this is how you treat your customers. I’m very disappointed.
Even avera eu said do that after I'd already done it but crazy as eu u are supposed to use Australian site and even has the eu models and never had this issue with them just few weeks before upgraded another radio with a different upgrade and it took my uk details, why ha e they changed might ask avera again can they get uniden Australia to make it easier
Well done! Thanks!
Is this possible in the uk on the 200e and 100e ? I can’t even register with Uniden because I’m in the uk. But I am registered with Avera if that helps. Would be great to have a way to do this in the uk.
Uniden Australia u don't need to register just buy entering an etc but at present for some strange reason u need to add it going to an Australian, or nz adress search Google maps and get zip code and adress and enter this
Avera recommend this
Could you address turning off the two tone APRS signal announcing the arrival of a packet please. Voice alert works great and thank you again on an excellent video. Wd4dda 73
Unfortunately, you cant. This is very annoying and I wish Yaesu would put an option in the next firmware. Glad that voice alert is working for you!
Does it have Bear Tracker?
Can I just scroll to the end from 00.000
I want this bad
I Got the Uniden Waterfall Upgrade on Both my SDS100 and 200. It's Really Cool. Thanks*****
Как получить ключ?
If you press the function button while in waterfall and turn the knob the frequencies change at a faster rate. Press function again and it goes back to normal scroll. Saves you having to spin the knob excessively. 👍
Why do you have sub band mute on.. doesn't that mute the sub band you are listening for voice alerts on? I love your tips by the way! Just got my 500 last week.. what a great radio!
Just Got the Waterfall Upgrade on my SDS100 about an Hour ago. It's Pretty Cool**** Scan On****
I cant wait, I have one on the way. Supposedly next week
Hope you got yours. I am in the same boat, I ordered a SDS February 19 and they say ships mid to late February so I wait. I went ahead and ordered the waterfall already installed as that will ensure that the firmware will be up to date. I will order the NXDN and DMR online and install them myself. Can’t wait!
I got one, still don't know how to use it very well
What radio is this ?
Thank you
Cool thanks. Just ordered an FT500. DE VY2MJ.
Can anyone send the update link for sentinel, not sure if the firmware updated on 23 December last year will be in uk at moment, there's usually a delay between usa and uk
2.05 revision 3 is my current sentinel is that correct, the latest, now awaiting the firmware but in uk, eu usually a few weeks delayed, annoying as the database which is pointless in uk updates same as usa and canada, why can't they release firmware across the globe at same time
Yes i see 2.05 r3 is the one for the firmware update latest so hopefully the delay firmware for eu versions won't be too long
How did you get the keypad to light up???
Thanks for this demo, I'm ordering this option! TIP: From any menu, hit AVOID and it will take you right back to scan. You do not have to keep hitting the side button
FFT stands for “fast forier transform”, which is the mathematical technique (named for French mathemetician and physicist John-Baptiste Joseph Forier) that generates the waterfall graph from the signal spectrum that it’s scanning. It’s the same thing that’s used for generating voiceprints, etc.
Oh! okay, thanks for letting me know. Interesting.
Saludo,parece que se necesita un primer paso antes de colocar 2nd PTT en p-4,mi versión del software es 126,cuál es el software que tiene su ftm-500? KP4RBT, 73
Nice! I’m actually looking at nabbing a FTM series mobile for my truck. I’d like to get more into APRS and never really knew about voice alert. Thanks!
If you need any assistance set up APRS just reach out. Id be more than happy to help.
just got a sds200 and have a 7dbi 800mhz vertical coming. Gotta get the damn key thats what im here for.
I'm trying to see where I can get the key for my sds200 for the waterfall.

Nice vid thanks!.. Asking a fellow sds100 owner or any owner out there.. Is there any settings (tips/tricks) to improving the analog signal quality; harsh "tiny static" sound coming out of the speaker during emissions? Thanks
Thanks! I bought an expensiveness external speaker that did the trick. The speaker gave it a bit more base. As far as better signal, perhaps a better antenna. At home I use an MFJ diskcone and in mobile I use a wide RX mag mount. Seems like the analog isn't all that great with these. I have a Radio Shack Pro 2050 that get really good analog receive.
@@QRPadventures yeah I have a remtronix antenna. Analog just sucks. As for an external speaker; there seems to be issues with that where it makes feedback noise. Not sure why . I’ve also used a habigus Bluetooth adapter and it makes the same type of feedback noise, although an external speaker and Bluetooth adapter work just fine with my bcd325p2. Have u experienced these issues? Thx
@@QRPadventures do u have a link for the external speaker that works?
Nice radio, too bad they cost an arm and a leg
Yeah, they are expensive, however they really are amazing. There are less expensive scanners out there. Check your area, you may be able to get away with not needing an SDS 100/200. I travel all over the US so I wanted a scanner that fit that need and this scanner works great as a mobile.
Great job thanks! 👍
Thanks for watching!
Ill never know why youtube reccomends me shit like this. I can imagine, but ill never know
most impressive
Nice added feature, does anyone know how to actually purchase the needed keys from Uniden?? Insane that no one is explaining how or why unable to find this mystery link..
This FW should also improve the reception and voice quality of digitals - drm, p25, etc.
Can confirm!
I can't wait until they release this for sds100e European version :) Great vid, please come up with that more updated vide, eager to see!
I will check now also
In my personal opinion, this is the radio they should have put single sideband in, I don’t understand why these companies stopped doing this with vhf/uhf mobile radios. It’s a beautiful radio though and been wanting to get one myself.
Great advice. Fully agree this is a much better option than APRS mute.
So, What does it do.
It gives you a visual representation of slice of a number of frequencies that are actively busy.
@@QRPadventureslove that it helps me visually find DMR frequencies without having to use the SRCH feature I believe.. would love an in depth video.. thank you.
@@LURKING323 Yes, I will upload that when I am finished. Tuesday!
