The SDS100E is a handheld scanner with True I/Q reception and TrunkTracker support. It follows supported trunked systems as well as conventional radio channels. Its I/Q architecture is particularly suited to simulcast reception, where multiple transmitters carry the same signal.

The EDNP retail version is offered with DMR, NXDN, ProVoice and dPMR activations. Favourites lists organise systems, sites and channel groups, with Quick Keys enabling selected items. Sentinel manages profiles and firmware. Recording and Replay store or repeat received transmissions on microSD, while the colour display offers configurable information fields and colours.

Features & equipment

  • Close Call automatically finds nearby strong radio signals.
  • TrunkTracker, priority scanning and conventional channel operation.
  • Quick Keys, favourites lists, service types and temporary or permanent channel avoidance.
  • Audio recording and Replay of recent transmissions.
  • Location-based selection with an optional external GPS receiver.
  • ARC536 Pro adds virtual control and logging to PC programming.
