Drawbacks - somebody needs to write a decent manual! The manual throws everything at you without organizing and explaining features in natural groups. If you are used to the older style scanners with "Channels" and "Banks" then there is a way to do this. The "Systems" and "Departments" and "Favorites Lists" are analogous to Banks and Channels but much more. The digital nature of modern radio systems (Trunked, etc) is well supported in this radio, and that (I presume) is why it is organized the way it is, but it may take a bit of study at first.
The receiver is sensitive and decodes modulation better than previous receivers in the Uniden lineup. Additional premium modulation types are optional for purchase.
This radio covers all the usual radio bands and modes, and can be enabled to receive hundreds (or thousands?) of channels. Therefore if you enable too much, it will not get back to visit each channel very often, so you may miss transmissions if you have too much enabled. Restrain youself, and it will easily scan several dozen channels without missing much - but every scanning radio has this drawback, it's just physics.
Receiver seems clean with little Intermod or birdies. Cannot receive encrypted channels, of course, so check with your local departments' radio systems so you are not disappointed to find that no radio can pick them up.
Overall: I am very pleased with this radio. It is pricey, but head and shoulders above anything else on the consumer radio market.
I was able to download the necessary framework, there are YouTube tutorials that will assist. I have been playing with this all weekend. Great scanner! I have only scratched the surface on what this is capable of. If you like to tinker, and play with the tech, this is the scanner for you!

After setting the receiver up, I realized it was not just an old fashioned scanner, but a complex sophisticated piece of equipment. There are quick setups available, but I wanted to learn how to set up this radio manually. After several days of studying and exploring this equipment, I can say with total confidence, this radio "blew me away". Its options from filter settings, to search and find abilities blew away my expectations. There are massive "Easter eggs" inside the software and hardware that make this a fantastic investment. Channel activity alerts, filter settings, individual channel volume fine tuning, custom display changes INCLUDING redefining display definitions, digital noise and error variables you can display, etc. If you don't want to mess it the complex options on your own, you can quickly set up a complete channel programming by entering your zip code, or using the optional GPS system.
Some of the major complaints I've seen causing low reviews seem to be due to the complexity of the unit. Its not going to be something you can master in a day, but many of the complaints I see do have adjustments within the unit (one channel being too loud or quiet, etc). If you have a problem with reception, there is probably a setting to help, you just have to learn how to use it.
With that said, I was so impressed with the device that I upgraded the unit with all options, taught myself the functions of the unit, and have become a massive fan of the sds200! The price of the unit is well worth the cost in my opinion, just beware of sellers inflating it beyond the manufacturers recommended price. You can buy the upgrades from other vendors, but its less expensive to purchase them directly from uniden.
This is not your fathers police scanner. Its a complex scanning beast. You just have to get to know it. I give it an A+, and have absolutely zero regrets. In my opinion, the best trunk scanning receiver on the market.
