My New Uniden BCD 536/436 HP Sucks.

I do not have either yet but i figured might just as well start a thread because i am sure more rants are coming and they might just end up here.

LOL!! I love it! I'll start:

I'm really disappointed with my 436HP. I ordered it a month ago and still can't seem to find it in my house ANYWHERE!! Why did Uniden make an invisible, intangible scanner? And worse, WHY DID I BUY AN INVISIBLE, INTANGIBLE SCANNER! What a waste of $500. If I could find it, I could turn it up so I could at least hear it, but no such luck. Damn you, Uniden! I'm done buying Uniden invisible scanners. If I can't see the scanner then I'm not buying it. Lesson learned!

I really like mine, it didn't cost me anything, I didn't have to program it and it has absolutely no static.

You recently got a BCD 536, and until now all you had was a Bearcat 210? Yep I'd say you are way overdue for a scanner upgrade... about 30 years overdue.

My post was an attempt at humor...I don't have a BCD536...which is why it cost nothing, is easy to program and has no static.

I'm guessing it doesn't get Edacs Provoice or Motobro, just like the more expensive scanners!

Cant believe you guys are having problems with your scanner ... this is the best scanner i have ever owned.

Sambeau,
I believe this thread was an attempt at some humor. Look at the dates. They are before any of those persons even received their scanners.

You are 100% correct that is the reason I started it.

Maybe this whole ongoing Uniden fiasco will be a valuable
but very expensive lesson to many.

Buying the latest-greatest, with no performance record
is rarely the best option.

It's a lot of money to pay to be a beta tester.

BTW: Many thanks to those who are impatient.
They often save me a great deal of grief.
