I am not completely satisfied with the 436 as some of you know. This is not my first rodeo and I find this a difficult radio to use. Better now than it was when it was shipped, but phew. Mine's even made a trip through Uniden service (which is fortunately just down the road).
I'll be interested in your experiences. The BCD436HP was the model I was looking at this morning when I read the news. With each passing day, I become less and less able to keep my tenuous grasp on the technology around me.
Updated Sentinel, updated firmware, bought and entered key to unlock ProVoice reception and ....
Nothing.
Turns out I can't actually get either Core or Wide Area sites from my desk at work.
I'll go outside later where I can get reception.
Peter: Assuming you don't work in a virtual Faraday cage, the dollars OKC sunk into the infrastructure for brand new tower sites, etc. sure don't seem to have gotten much bang for the buck. Just sayin'...
OMG, the whining over on the PV thread. You'd think Uniden had decided to ... I don't know, but holy crap are there a lot of stupid people on RR. Really stupid.
While my 15X is technically old school it works as far as the primary division radios on the OKWIN links. Is there an audio difference between the ProVoice upgrade vs. the link for say Hefner or does it sound the same thus eliminating the "need" to upgrade?
You won't believe the questions I get sometimes. Hams complain about the audio quality of my feed, yet they compare "those dongles" to toys, also don't understand why their 2m/70cm transceivers can't decode provoice.
Another feed provider has told me I'm "violating my terms of service" because there is overlap between our feeds.
Very frustrating at times.
Ok so technically you are not breaking the rules.
but overlapping feeds is a no no
you put Bethany, Warr Acres that is fine.
But if I have a dedicated OKC PD only feed you should not stream that.
