I recently bought a bcd536hp brand new in box for $60.00 from a store that sells returned and overstocked items from Wal-Mart, target, best buy etc. I want to know of the best deals you have gotten on these 2 yypes of scanners!
What is the cheapest bcd436hp/536hp you have purchased

The best price I have caught has been on Amazon last year before Christmas. $395.98 new for a BCD536HP and $351.20 new for a BCD436HP. Far from $60. That is a great deal for even a used radio. What is your source? Or were you planning on keeping that secret and just gloating.

Right now Amazon prices are BCD536HP - $478.28 and the BCD436HP - $405.00. Seems to be going lower day by day.

$324 for a new BCD436HP from Walmart on 6/28/17. Walmart had a $162 discount for store pickup.

Got a near-new 436 with the DMR upgrade from a pawnshop in Reno NV last week for $175.00
I'm pretty sure the guy didn't know what he had.

Bought a 536 from a guy a couple ears ago for $285. It was only used a couple months and was like new. It was a nice Craigslist find.
I live about 1000 feet from a pager/cell tower, and have a ST-2 30 feet up with a clear line of sight to the tower, and have zero issues with overload with my 536 or my 436 when I connect it to the ST-2. Either you have a defective unit, or some other issue, such as intemod generated from corroded antenna/coax connections. The 536 is one of the more overload-resistant receivers out there, at least when it comes to scanners.
I've bought cars for less than that.

$800 ?
Maybe...if you live outside of the US. Otherwise, you got rooked, dude.
Some locations are so RF saturated that even the commercial equipment at the sites where this RF emits needs "extra filtering" And sometimes that doesn't always work, as thermal transmitter and power supply wideband noise can't always be filtered. But as "wide open front end" scanners go, Uniden has improved greatly. So has Whistler on the TRX series. If you know what is nailing your scanners, filtering it out with external RF filter solutions is sometimes the only thing that will solve extreme issues in dense RF areas.

For $800, you would think it came with an FM filter. Something wrong here.

I paid $400 when I got mine about 2 years ago. ☺
