i am leaving today on the anthem of seas. i am taking my bcd436hp. i will let everyone about what frequencies they use.
Good luck. I couldn't get mine past security.
most of the most comms on the ship are on 457.550 dmr TG 1 Color Code 11
I have now resolved another issue. Apparently when the BCD436HP scans through a group of channels which includes channels marked as not being DMR, it does not have enough time to switch to DMR mode when activity pops up on a DMR channel.
So for example, I can scan 20 channels that are all marked DMR and 80%+ of the activity will decode, however if I scan 20 channels, and 3 of them are marked not DMR, then while the scanner will stop at all the DMR activity, it will only decode it 50% of the time or sometimes much less than that.
So there you go. The "secrets" to scanning on Anthem of the Seas is to only program in your DMR channels, and mark them as DMR only through the Uniden software (havent figured out if it is possible directly on the scanner). Be sure NOT to program the channels as MotoTRBO as then the BCD436HP will try to scan them as a part of a trunking system, which they do not appear to be.
