Uniden BCD536HP Performance in Fort Worth Regional and TXDPS
Hello all RR members!
I have recently been upgrading my radio equipment (just purchased a new Yaesu FT1DR and I'm loving the integrated GPS for APRS or C4FM digital - isn't that also P25 Phase 1); needless to say I have been thinking of upgrading my months old, yes its true (I live in Denton County and we are still on analog for interop with Lewisville), therefore after reading so many of these pages in this thread - the question still remains will the new Uniden models from THEIR OWN HOMETOWN work correctly with decoding P25 Phase II and X2-TDMA because this is silly that working with Denton County Emergency Services and with our weird county lines and city borders its just a PITA. I cannot seem to get the BCD996XT (great scanner by all means, I may just keep it) but it will not pick up Fort Worth when I cross over IN DENTON COUNTY within the City of Fort Worth's mess at the Texas Motor Speedway and Alliance Airport (the new military airport as the Joint Reserve Base has been relegated to Lockheed testing and who knows what).
So my question is, does anyone have either (or preferably both) of the new Uniden models in use here in Dallas / Fort Worth? Do they work well in simulcast and please tell me would have or would be willing to make a quick YouTube of their performance from Alliance to Downtown and shoot, maybe even down to Burleson if you can. I personally don't give a HOOT about Wi-Fi (especially in a dongle - UPMan you should be ashamed, if Yaesu can fit a GPS sensor - likely a SIRF III or better in such a small package, you could have fit a Wireless N or BETTER YET, A BLUETOOTH ADAPTER SO WE COULD USE THESE WITH AD2P audio streaming to our cars).
Anyway, thanks again all - I'm going to go do some range reports and then most importantly - go SHOOT MY Bushmaster M4 in Burst and Full Auto at Frisco Gun Club! After all, a 420rd box of M193 55gr on 10rd strippers aren't but $200 and they go fast on auto. It's sure draws a crowd though, but we have to qualify for work each three months and Q4 just started...
Happy Scanning and DXING all RR members!
