    SDS100 Prerelease Discussion

    molded silicone case would be a very welcomed accessory for this and the 436HP. Looking forward to reviews of the SDS100 soon. I am surrounded by simulcast systems.

    BCT15X: Bct15x interval search!

    Are you referring to how often a priority channel is checked? I don't use it at all. I find it very annoying, but that is just me. If you are trying to address some sort of difficulty you are having, a description of the issue might solicit some help. It will depend a lot on how important the...

    BCD436HP/BCD536HP: Will we ever be able to buy a keypad for the BCD436HP ?

    I actually tried clear nail polish on the keys. Also tried the gel nail polish. Both peeled off during use. It would not stick well to the keys. I have several radios with lettered keys. Some of them have not worn off at all, and some wore very little. All these radios have had heavy...

    BCD996P2 Background Noise

    The attenuator very well could kill the entire signal, but if the desired signal is strong enough it may come through. I would love to know what resistors could be changed out for the BCD436HP to have the built in attenuator be 6dB instead of 20dB. 20db is pretty much a useless value.

    BCD996P2 Background Noise

    Intermodulation interference? With an antenna that is going to provide more signal than one that is indoor and connected at the radio, there may be strong signals at the antenna input that are mixing in the receiver causing distortion. Have you tried the attenuator function on those...

    BCD436HP/BCD536HP: BCD436HP protective case?

    I have the Scanner Master leather case. It is very rugged and protects very well. The case is stamped with "Case Guys". A search found them here and they make a lot of radio cases. Case Guys™ - AW Enterprises You can't buy the BCD436HP case directly from them. It adds a good bit of...

    CMPD on Mobile Scanner

    I have setup a Yagi indoors to solve the simulcast issue in Rowan County. I receive one site full scale and transmissions are clear with 0 BER, or very close to it all the time. There are some really cheap 760 MHz ones on eBay right now, but supply is getting low The one I bought is 12dBi...

    Alternative antennas for BCD436HP?

    The Remtronix antenna works well on 118 MHz and up. Very surprised at how well it works. I have used the RS version for over 10 years. One has stayed on my BCD396XT and now my BCD436HP all the time, and I never needed anything else portable. I have tried several others and always came back...

    BCD436HP/BCD536HP: Uniden Repair Service Questions

    Agree. Complete board replacement. That PCB is damaged beyond repair. The question to ask will be, if the repair requires the circuit board to be replaced, is that covered in the flat fee for repair. If so, well worth the price to repair which I think I saw was $79.95. The only issue that...

    Whats up with the bad launguage

    Always best to just ignore them. People like that are always looking for an audience. They are missing something in their lives that causes them to seek attention. Let them get caught doing something that violates other rules. It is unfortunate that first amendment rights have been extended...

    BC246T: Burst of white noise

    Looks like they are simulcast with that new P25 Phase II system. Maybe it is encryption, depending how the simulcast is fed to the old analog VHF channel. Maybe it is another agency somewhere. Try using tone squelch if you are not already. RR database shows 203.5 Hz PL.

    BC365CRS: What does CRS stand for?

    Yep. For some reason, Uniden has assumed that anything above 380 MHz is for trunked systems, therefore not needed on a non-trunk tracker. The same happened with the BC125AT. However, MILAIR comms still occur from 380 to 400, and Intra Squad Radios operate there too. And probably more I am not...

    BC365CRS: What does CRS stand for?

    Is the display illuminated with surface mount LEDs? I would prefer a brighter amber. Maybe when mine is out of warranty, I would consider replacing the LEDs if that is what is used. Mine was manufactured this year and does not have the RF noise issue. I expect it has C1. Do you know if...

    Analog or Digital for monitoring

    Meticulously watch Amazon everyday, or for that matter, every hour. Earlier this year they hade new BCD436HP as low as $322. I hesitated, but got one for $340 back in July. That sale was one day only. These were sold by Amazon, not another seller on Amazon. If you watch persistently, you may...

    I can't find the map of Viper Sites. I seem to recall it was a Google map with the sites pinned on it. I thought there was a link to it somewhere, but now I can't find it.

    BCD436HP/BCD536HP: Will we ever be able to buy a keypad for the BCD436HP ?

    Didn't find this thread last week https://forums.radioreference.com/uniden-tech-support/300535-436-keyboard-wear.html Else I would have replied to it about the BCD436HP keypads. I wish I knew how we could get Uniden to make these available. Had I known this was going to happen, I would...
