bcd436hp

Hello all, A few days ago my scanner died in the middle of the day when it typically can hold a charge from morning to the evening, so i figured it was time to get new batteries. after installing the new batteries, again the next day the radio died after only maybe 4 hours of use. I have not...

First post here, so hopefully I've picked the correct section. I picked up a Uniden BCD436HP a while back and absolutely love it. I've been using it with the factory rubber ducky antenna with little issues. Works perfectly when I go to racing events, works great when I'm in the city. The issue...

Hi. A newbie here with both a Whistler TRX1 and Uniden BCD436HP. The Whistler is easy stuff. I input my zip or city. I select my scan list (Law Dispatch). Boom, I get my city, adjacent cities, state police, etc. I try to accomplish the same thing on the 436HP but with much less success...

When listening to the p25 simulcast of warrick co. i have brief moments of dropped reception. i have tried everything from settting my delay time and moving it to manual. Still I get about half the tx. PLEASE HELP

Today I sold my Uniden BCD396T that I bought new in 2008 so that I could upgrade to a newer hand-held scanner either the Uniden BCD436HP or Whistler TRX-1. I want to monitor the Eastern Idaho Cooperative Agencies Wireless Interoperable Network (EICAWIN) and the Idaho Cooperative Agencies...

Morning all. I'm relatively new to the forums and I've done my best to search for the answer before posting this. If I've overlooked something, please forgive me and point me in the right direction. I have also checked Mark's Scanner manual, the factory manual, and Google to no avail. On the...

Hello All, I'm looking for a new handheld scanner. My current one is almost 15 years old and is falling apart. I'm currently debating between the Whistler TRX-1 and the Uniden BCD436HP.. and I'm not sure which one would be best for Southern California (specifically Los Angeles, Kern, San...

Recently I noticed some digital noise coming from my scanner which scans the local public services. All the public service departments in this small area still use basic analog radio communications with a few repeaters. My BCD436HP has the DMR upgrade and I started noticing just 2 days ago...

I have the local PD dispatch channel (VHF conventional P25) setup as the only priority channel. I have Priority Scan (not Priority DND) turned on, and it works as I want it to - no matter what, even if the scanner has stopped on another channel, if there is traffic on the PD dispatch channel...

NXDN? I have a 536 and I am looking to get a hand held to go with it. Much as I want to get the 436, it is really beginning to look to me like Uniden has abandoned NXDN altogether. Like they really just don't care. I may have to go with the Whistler. I don't want to, but Uniden is leaving...

Hi! I will try to make this post as short as possible. Back in December I bought two Uniden scanners, a BCD436HP and a HomePatrol 2. I’ve since been trying to get them to work with a local police P25 system. With the help of the BCD436HP (and the FCC website) I was able to identify...

Hi! Perhaps someone can help me. I'm new to digital trunking and just go the BCD436HP a few weeks ago and have not been able to program it. The RR and Sentinel databases are no good where I live, so I have to manually program the scanner. I found a few P25 control channels (8 so far), or...

I very recently got a Bcd436hp scanner. I'm barely hearing much, even on the citizens bands, but that's probably something I'm doing wrong. The screen however... Even with the contrast at the highest setting; unless I have a bright light directly on the screen, I can't read anything on...

Hi! First things first, I just started messing around with trunking, so total noob in this area. I bought a BCD436HP a few weeks ago, and I made a Custom Search, from frequencies 850Mhz to 868Mhz. I've noticed three different behaviors while searching: 1. On some frequencies, the...

I've programmed the Sentinel software with a Favorites List (to which I've assigned Favorites QK 1) that contains 6 systems in total. One of them is a P25 system to which I've assigned QK1. Four of them are Conventional to which I've assigned QKs 2, 3, 4 and 5. The last one is a Motorola System...

So.. I've played with my new BCD436HP scanner for about, maybe, a half hour so far. I'm coming from a Radio Shack pro-34 scanner, so you'll probably see me here asking questions over the next few weeks+ :) I installed the Sentinel software and plugged in my scanner with the mini-usb cable...

I used to scan Sedgwick County and Wichita on a Radio Shack Pro-97 before they went digital. In October I purchased a BCD436HP and think I have it set up correctly but feel like I'm missing alot of traffic. I've created a favorites list to whittle down the talk groups I'm monitoring...

Hi folks! Me again asking to the masters of radio! The thing goes like this...in my other post I was telling about getting a Uniden Bearcat BCD436HP and if I could be able to use it with out the "location based scanning" feature. Finally, the answer to that is YES, and the function is called...

Uniden BCD436HP or Whistler TRX-1? I'm in Nebraska. My last scanner was the Radio Shack Pro-34. Most of the buttons on it don't work and I haven't yet desoldered the board from the antenna connection to remove it and see if I can just clean the contacts or what.. But,... Considering my...

Lately my BCD436HP has been spontaneously rebooting, sometimes as often as every 5 minutes but usually only once an hour. It suddenly quits and goes through a boot-up cycle and starts scanning again, but it loses all the Avoids and the recording has to be restarted. If the cord is plugged in it...
