bcd436hp

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...

Hi everybody, I currently live in an area that's covered by an analog and Provoice hybrid EDACS system. They have two analog dispatch talkgroups for sections of the county, and there's a two-tone decoder wired to a control station at every firehouse. It works pretty nicely for them. So, I...

I had (have) a Realistic Pro-37 handheld scanner. It hasn't worked for a long while. The buttons stopped working and to get it apart to clean the guts, I would have to desolder the antenna connector which I never got around to doing. Last year, for Christmas, I got a Bearcat BC346XT (I think...

Hello all. I'm having problems trying to use my BCD436HP scanner to monitor DMR transmissions that are being originated from Hytera portables. These Hytera DMR transmissions are digital and in simplex mode. I programmed these Hytera portables myself and I know what the frequency is supposed...

Hi all, Is anyone in the Columbus area picking up any other talkgroups for Columbus Fire on MARCS-IP besides the automated dispatch channel? I'm using a BCD436HP and I'm in the city limits. I'm picking up the Automated Dispatch talkgroup fine (TG57002) but absolutely no other traffic on any of...

Hello! So the world conservation congress is being held in Waikiki, Hawai'i and is going to have $4M worth of security to protect all of the dignitaries that will be convening in Waikiki on September 1 through the 10th. I was wondering if anyone has information on the security Communications...

I am having difficulty receiving DMR and was wondering if I have a simple setting that may be preventing reception. I've imported the frequencies and enabled Custom 1 but still don't get any hits. Any suggestions?

Can ARC536 be used to program a ProVoice system into the BCD436HP? I’ve installed the ProVoice upgrade to the scanner and have the latest version of ACR536. I couldn’t find an option in the software for ProVoice. Thank you.
