bcd536hp

Firmware 1.06.10 -- I have only one favorite list so far, St. Louis County's new P25 system. When scanner powers up, I get "Nothing to scan message." I have to through menus to un-avoid this system every time. Ideas?

Having just purchased a BCD436HP, and anticipating buying a BCD536HP sometime later, I believe that I want the ARC536 software for building and managing favorite lists. The following warning on BuTel's website raises several questions for me: "Important Information: because of issues with the...

I got tired of waiting for Uniden to release their app, so I created my own. Right now it works on windows and provides some remote control and display of the scanner over WiFi. I set it up to be used on a Winbook, which is a small 8" tablet suitable for mounting in your car. I got the 32GB...

Not much else to say. After the scanner had been sitting there happily scanning along with the OEM power supply and SD card, it rebooted all by itself, and now is stuck rebooting in a loop. It loads the FLs, then beeps, then the screen goes dark, repeat. I've tried: - a different power supply...

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a Uniden BCD536HP and have enjoyed getting back into scanning. I have been out of the game during all of the rebanding and P25 conversion, so hopefully I am just overlooking something. As some of you probably know, the 536 has the Home Patrol database that...

Tone-Out is of no use in the UK as the system is simply not used. I have checked that both tones on all 32 tone-out channels are set to 0. Yet the scanner constantly brings up a Tone-Out screen whenever I switch CloseCall on or off [Function Squelch]. The manual explains how to set tones up but...

It seems that when I review my discovery certain frequency shut's down my Uniden 536HP. I wanted to hear 134.100mhz aircraft and it shut down my scanner. Has anyone else had the scanner shut down during review?

Currently I am using a cheap window mount antenna from RadioShack. I am looking to upgrade to a better antenna for my vehicle. Any suggestions??

I'm trying to use Pro Scan and when I select a com port the only comport available is 3. And get "No Response" I have done the following. 1. Used Serial to USB and get an error message code 10 and other codes that it does not work. 2. I tried using the front port. Used the wire it came with...

Hello All, Having some recording issues with my BCD536HP. I use it to record scanner audio to the SD card for later review. When listening to it live, the audio is fine, but when I go back to the recordings, the first second or two are clipped off of most files. Here are some examples...

I saw another posting on this Uniden forum where a user created an infrared remote control for his BCD536HP scanner. I thought that was a cool idea so I built my own. I posted a video of the design on Youtube if you are interested: https://youtu.be/luPVvZm59rI This little hacker project is...

Can anyone break down the main difference between the 536HP and this new 996P2? Is the main difference only the lack of WiFi dongle and access to the Home Patrol data base? Can anyone shed some light on the programming process? Will it be as easy to program as the former 996T & 996XT with...

I have tried several times to hear my local police and fire dept. to no avail. I am sure that they are using NXDN but all I hear is the control channel noise. Am I doing something wrong or am I wrong in assuming this scanner should pick up the frequencies?

A little background before I ask my questions, if you'll indulge me. I am not new to analog scanning having had a Radio Shack PRO-43 Hyperscan Scanner for years. However, I sprang for a BCD536HP this Summer. Frankly, I've barely scratched the surface of the multitude of features on this...

I promise I've poured over the manual and I have lurked in the thread for days. Yes, I know where the search button is. I have my database ready and the scanner is working fine. But it seems a critical function is missing or I'm just missing something. While scanning, I want to be able to...

This might be a stupid question, but I cannot seem to find the answer in the manual. How can I add a single system from the full data base to a favorites list? It seems that only option is to transfer the complete data base. BTW, I understand how to do this using the Sentinel software, but I...

I am considering upgrading to the Uniden BCD536HP and would like to know how well it is working in the Toronto-Barrie area. Can you enter the Canadian mail codes or just American zip codes to set it up for scanning your area ? Thanks Russ

Is there a way to broadcast AlphaTags in ScannerCast using a Uniden BCD536HP?? I've downloaded the serial port files, rebooted my computer, even set the scanner in serial mode & set the Tag setting at the 996XT choice, even saw something about Windows Device Manager up checking the UBS root hub...

When using 3-Line Display mode it shows a bigger don't in the pic I've attached... However when you enable Display Unit ID's & 3-line mode the display text on the bottom gets smaller due to the TalkGroup ID# & Service Type. Is there any way to get rid of the TalkGroup ID & Service Type so the...

I am wanting to use a client to access the ARC536 control/logging feature over a network. I am using the BCD436HP, so direct WiFi control is not going to be an option. Does anybody know if this software is capable of doing this? I am so used to Don Starr's Win500 and the protocols behind it, but...
