Hello,
I have recently got a BCD436HP. I am not happy with the poor reception and amount of programming needed. I don't get a lot of channels. I am looking for a all freq, upgrade antenna. Any suggestions on type & supplier in Ontario ( Kitchener area ).
Thank you

The first one requires a BNC adapter, the second has the SMA connector to screw directly to the 436. It works much better on most bands that the stock antenna.

The amount of programming is dictated by the complexity of the trunked radio systems now in common use, and advanced features like Location Control, that allow the scanner to automatically change what programmed channels it scans based on GPS location.

I have the first one linked with a BNC adapter. Works great. Even better with an external antenna, though.

If you switch antennas very often, get the BNC version so you can leave the adapter on the radio.

Comet HT-55 is a good multi-band

Diamond SRH-77CA is the best going! NO OTHER BETTER choice. "S" for SMA connector so order it on Amazon.com. You have a great handheld scanner but the stock antenna is USELESS!
