Has anyone been through the DMR Upgrade process with the BCD436HP. Easy or difficult? Any pitfalls?

Thanks,

It's a very quick and simple process, only takes a few minutes.

First, be certain you have the latest version of the Sentinel software on your computer, and then be certain you have the latest firmware version in your scanner, then....

Register your scanner at my.uniden.com. Follow instructions there to purchase the digital key for the DMR upgrade. Enter the key through the scanner's menu system. Done.

Yup, was very easy. No issues at all. Make sure to save your key in a safe place, print it and also save it to your cloud, your phone, etc. I like to keep copies in multiple places.

Depends on where you live, but DMR was the most useful to me, NXDN doesn't see much use but I do have it, and Provoice is obsolete but some places still have it in use. The subway system near me still uses it but that's literally it, so I didn't bother getting that upgrade.To my knowledge a lot of trains are switching to using NXDN anyways

Have fun
