Can I run my BCD436HP scanner full time with an AC adapter without damaging the radio. If so, what adapter would you recommend?
Yes, of course.Can I run my BCD436HP scanner full time with an AC adapter without damaging the radio. If so, what adapter would you recommend?
Not in most cases. It depends on the antenna you're using. If you're using an outdoor antenna (a logical thing if you're running the scanner 24x7 on external power) the power source makes zero difference to sensitivity.Yes, of course.
There is just an issue: the sensitivity of the Close Call Capture mode will be decreased.
I run my 436 24 h/day on rechargeable batteries power only, because of that.
