My personal opinion is that the new BCD536HP is one awesome scanner. Reception is excellent! I am using it on P25 multi-site system, 800MHz Motorola system, conventional, airband, etc. It is kicking tail on these 800 systems. Airband monitoring is good too. I'll need more time to get into the nuts and bolts of the radio but so far so good! I highly recommend. Any questions, I'd be glad to answer if I can. I'll do some videos at some point in the future and put them up on my site (linked in my signature as of this posting).
I love that the screen is large. I've been wanting a larger screen on these base/mobile scanners for a long time and Uniden came through. The record/replay feature is one of my favorites by far. And while listening to the recordings or playbacks it shows all the information on screen as if it was scanning (tones, frequencies, etc.).
The alert lights around the VFO knob is really cool and useful.
I like that I can tag the UID on the trunked system and at a glance know what unit is transmitting.
I can't wait for the Siren app to play with the WiFi feature.
I know there are several threads on here complaining about things. But from where I am sitting this is one high tech scanner. I'm not saying it doesn't have a glitch here or there. But nothing so bad that it renders it unusable. It is a very nice radio! Can't wait for the 436 to get here. I recommend this radio for those interested.
Here is a picture of the 536 on top of the BCD996T for your viewing pleasure. (note the pic makes it look like the screen is unevenly lit, but this is not the case. The screen backlight is even.)
