Just picked up the BCD536HP NOT the SDS200 and here is why.
1) The cost was NOT the biggest factor surprisingly, but it did play a small part.
2) I do NOT need the simulcast sensitivity. Not an issue now and the new P25 Phase II tower in my area is close by for the hard hits that any P25 Phase II unit can handle.
3) I even thought of picking up another BCD996P2, but I love the Sentinel interface and fell in love with it when I had my BCD436HP handheld.
4) I already have an SDS100 that I never leave in the car, so if simulcast is ever an issue I'm OK.
5) I don't care about the crappy BCD536HP display because I look at on my PC through ProScan anyway. I also plan to stream it on the home network.
6) and finally, the BCD536HP fits nicely in my rack DIN hole. I'll post pics later.
Keep Calm and COVID On.
