I just got a BCD436HP and it's receiving everything but my local Joplin PD (which is totally why I bought it, so I could hear them).
The firmware version that my radio now shows is 1.01.01. When I was talking to Uniden Tech Support earlier today, they told me there are two firmware releases, and suggested I try and update mine so everything can be ruled out as to why I'm receiving my local Joplin Fire but not PD (someone on another board says there's only one firmware release for the 436 however). From everything they see there at Uniden, there's no reason I shouldn't be receiving my local PD, yet I'm not. From what they can tell about the local system and the radio capabilities, I should be receiving them. They even said that if this doesn't work that I may have to send it in for a replacement 436. In the meantime, I'll have to wait until Monday before I can talk to them again. Inside the settings, I do have it set to receive the law groups too.
It will scan normally, but when it stops on my local Joplin PD, it'll just stop there for a couple/few seconds but I don't hear any sound, then it will continue scanning...
Anyone have any ideas before I have to send it in for a replacement?
Does anyone else (if you're in the area) have any problem receiving Joplin PD?
