I am hoping that I am not breaking a rule by posting here, but I couldn't find a place to say Hi, new to the forum and am sure I will have some crazy questions about this hobby.

I am buying a Uniden BCD536HP digital scanner and have a lot to learn.

At any rate if I have erred in posting here please straighten me out. Thanks

David, which county do you live in, and which counties are you looking to listen to?

I live near the west edge of Whitley, so I am assuming that I will be able to receive Kos, Whitley, Allen, Huntington, maybe Noble, maybe Wabash.

To start I am going to use the antenna that came with the scanner, Uniden BDC536HP then I have an old discone antenna for my tv mast.

It has 3 ground plane bottom elements and 1 vertical the 2 more about 30 degrees off vertical from that. Old stuff. So what you can make of that all help to get started would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks
Gar

Welcome! You've found the right place. If you have questions I'm sure one of us has answers. Feel free to ask.

Thanks for the welcome, I wasn't sure, I seen no welcome threads so I gave it a swing.

This 536 scanner is gonna be a handful for me but I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun.

If there's a thread that can guide me thru initial upgrade/startup on this scanner it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Gar

Sounds like a BCD536HP is perfect for your area. No simulcasts except for Allen County, but unfortunately all Allen County public safety is encrypted.
