Just curious for those that have the BCD436HP, if you monitor STARS with it, how well does it follow the system being a multi site system. I know the SDS100/200 follow it flawlessly but curious about the 436HP.

My 436 does it fine too!

Mine sometimes has difficulty receiving data from the control channel, but that's probably just my antenna. Other than that it does a pretty good job.
I turn off sites that are out of my area, which speeds up scan speed. I also "avoid" T/gs I am not interested in. Works fine where ever I go (turning sites on before traveling out of my area (Silver Spring). I can monitor the Chesapeake Bay bridge and Baltimore tunnels sometimes, from home on stock antenna.
Mine runs great as does my 996P2
Before I got my SDS, I programmed all control channels for STARS into one "system" on my 996P2... This way, I could have the STARS system set to a single quick key, and the scanner would automatically choose the strongest CC by itself. Worked like a charm. You should have no issue decoding and tracking it.
