I don't own a Uniden BCD436HP scanner (sometimes I wish did for mobility) but anyway, the following questions have been asked by inquiring minds that I cannot give an answer to that is supported by facts and real hard data.
QUESTION #1: Has there ever been a period of time and/or certain production run(s) that the Uniden BCD436HP scanner was manufactured with a METAL stud on the rear of the scanner's housing for the belt clip as opposed to the plastic stud that is found on those scanners shipped more recently from say July 2022 onward?
QUESTION #2: Has there ever been a change in the plastic material composition used for the OEM (Factory Supplied) stud on the rear of the scanner's housing if the answer to Question #1 is negative?
QUESTION #3: Is there an aftermarket METAL stud (Uniden or Third-Party) that is form/fit/function identical to the OEM (Factory Supplied) plastic stud on the rear of the scanner's housing if the answer to Question #1 is negative (please provide Internet web addresses to those METAL studs for purchasing)?
In the name of configuration control, I'm going to "guess" that the answer to Questions #1 and #2 are both negative. For Question #3, I could not find an aftermarket stud although the inquiring minds have said that a METAL stud was spotted on the rear of the Uniden BCD436HP scanner's housing. The metal stud was not observed on a leather carry case or similar. The metal stud was on the rear of the scanner itself which prompted these questions in the first place.
Thanks in advance for your all's time and assistance! Dave
