Not complaining but I have the SIREN application working with my Android device and have tested both the AP and Infrastructure modes. Took me less that 15 minutes to set up and test both.
The receivers are far from hot. There is a problem with UHF, and VHF reception that we have found a band aid fix for, and Uniden is burying their heads in the sand and will not admit it's an issue. http://forums.radioreference.com/uniden-tech-support/337172-436-how-improve-your-uhf-reception.html
Uniden has still lied about the advanced analysis features. Uniden's deception and lack of addressing issues, is the main concern. You cannot do analysis with these radios. They don't even have IF or control channel output. I for one would have stayed away from any HP model, but the promise of portable advanced analysis features without the need of a computer, was enough to change my mind. You cannot see the frequency on trunked systems.
Yes, Uniden did eventually fix the display and RTC issues. As they should.
The shame of it is that the 436 really had the potential to be the best thing out there.
Uniden's lack of honesty, in addressing the remainder of the issues is the problem.

I could get 28-32 miles on U/VHF and am getting that on my 536. I'm in the mountains of NC so I consider that a win considering I've got just a Radioshack 800mhz antenna.

Most people who have been critical of Uniden have been critical over the issues they have, not as a whole.
Amazon has a lot of used 436's and 536's at Amazon Warehouse........Only 1 used WS1040, no TRX-1 or 2's at the warehouse.
