So I have been torn on the 436 and 536. Then I decided for sure I wanted the 436. Because of the form factor of grab and go. I had a 396XT to hold me over and I loved the grab and go factor. However, I hated the extra processes to do menu functions. With the 15X, I had the radio under the seat in the car and a remote head upfront, it was perfect. I also loved the controls of the 15x without the remote head. I returned the 396xt because, one I didn't like the layout and couldn't get used to them. I also returned it because everywhere I go, is Phase 2. I go to Maryland a decent amount of times each year and where I go, the county is Phase 2.
So I am back to deciding between the 436 and 536.
For those who ONLY have a 436 and it's your primary scanner and it sits on a desk how is it? Grab and go factor in the car I get. (I am kind of blah about having to buy an amplified speaker in the car. Instead of connecting a regular speaker). How do you like it as your primary speaker.
I am leaning about towards the 536 because by the time I get it (June), the Wifi should hopefully work and I'll use the app to control it and it'll be similar to the 15x with the remote head. I wont mind carrying it from inside and to the car and whatnot.
For those that chose the 536 over the 436 and it's your primary scanner how do you like it? I am not interested in the war about the wifi. I am not too concerned about it, since for me, I think it would be there when I buy it.
I am a little put off with the price, but I am hoping that maybe I'll find it cheaper come June. I can't buy both so I can only pick one and go from there. Maybe later I'll pick up the 436.
