The 536HP would be better for that sounds like
Scanner recommendations between Uniden and Whistler

As far as the built in Wi-Fi / Ethernet, yes. Some may say that the 996P2 is a better receiver. I have no opinion on that.
I'm stuck between choosing the 996P2 and 536HP
Some (not me) may say to buy both of them on Amazon and return the one that doesn't meet your needs.
I never had a Uniden scanner all of mine are RadioShack

They're really good scanners. I like them better than other brands I've used or programmed. But everyone's opinions and needs are different.
Coming from the GRE/Radio Shack/Whistler world to Uniden, some may find the programming method difficult or at least not what they are used to. I think the Uniden way of programming makes perfect sense and is easy to program. The same can be said of coming from the Uniden world to the GRE/Radio Shack/Whistler line of scanners.
Just remember that the later model RadioShack scanners, such as the Pro-96/2096, and the later object oriented scanners starting with the Pro-106 & Pro-197, were made by GRE (and the follow on versions were GRE designs produced by Whistler, but labeled for Radio Shack). But some of the R/S units before those were produced by Uniden, but labeled with RadioShack model numbers.
