So.. I've played with my new BCD436HP scanner for about, maybe, a half hour so far.
I'm coming from a Radio Shack pro-34 scanner, so you'll probably see me here asking questions over the next few weeks+
I installed the Sentinel software and plugged in my scanner with the mini-usb cable included in the box with the scanner. I updated the firmware and the usa/canada databases.
Two questions here...
1. I bought the "Uniden USB-1 Scanner Radio PC Interface Cable" for about $30, If a standard mini-usb cable works.. Is this something I can return? Pretty expensive short usb cable
2. By buying the BCD436HP scanner, I essentially have a premium subscription to the RR database? Since, with the sentinel software, it will always download updates to the database from here to my scanner?
