Hello, Scanners! I want to ask the scanning community for input on which scanner I should by for my needs.
I had a Whistler TRX-1 for while in the past but sold it to fund other hobbies so I am quite familiar with the user interface. While looking around, I stumbled upon the Uniden BC436HP. So now that it has come time to invest in a scanner once again, which one should I go for?
My needs/criteria (these are things that I know the TRX-1 can do, so this is actually me wanting to know if the Uniden can do the same)
Needs to be able to:
-decode/ track/ receive as many frequencies and system types as possible. (I am aware of Uniden paid upgrades, so assume all are applied on the scanner in question)
-record scanned transmissions
-perform a service search
-record service searches
-decode CTCSS/DCS tones.
The display needs to have as much information as possible. PL/DPL tones, TG ID, Radio ID, etc.
How do the UIs compare to each other? Which hardware has better RX capability?
Thank you
