With this county (and apparently everybody else around here) now going to 700 MHz Project 25 TRS for Fire & EMS, what's the chances of somebody will be putting out a low cost scanner with just that, when that's all I'll need?
@KC1UA a little pricey at $260
If your car radio has an auxiliary input jack, you can jumper from the earphone jack on the 436 to that and the radio will make it loud enough to hear. If not, Uniden sells an amplified speaker that works pretty well.I should mention that it's just going in the car.
I've been using my 436, but it doesn't have an external speaker jack for rolling with the windows down.
I offered it as an option.
You can use the aux input on your car sound system or the Uniden BC23A amplified speaker.I've been using my 436, but it doesn't have an external speaker jack for rolling with the windows down.
But probably NOT an option for new systems going in, which are mostly P25 Phase 2. Not all, but most.

Not a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles when all you need is to listen to the local fire band in your car.Unfortunately 'low cost' and 'good quality' are mutually exclusive.
I can, but then I won't have my tunes.Very little chance I think, maybe find a way to hook up your 436 to the car audio system.
