In this video, I share some basic knowledge and tips I have with using the Uniden BCD436HP scanner. I'm not an expert, but have been using it for a few years and have gotten some questions over the years about it, so I thought I would share some basic things I know about the scanner. Feel free to comment and ask me anything you want about this scanner and I will try my best to answer your question. I hope you enjoy!🎣

Push the function button (above the menu button) and then press down on the top knob (volume button). Twist the knob to change the setting.

I love mine, works great.

Your video sold me. I just ordered one. I need GSP, DeKalb, Fulton, everything.

@Never_Enough_Outdoors 5 месяцев назад

That's great. I know you will enjoy it. I don't think those are encrypted yet, but a lot around metro Atlanta are. Gwinnett is totally encrypted. All but school buses.

Cool video

Thanks!

@MrSierraRoad 2 месяца назад

Thank you for producing a great informative video. What 12 vdc power adapter would you recommend for this scanner?

@Never_Enough_Outdoors 2 месяца назад

It works on any USB plug so whatever you have should work fine. If your vehicle already has USB, use that. Any phone USB/cigarette lighter or standard AC plug-in charger will work as well.

This radio is top of the line i own the sds 100 but i perfer the 436hp got all the upgrades

@Never_Enough_Outdoors 2 года назад

I only have DMR but one day will get the others. I’ve heard pros and cons about each radio. I’m sure I’ll get the SDS100 eventually.

@LURKING323 Год назад

I might have to purchase this scanner here, my sds100 don’t pull much weight with DMR. Heard a lot of good things about this scanner regarding DMR..

@RoadkingNZ1 4 месяца назад

I sold my sds100 and got the 436. the sds was rubbish for analog

@doughboy1966 10 месяцев назад

EDITED I’m seriously looking for an indoor antenna that covers VHF and UHF frequencies that will receive analog and digital signals. I live in NE Texas in the 75460 zip code close to the Oklahoma border and there are many frequencies that I listen to but I’m limited on outside antennas as I have a electric service close on two sides of my house and neighbors trees on the other part of my house that I can’t cut down so that’s why I’m looking into a inside antenna. Thought about a discone antenna for the attic.

@Never_Enough_Outdoors 10 месяцев назад

This is the one I use in my rafters at the office. It works pretty good. Tram 1410 Scanner 25MHz-1,300MHz VHF/UHF Super Discone Base Antenna a.co/d/7IXJhr1

I have set this scanner up by using RU-vid, I think I have done everything correctly, But it never hits on and site, I hear nothing. Could it be the antenna? I have ordered a couple of new ones but they have not arrived. Should I be hearing some scans with the original antenna? I do hear the weather but that's all.

@Never_Enough_Outdoors Год назад

I’m not an expert and would suggest joining a scanner group on Facebook or asking this question on a forum at radioreference.com. There are a lot of possibilities for this reason, but I doubt the antenna is the issue, unless it’s bad or something. Have you tried using the built in frequencies? You also need to make sure the service type is turned on. This is a helpful online manual. new.marksscanners.com/536/436_536.shtml

@user-uu4xq8um3h Месяц назад

Can you do a barrel scan all of your channels and then just stopped on an active Channel? Then, when there's no noise on that channel and a restart scanning again through your the rest of your channels on the database of what you have programmed in or do you have to scan one department at a time

@Never_Enough_Outdoors Месяц назад

Yes , by entering frequencies manually or programming in a certain way, you can do that. Cannot do that using the built-in database.

@josesnyder840 10 месяцев назад

Very good for the most part, but one of the down sides of this radio is when you're listening to P25 systems, each user has a different volume level and can be REALLY ANNOYING to barely hear one unit and the dispatcher comes out at an ear r*pe level. No known fix to this as of 2023

@Never_Enough_Outdoors 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the info.

@jaredjordan4591 Год назад

How many frequencies/channels can the BCD436HP hold?

@Never_Enough_Outdoors Год назад

I'm not sure. I would assume it is endless, as long as your memory card can support it.

@joebaggs78 5 месяцев назад

My father had set up the scanner before he passed away, but whenever my local police channels come on, all the voice is scrambled. Every local police department. Do you know why this might be? The fire and EMS and other channels you can hear fine, it's just the police departments that are scrambled.

@Never_Enough_Outdoors 5 месяцев назад

Go ask in the forum at RadioReference.com. Someone will know. I would say it has to do something with encryption but the encryption I’m used to, you can’t hear at all.

@Chris05161967 10 месяцев назад

I have this scanner and, it does not do well with simulcasting.

@cmvb69 11 дней назад

How do you adjust squelch ???

@noahneutral7557 6 дней назад

If you press the green antenna button on the side and then press the knob on the top, you should be able to adjust the squelch.

@chriss7393 Год назад

Is this still worth getting in 2023?

@Never_Enough_Outdoors Год назад

Yes, for the money, it is still a good scanner. The only newer one Uniden has made is the SDS100. Both are better for different reasons. If I were getting a new one today and had neither, I'd go with the SDS100.

@donalderickson-si8ww 4 месяца назад

yes by zip code

@chuckmoore4600 2 года назад

I have one wouldn't buy again. A good scanner with 1 problem you can not have it on and charge at the same time. Basically you use it till the batteries run down and then it sits there like a rock till it charges or you put other batteries in it.

@Never_Enough_Outdoors 2 года назад

Couldn’t agree more with you on that issue.

@donalderickson-si8ww 4 месяца назад

did you know you need a permit to carry that in a car I charged my batterise on a charger my 436 did not puck cb. I have had 50 scanners in 50 years

@Never_Enough_Outdoors 4 месяца назад

I think that in some states a permit is required but not mine, unless something changed recently.

@RR-pw5nb Год назад

I will NEVER buy one of these again. These things are designed by some computer nerd that lives in his mom's basement. Spent almost $500 bucks on this piece of garbage and I can't get it to do a damned thing. I guess it was too much to ask to make it EASY to use? My 20+ year old Radio Shack scanner was at least EASY to use. The design of this thing seems to be to make it as complicated as possible. It's getting returned.

@Never_Enough_Outdoors Год назад

Sorry you had issues. I’ve never had any issues with mine.

@RR-pw5nb Год назад

@@Never_Enough_Outdoors What they NEED to do is make it EASY to use. I guess that was asking too much!

@West_Cascade_Rail Год назад

Seems like a skill issue

@RR-pw5nb Год назад

@@West_Cascade_Rail If it was a skill issue, they wouldn't need a programming service option. Bet they're making a fortune off of that.

@RR-pw5nb Год назад

@@michaela.6381 Did the zip code stuff..zilch. Once again, if it was operator error, they would need and wouldn't be making a fortune off of the programing service. The attraction to the technology is being able to USE it for what they say it will do. The rest of us have real lives, and don't have time to get a technology degree in order to program the thing. I'm sure there are technologies that you have no idea how to operate, yet you find them attractive. I couldn't care less about the "mystery" of something as long as it works.
