A great scanner after mastering the learning curve.
After using a Home Patrol 1 scanner, I was thrilled at the idea of a "zip code" hand held scanner. When my Radio Shack PRO 96 died, I purchased the BCD436HP. Simple to program to get started, I figured out the basic steps by just skimming through the book. Nice audio and great coverage when set to wide range especially. It takes a while to get the "too noisy" stations all locked out from slightly out of my interest area. Next plan is to learn the tricks to setting up my preferred channels to limit some of the unwanted things within each system chosen. Only draw backs I find are: 1. battery life is low. The 2300 ma batteries supplied are next to worthless and replacing them with Duracell rechargables at 2500 ma helps but still a battery sucker. 2. the useless belt clip and 3. it is too easy to keep hitting the side bar that sends it to program mode. Locking the keypad is a pain to keep turning on and off, easier to just get in the habit of holding it different from usual handhelds. Overall, a winner. Was ready to send it back until I got to playing with it. Give it time and patience and you'll be glad you bought it.Read full review

Uniden BCD436hp scanner review
This. I'd by fat one of the best police scanner I've ever Gotten. It's a little tricky at first but when you get the hang of it . Really easy to use all you do is enter in your Zip code and select your country and Boom!!! The scanner automatically start finding local police Fire Ems. And much more through the database and when it's done searching it automatically starts scanning you don't Needs computer or nothing but you will need it, to upgrade the scanner and to also update the SD Card Really simple and Easy. THAT'S IT.Read full review

Great Scanner BC436
Ordered this to replace my BC396XT which was stolen. It took a few days to get the programming down, but it has been working great. Works very good on P25 Phase II systems without distortion. Highley recommends this scanner. Programming may be a small issue for someone new to scanning. Also got unit at a great price.Read full review

Easy to use, but full featured scanner, I love it!
This works right out of the box after entering my zipcode, i love this scanner's ease of use and from what i gather it has complex features if you want to delve into learning them. I feel it was a good purchase and am still happy with it.Read full review

Nice
Very nice scanner. I have the basics down so far. I need to set aside some time to get accustomed to the full function of this scanner. It would be great if the battery could charge while using.

programming is tough..but better than other brands
I love this scanner. Learning to program was a nightmare, but once I figured it out, i really like it.

Bad buy....
Why would a scanner that costs over $400, not have an AC output?????? If I had read that detail more closely, I would have never purchased it. The batteries are 3 x AA, and last for about 11/2 hours. I would not mind this, if I had the option to plug the unit in. This is a do not buy!!!!!!!!!!Read full review
