    “the joy is in the journey"
    4 Stars
    “the joy is in the journey"
    The BCD436HP is an up-to-date scanner capable of monitoring virtually all of the popular trunking systems in the US and Canada. You need to check the types of trunking systems in your area. Chances are high, that you will be able to receive them.The features of the radio are well documented at various sites on the Web, including [...] and [...]. So, my review is limited to what you commit yourself to, when you buy this scanner.This is not your father’s scanner. I still have a fully functional 40-year-old Bearcat 101, which was given to my father that many years ago. It was supposedly the first “fully synthesized” scanner, meaning, for the first time, you didn’t have to buy expensive crystals for each frequency you wanted to monitor. Instead, you “programmed” each of its 16 channels by converting the desired frequency into a binary representation using the channel switches. That was a step forward, but required an effort, unusual for its time, to familiarize yourself with the process.Figuring out how to set up the BCD436HP is a challenge, even for someone with some past experience and an intuitive sense about how it should operate. The multitude of functions and operating modes reveal themselves one by one as you systematically probe combinations of button presses.Part of the difficulty is the lack of clear, concise documentation for the beginner, both from Uniden and third-party sources. There is no “BCD436HP for Dummies.” In fairness, as a technical writer, with over 46 years of experience, I cannot say how I could organize and present it any better, though I have given it some considerable thought. I have found, as I became more familiar with the radio that the Uniden manual – all 93 pages of it – became more useful. You might want to print out a second copy just for your marginal notes.Forget megahertz. A large part of the difficulty is vocabulary, and you are initially confronted with terms such as favorites lists, systems, departments, and talk groups. Once you begin to get your head around the jargon, pieces of the puzzle will begin to fall in place, and you are on your way.Part of the Uniden inducement to buy this radio is that no programming is required. All you have to do is enter your zip code and the BCD436HP will program itself with all of the key stations in your area. What they say is true – in spades. If you live in any sizable metropolitan area, you are likely to be inundated with stations – many of which are either marginal to your area or are of no interest to you. You have to further limit and organize them into manageable groups. Simply put, monitoring too many active stations at the same time may prevent you from following a communication thread you are interested in.Like many state-of-the-art appliances, the BCD436HP plugs into your computer. Its firmware is periodically updated by Uniden and the massive database for the US and Canada are updated on a weekly basis by RadioReference.com. You will want to perform both of these updates soon after you take the radio out of the box.Updating is done with Uniden’s Sentinal software. Its features are somewhat limited, and construction of your favorites list will require further exploration and experimentation. Nevertheless, programming is easier using Sentinel than trying to do it on the radio’s keypad. There are third-party applications which purport to have more “Excel-like” operation.Just a word about power. The radio unavoidably draws considerable current. The manual says you can get up to 8 hours off of the three AA NiMH batteries. You cannot charge the batteries while the radio is turned on. I invested in a USB ac adapter, which I use most of the time. That way, I can leave the display illuminated all the time. An unilluminated display is a problem if you are trying to control the radio. You can also invest in an extra set of NiMH batteries and external charger.It’s not all about listening. For the BCD436HP, truly “the joy is in the journey.” In a way, it’s like a yo-yo. You will spend hours learning how to make it do tricks and get it to come back to you.Good luck, Editor Bob
