Reviews around choice (5.00 of 5)

  • Uniden!I picked up a Whistler TRX-2 about 2 weeks ago and can say the BCD536HP was the better choice thus far.
  • If you are planning on going mobile, the TRX-2 would be the more appropriate choice for digital scanner radio.

Reviews around unit (3.86 of 5)

  • nice unit,but it has problems.loves to give error messages.using a sd card to run from has big limits.if not inserted correctly,scanner will not scan.if scanner loses power.you will get a error message if the scanner cannot start.every time it is turned on,it must go through a booting setup.uniden scanners do not have this problem.it is nice that you do not need any new programs for it.but if i had a chance to test it
  • improves the removable unit as a turn on switch.instead of a push on contact.i will get just that from
  • nice unit easy to program after getting use to the softwarenice well lit display (buttons not so much)buttons are a little stiff.

Reviews around radio (3.02 of 5)

  • It's an annoying radio to operate compared to the Uniden, even the new BCD436HP I picked up recently.
  • I'm very pleased with the performance, the included programming software and especially the continued firmware upgrade process that will keep this radio fresh for years
  • This has been such a bothersome radio in general operation and so glad it's gone!
  • I purchased this radio to receive NXDN, and after the firmware upgrade, to allow decoding, NXDN reception works well
  • This has been such a bothersome radio in general operation and so glad it's gone!
