Richard, I found on RR a page “Nothing to Scan” with a list of items to look at. I believe my problem is with the “Profile edit”. Now that I have the correct settings, I will try again. I will get bac

Uniden’s Sentinel and Butel’s ARC536PRO are the two I use. But neither with any real success. And because the ARC536PRO is not a stand-alone programmer (it needs to be used in conjunction with Sentine

It's been a couple of years since I created my FL's or used the Sentinel software. (Occasionally I would update the database but that's about it.) So, when I decided to do some file housecleaning, and

Thanks for the info. As I don't have any "marginal" UHF systems I care to listen to, the "copper foil fix" was done on a whim. I had to find a weak UHF system in order to try it. And I did see marked

Maggie, What I write below DOES NOT APPLY to what Joe M. has posted about the initial 50 hour charging procedure for charging up the internal clock battery. Please adhere to the process he outlines fo

Wondering if anyone has, after upgrading to the new firmware, re-tested the scanner with and without the copper foil... the suggested addition which we affixed to the inside of the battery cover to im

Thanks guys... Joe M.- I'm using NiMH. My main question has to do with setting the "Set Battery Low" > "Set Voltage" option. My guess is the scanner will run longer if I stay to the lowest setting of

Thanks. Blew right by it in the manual!

I see "Battery Save", "Set Charge Time" and "Set Battery Low" listed in the menu under Settings>Battery Options. What should these 3 settings be set to? If it's in the manual, I missed it. Bill

Thanks Joe, I figured I would end up replacing the card but it doesn't hurt to get concurrence for my piece of mind. I already had re-seated the card with no change, and it would not allow formatting.

The BCD436HP is showing in the display window "SD Card Read Error". I am not able to boot it up to do anything with the card while its on board the radio. Should I remove it and plug it into the compu

A follow-on suggestion that needs to be considered... in the case of those instances where Joe M. has noted a slow down of the scanning process... would creating other FL's (probably numerous) for tho

Thanks Bob, I had all settings correct. Then I went back to square one and started with a clean slate. After I had loaded the latest firmware that was released just about a week ago, all is well on th

Update. I don't recall sending a picture of the last thing I was sent but if I didn't, it was a full case cover, just the front side, with the sticky back tape cut in four separate strips and applied

The cost of the display window is very reasonable. I don't remember exactly but I want to say under $5 each. A quick call to the parts department will get the exact price. It's also a good idea to ord

This post relates to how and what to order when you wish to replace the display window on your BCD436HP. First, some background... I ordered two new replacement display windows to have on hand, the fi

I have no interest in prioritizing a trunked talk group. It's conventional that I'm after.

Well, regardless of where I set all setting, I'm not getting the PRI to work. I have not tried it on a trunked system yet-don't have any interest in prioritizing any of my trunked stuff. The manual do

Ok. That's what I'm trying to control. But it shows 3 settings. If it only controls conventional then why two other settings? It should only be one other setting... Off (or Trunked, the default settin
