Thank you sir for pointing out something extremely important to me (batteries) .. having access to easily and readily available batteries in a pinch is very important to me . I’ll keep my BCD436HP . Thank you
-
To activate the "key Lock" on the SDS100, press the function and power button at the same time...
-
Great to see an fellow Canadian post a review. Thanks Steve
-
I'll take the 436hp, can use AA batteries in a pinch and you can replace the rechargable batteries for much cheaper.
-
Steve: i have both scanners as well. The SDS100 is much better on simulcast than the 536. : run the sds100 in lower display, and you can lengthen battery life by increasing it to 3.50. Also while scanning set your squelch to turn off screen after 5 seconds. Also run the scanner in simple display mode. You can pick and choose whixh items you have on there. I get between 8-10 hours on the SDS, 5-8 On the 436. The size thing is a bit of a drag for sure thou

I was really torn between these two, but opted for the older and less expensive 436HP, since it's lighter and can run on AA bats. I should be getting it sometime today in the mail. Will add my thoughts after it arrives.

Hey Steve, I’m updating my 436 and I seem too remember you said in band defaults that the 108 to 136 was the wrong step ? What’s the correct step ? Thanks .
-
Maybe Anytone will come out with one for us. The SDS100 has too many faults IMO. No drop in charger is a huge fail
-
The SDS 100 keypad lock, is fixed. It can be done through a firmware upgrade
-
Can you help me. If it was this is device I can decode sepura st9000?
-
I had both and when comparing side by side, the 436HP is the better scanner. If simulcast is your main issue, go with the SDS100. The 436HP has better audio, and better sensitivity in VHF/UHF, will decode more DMR & NXDN channels, AA batteries are in every store, and can use just about any SMA antenna.
-
hoping you can answer me... the 436 scanner has a zip code button.. can i just put in my zip code number and it'll pick up whatevers in that zip and work out the box or it more complicated than that?..? im thinking of getting the 436 scanner but its not cheap...
-
Which has the better software?
-
Does the s100. Pick up other frequencies if your traveling to another city hours away.
-
I own 3 SDs 100 and ñow there's new update on the SDS 100 that you can lock in the SDS 100
-
Dear, can I ask you, the Uniden bcd436hp can be used in another country like Chile for example ?. Since I have seen in radioreference that the parameters to configure to be able to listen to the police here in this country come out but I want to know if it can be programmed and if it will be very difficult to do it. Could you please help me, I want to buy one of these equipment but I want to be sure and that the equipment does not end up as a paper trail. Cheers
-
Can you scan and charge with the SDS100? I see conflicting messages about this. The BCD436HP can't charge while scanning but it doesn't drain the batteries in that case.
-
Nice scanner love the screen You can could put the standard smaller capacity battery 🔋 back in scanner then it wouldn't be like a brick 😁
-
When you say not very good what do you mean? Does the scanner not perform well? Best scanner on the market for the last 3 or so years! Now the SDS200 best Scanner by far hands down! But anyway the sds100 is a great scanner! Thanks for the honest review mu friend much appreciated! I have both SDS100 and SDS200 ans love them they work wonderful bets scanners I have ever had! Good idea on the spare battery I have 3 lol!

ALSO TO NOTE I USE A POWER BANK ON BOTH THE SDS AND 436 LASTS LONGER PLUS THE 436 IS A SPINOFF OF THE 396 SERIES
