I may buy it as I missed out on the chance to get a PSR800. Just hope there's a way to lose the useless database it comes with and do my own. I'll use the wifi feature about as often as I use Facebook- that is to say, never.

As an aside, I love some of the comments floating around the web. A brand new radio that does Phase 2 and X2, and these guys are whinging about the lack of decoding for TRBO and NXDN...2 proprietary standards, and every TRBO system I've ever used utilizes encryption. But that's okay, if a new scanner came out that did every standard under the sun, including OpenSky and MPT1327, someone would whine that they didn't like the battery connector or the display color or something.

Surprisingly, Uniden seems to be aware of that problem:

Just another aside. Ya gotta love how everyone has to wait until "possibly the first week of February" for their pre-ordered Unidens, even those that paid for them more than a few months ago. Meanwhile, loosely defined "database administrators" over there are getting theirs ASAP.

No favoritism, product placement or cronyism to see here, sheep! Just send Scannermaster your $600 and you'll be the first kid on your block to get one...sometime.

I was kind of excited about them but I think I'll wait until after the first few months... let them work out the bugs first...

Monitoring KCMT voice traffic isn't very exciting...

Not true, not sure where you get your info from Wil, but the discount is less then thirty bucks, and no one there has got a BCD536HP as they don't go on sale till 24Jan14 and will not ship before that date, I did pony up and buy one, still looks like I got bent over for a bit more then $600.

Let's get a beer sometime.

P.S. if you want one at that price, let me know I will get you one,

Owen not sure where YOU got your info from but the 536HP has been shipping for quite some time now... Universal shipped a bunch today and another batch tomorrow... there are videos on YouTube of users that have it in hand. :)

Well the site that Will was talking about the ship date is the Th, be that I am old and well into my 70's, I thought for sure the date was the Th. Hum I guess i should look around some.Thanks nicks, I sure hope that I did not ripped off

Ken you old fart are you over here causing trouble again? :D

Sorry Jim, It is not what I want, ....I guess I just come off the worng way, and for that I am sorry. I am a old fart. so my kids tell me. its dad do this and that. heck I know what I want to do. heck, just look around. sorry that I make the young one's, get upset.

I didn't say a word about a discount, merely that I don't approve of the RR "admins" getting the 536HP before anyone else.

Go to the other board, look in the "Uniden Scanners" forum, under the "BCD536HP Discussion Thread". UPMAN posted on 01/14/14 at 1:51pm:

Hey, Jim next week I am getting a new cain..... next week one with lighting bolts on it, Now the will call me fast old fart is that funny or what.

Partially right; TRBO is based on the DMR spec, which is an open digital radio standard for professional mobile radio (PMR) users. Customized, so not completely interoperable but easily reverse engineered. NXDN is most definitely an Icom/Kenwood thing.TRBO only has 256 encryption keys. With a couple of hours of traffic you could figure it out. No OTAR, so you either live with it or touch every radio often. It's global per radio (not zone, not channel) and user-toggleable. Here's a screenshot of CPS:



And here's what the docs have to say when you enable it per-channel:

Nah, it'll be this:

LightningBolt

We'll need to start calling Ken "WonderBoy" in that case.
