If you're like me and have limited time to read reviews, let me sum this product up for you: 1. It is plug & play. Enter your zip code and it knows what frequencies to scan in your area. Game on! 2. If you travel, buy the Uniden-brand GPS unit available on desertcart (Uniden BC-GPSK Serial GPS Receiver for Scanner and Marine Products). The reason to buy the Uniden unit is A) As you travel, the GPS feeds your location into the scanner and the scanner updates the frequencies it is scanning to those near you and B) because it is also plug & play. Mine arrived with the necessary cords to plug directly into the scanner, and it worked from that moment. Perfect! 3. You can connect the scanner to your PC to update the firmware and the frequency database from Uniden. It is easy. No need to buy a third-party web database. Uniden regularly updates their database. I purchased my unit in 9/2014 and used it nine months before performing updates. It works fine out of the box. 4. The scanner has two batteries, a main battery for scanning and a secondary battery for the clock. Charge the main battery first, then turn on the scanner to charge the secondary battery. Oddly, the clock battery charges when the unit is on. 5. On trips, an external antenna will extend your range. I purchased a magnetic mount antenna on desertcart for about $30 (ASIN B004HM9RHE) and it works great. Almost a plug & play device, you do not need an SWR meter as it is pre-tuned. Plug & play caveat: You will need a BNC Female/SMA Male Adaptor (ASIN B00CLFFM4G) to plug the antenna into the scanner. 6. When using in a vehicle, know the law. States may have laws restricting scanner use in a vehicle. UPDATE: As of May 1, 2006, a permit from the Michigan state police is no longer required to have a scanner in your vehicle on Michigan roadways. I have been told by the Ontario Provincial Police it is legal to have a scanner in a vehicle in Canada but have not been able to find the law on the books. UPDATE: March 7, 2021: A Spectrum Management Officer of the Canadian Innovation, Science and Economic Development department (Canada's equivalent to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission) wrote me that an amateur radio operator's license is required to use a scanner in a vehicle in Canada. Canada recognizes U.S.-issued amateur licenses, so if you're a licensed ham operator, you're set. 7. That's it. This scanner is as simple or complex as you wish it to be. For a busy dad, the simplicity is welcome and the Plug & Play No Fuss Ready-to-Use attributes actually let me enjoy the thing without brushing off my kids to learn how to make it work. It reminds me of the original Apple MacIntosh computer: A product so smart you can turn it on and use it without devoting hours of study to get it to function :-) ## Features - Features.

This price is very low just trying to see is the price just for the scanner and the manual?** A: The BCD436HP comes with the handheld unit, a USB cable for data transfer and charging, an SMA to BNC adapter, rubber duck antenna, wrist strap, belt clip, printed manual, and 3 rechargeable AA batteries. It does not come with AC or DC adapters for the USB cable. **Q: Does it have a plug-in for Bose headphones?** A: It will not allow most "Noise canceling" headphones as they are 600ohm, and the earphone jack is 32ohm! **Q: What about the GPS function? Is it installed in the radio or is that an additional charge? Also, can you attach a remote antenna to this receiver?** A: Please answer this question. Is GPS built in or not. A separate GPS device that cost $100 is a gps receiver that requires USB and power connection and thus is not designed or will not work connected to a RF connection. GPS should work without an external antenna just like your garmin does not require an external gps antenna to function. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by H***. on 4 July 2023* Este scanner es altamente recomendado.
