[TheList] BCD436HP

Completely understand mate, I was more pointing out the americans 
shortfall at opening up to other markets like you were.  It's a shame 
they don't look at outside markets to see that it's quite common around 
the world outside of the states, I'd certainly be interested if I could 
get my hands on one.  My IC-R5 - Trunkview - PCR1000 isn't an overly 
elegant setup even if it does work.  I'm sure ICOM could probably update 
the R20 easily, given it was dual receive, to get MPT1327.

That said, it's good that Uniden are putting out new scanners still, it 
was quite a while between the 73/93XLTs and the newer 396XLTs from what 
I recall.  Nice seeing they have APCO support too for the UBC*s, rather 
than just limiting it to the BCD versions.  It was also quite a while 
ago that ICOM put out their last scanner, not sure what they were trying 
to achieve with the R6 compared to the R5 (which I still love)

Cheers
