[TheList] BCD436HP

Tue Jul 22 07:34:54 AEST 2014

No Uniden scanner supports MPT1327. Best to go SDR for that.. Also its
worth noting that BCD436HP is not a NZ/AU version. its not sold here.. yet
:)  I am very keen to hear how it performs. I have been reading the us
reviews and apart from not being able to charge and be used at the same
time... it looks to be fantastic.
