The BCD536HP is Uniden's top mobile/base digital scanner. It uses HomePatrol location-based programming: enter a zip code or connect GPS and it loads nearby systems from the RadioReference database, so you never type frequencies. Built-in Wi-Fi streams audio to the Siren app on a phone or tablet. It decodes P25 Phase I and II, Motorola, EDACS and LTR trunked systems, plus conventional analog. It suits hobbyists and public-safety listeners who want a set-and-forget scanner in a vehicle or at home. Rivals like the Whistler TRX-2 also do database programming but lack built-in Wi-Fi; the BCD536HP's main weakness is that it cannot decode DMR, NXDN or ProVoice without paid upgrades.

Owners rate it highly as a digital trunking scanner, praising the zip-code setup and Wi-Fi streaming. Complaints center on the Siren app's flakiness and the extra cost of digital mode upgrades.
The Uniden BCD536HP is a digital mobile and base scanner with built-in Wi-Fi. It uses HomePatrol programming, so the user does not need to program it. It receives Public Safety, Police, Fire, EMS, Ambulance, Aircraft, Military and Weather communications.
The scanner combines the Radio Reference radio system database with Uniden's patented system selection to monitor nearby systems in the USA and Canada. With Digital TrunkTracker V, the user turns it on, enters a zip code, and the scanner does the rest. It can also scan by location using a zip or postal code or GPS coordinates.
Wi-Fi lets the Uniden Siren App on a smartphone or tablet access the scanner from anywhere in the home or vehicle.
