Building a home listening station?
The included AC adapter powers the scanner from a wall outlet. The telescoping antenna is a fine starting point for local systems, but where you place it makes a real difference.
For distant departments or difficult indoor reception, a suitable external antenna may help. See our ProComm Home Antenna or select a compatible option above. Reception always depends on your location and the frequencies involved.
Installing the BCD536HP in a vehicle?
The bracket and DC power equipment support vehicle installations. Some dashboards may require a separately purchased DIN sleeve or additional mounting hardware.
GPS is supported, but the receiver is sold separately. With a compatible receiver, you can set up location-based scanning to change the nearby systems as you drive.
What about Wi-Fi?
The Wi-Fi dongle is included, but it needs network configuration and compatible software. If remote listening matters to you, read the Wi-Fi resources in our last tab before choosing this model.
Try Sentinel before buying
