Where to Buy Uniden UBCD436PT
Hi all,
This whole scanning thing has me really hooked!
I recently purchased the Uniden UBC126AT and it's really a fantastic tool to have while plane-spotting! I ordered a Diamond SRH77CA from the US (it seems to be taking a tour in America or at least that's what I can deduce from its online tracking) for it as well, still yet to arrive.
Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot to listen to in my area... There's the dispatch-like service of a taxi company and Chinese music to name a few, but that's it.
I looked online and sort of fell in the love with the look of the Uniden BC436HP but it became obvious that that was the American model and the only way to get it would be to import it from the States.
Then, I found the Uniden UBCD436PT on Uniden Australia's website. I can only deduce that this is the Australian region model. However, it says that the item is exclusive to Pacific Telecommunications but I can't find the scanner on their website.
I see in other threads/replies that some of you actually own this scanner. Can I just ask if anyone knows where I can buy it (and if the price isn't available on the web -- the price)? I really don't want to import it to Australia.
Thanks for the help in advance!

You can't. It's only available to cfa members at this time, and they have a very limited amount aswell. I have the 436 that I imported from the states

Re: Where to Buy Uniden UBCD436PT
Ahh I see. I noticed that Uniden New Zealand also have the UBCD436PT and that their product page also talks about it being designed around the CFA. I wonder if that holds true in New Zealand then. I mean, why list a product on your site when you don't sell it?chainz wrote:You can't. It's only available to cfa members at this time, and they have a very limited amount aswell.

Re: Where to Buy Uniden UBCD436PT
When are the ubcd436pt `s going to be available to the public in Australia ?
Can anyone legally import and use one ,at the moment ?
Reading up on this model , It seems a good unit to have. Pricey , but worth it.
Are they pretty much ready to turn on , select the region you want to listen to and off you go ? Are they easy to use if you are like me and are used to the 396xt ?
Thanks.

Re: Where to Buy Uniden UBCD436PT
The UBCD436PT will not be available to the public for 2 years. The only source is Pacific Telecommunications as they 'own' the unit, it is not for Uniden to sell them, as per the notation on Uniden's website. They cannot be imported from the US or anywhere else because they do not exist anywhere else. There is of course the US version (BCD436HP) as mentioned elsewhere.nirvana wrote:When are the ubcd436pt `s going to be available to the public in Australia ?

If PacTel decide to sell them within the 2 year embargo then so be it that is their choice - not Uniden's. The Uniden brand name is on them, Uniden made them but as I said PacTel own them, so to speak.

Re: Where to Buy Uniden UBCD436PT
I just saw the UBCD436pt for sale on the Prestige Communications site?????
I think they have made a mistake because the link says ubcd396xt.

Re: Where to Buy Uniden UBCD436PT
It is possible as PacTel have decided to release the unit early. Start saving those pennys.Peroco65 wrote:I just saw the UBCD436pt for sale on the Prestige Communications site?????

Re: Where to Buy Uniden UBCD436PT
It looks that way
The Uniden 396 appears to be have been replaced by "Uniden UBCD436PT XT Digital Scanner" at $691.90 (which is way above what a 396 costs new)
I think those fires on the Ocean coast road may have forced a rethink

Check again. The 436PT has been removed from the Prestige website.Peroco65 wrote:I just saw the UBCD436pt for sale on the Prestige Communications site?????

However the 325P2-AU has appeared on there.

Frankly I think all this is doing is to dick around and confuse the local market.

There was an error in the listing. The UBCD436PT is still subject to the embargo. Someone got their models mixed up.dags19 wrote:i can get the American version of the Uniden Bearcat BCD325P2 Police Scanner for about 623 australian
