Perfect for what I got it for. As long as it isn't.

UPDATE February 2020: Trying to get it working after we moved back to Florida from North Carolina. It "scans" the Ocala region database, but only enters a few weather channels. Broadcast only static signals to all 100+ stations in the area. Too much money for a device that only lasts 3 years. FIRST CHECK: I received and set up my Uniden HP-2 scanner yesterday. Let me tell you after trying a few scanners 15-20 years ago this one is so easy in comparison. You simply enter a zip code, your city…

Uniden Home Patrol 2 - Great Scanner!

I have been using scanners for almost 40 years, first when each frequency was added by inserting a crystal into the socket, and later when a keyboard for manually entering each frequency appeared. I was happy with my old analog scanner, but since most of our local radio stations had switched to digital, I couldn't hear the stations I wanted to hear. This Uniden HP2 is great as I have experience with scanners but might pose a problem for a first time scanner user. The OSD is simple and easy to…

Pros
  • Please note: AC or DC adapter NOT included. A USB cable is included to power the device and/or charge NiMH batteries. Use this cable to connect HomePatrol-2 to your smartphone's standard USB power adapter (not included) or to your computer's USB port with a 5V DC output (not included).
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Quality product - one of the easiest scanners to use.

Expensive. may be . but you get your money's worth. I have had this radio for about 2 years now and have shown it to many people in my area who have told me they would like to hear police channels again. They tell me that the police are now encrypting everything and they can no longer be intercepted. Well, imagine her surprise when I say "Really?" and turn on my HP2! Yes, the guys at LEO encode some of the channels and this device certainly won't decode them. What it will do is digital…

Pros
  • Includes: HomePatrol 2 scanner, flexible antenna, table stand, USB cable, 4 x AA NiMH rechargeable batteries, SMA to BNC adapter.
Cons
  • Little things

Good for beginners, experienced users buy something else!

I bought this radio at a price you'd think is feature packed. Turns out my old RadioShack digital scanner can do more than this thing. If you don't know how to operate a wireless scanner and you're just starting out, this works fine, but for advanced users, even with the extreme package, this thing lacks a lot of good features. I was hoping it would have a fiery tone and some other good qualities, but they weren't included. For me as an advanced user this was a big waste of money and the sound…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Socket required

Good product easy to use

I got this because my local police recently upgraded their radio system to a Project 25 Phase 1 unencrypted system. It made me realize how many local systems are now digital and what I was looking for a quick fix. HomePatrol 2 is a great solution. It was very easy to start setting zip code location. The connection to the RadioReference.com database works great - MANY frequencies are retrieved automatically and the ability to select by service is very handy. It takes a while to get used to if…
