Uniden HomePatrol-2 Color Touchscreen Simple Program Digital Scanner, TrunkTracker V and S,A,M,E, Emergency/Weather Alert, APCO P25 Phase 1 and 2! Covers USA and Canada, Quick Record and Playback

You can get setup and scanning in minutes. Scanning can be a huge project or with this unit it can be very easy. I highly recommend this unit. The record and replay functions are cool. It automatically found all the channels in my area that I wanted. Very nice system. The only thing is I am not sure about the charging....it seems to just have a timer and not a real check on the batteries...not sure...overall a GREAT unit.

Easy to get started and use.

HOME PATROL 2 IS A GREAT LITTLE RADIO VERY EASY TO USE JUST ENTER YOUR ZIP CODE AND READY TO GO

Well im guessing my city has their channels scrambled, I could get it but everything was scrambled so you couldnt understand what was said! I only want to give one star as I tried to get in touch with the company who makes them with their phone number and you cant talk to a human! Of course im sure theyll blame it on COVID!! So I couldnt fix the problem with the scanner so all I could do was return it and call it a day! Just wanted to thank the company for all the headaches of trying to figure out what was wrong by my self because theyre never around to help you solve any problems that might call me up!

For full disclosure, I would not consider myself a scanner junkie or really a big radio enthusiast. But this product as a no fuss scanner is awesome! I have had other scanners, and for some of them the interfaces are just plain clunky to work thru. Those made me feel like I could hardly enjoy the device if I wasnt a scanner hobbyist. This HomePatrol-2 model is really slick. Put in your zip code and go basically if thats all you want to do. Bright and clear display so you know what you are listening to. Lots of customization available if you want to dive deep into what the scanner can do if thats your thing. Im really looking forward to what this device is capable of. I think Uniden sells an ultimate upgrade or something to customize frequencies even further. This really seems to run the gambit if you just want a working scanner without the headaches or want to scratch the hobbyist itch.

Its easier to set up, using a zip code, rather than programming it myself, but it does require some patience, because it is not EASY to use. I found it was more than just powering it up, and entering my zip code, to be able to use it. There are several steps that must be followed, using a windows computer, before it will work correctly on trunked radio networks.

Works great, easy to use and fun listening to whats going on around the neighborhood.

If youre looking for an easy to use scanner, look no further. Simply turn it on and put in your zip code. You can then tell it which types of transmissions you want to hear and how far away. Awesome little unit. There are some complexities involved with how various agencies utilize radio channels and they are always evolving, so no system is perfect or will work in every area. But this Uniden covers the most up-to-date types of radio frequencies. The unit takes rechargeable batteries which are included. If you plug it in to a usb outlet or computer, you can recharge the batteries. It only charges via a micro usb port, but you can plug it into a wall charger if you have a usb converter.

Very easy to set up, battery life is great just needs a better antenna if you live in the country.
