Uniden Public Safety Receiver (Home Patrol- 1)

Long time scanner user and ham operator. This unit is very easy to operate and exhibits good reception in my area. I really like the display, especially the alpha tags so we know who is talking. I have heard many things that i never heard before. The unit is not field programmable but with a PC and database software you can develop favorites lists and program anything within its receiver range. It does allow a manual frequency entry but this entry does not write to the data base. The unit does allow for firmware upgrades so the "sky is the limit" - - Customer Reviews
