Ok I use this in the car - so much easier than any other scanner to use while driving. Works well - suction cup mount available - easy to setup and get going. I also have the BCD536hp - and its reception ability is superior to this unit. But if just using around town - this unit works great - in a fringe area - I suggest the 436/536 units. Did I say how easy it is to use? Also id does the latest Phase II of P25.

I've used scanners for many years and since I upgraded to this scanner from my old Uniden, WOW! what a difference. I love the fact that all I had to do was put my zip code in to the scanner and all my local channels are there. No need to program each channel by hand anymore. I will say this, being a little computer savvy helps because you really do need to plug it into your computer and download the latest updates after downloading Sentinel to your computer. Although this isn't necessary, it will help with programming and avoiding unnecessary frequencies you may not need or want. Overall this scanner is awesome and I am very pleased with it.

The homePatrol 2 can do many things that are advanced and finally with ease for the user. Quite simply all you need to do is enter your zip code and you can listen to virtually anything you want: police, fire, EMS, utilities, and so on. Many scanners today still require you to manually program them after you spend $500. Outrageous! This radio is easy to use and your up and running in minutes. Recommend getting the satellite antenna if you plan to use for travel and it will change locations on its own. A great buy!!!

I haven't had it long enough yet to really give a good review, but i pretty much just plugged it in, charged up the batteries and started listening. I have a metal roof, and I i'm looking for a 25' piece of the small diameter coaxial cable to get the antenna above my roof line where it should pick up 10 times what i'm getting now. Other than that i'm looking forward to years of listening. Patrick

It’s a good scanner easy to use and definitely user friendly. Only down side is the charge only last about a good 4-5 hours. That might just be the batteries it came with. I’m gonna up grade them to a better rechargeable battery. We will see how it goes then.

Great scanner. just have to input your zip code and it automatically loads you local channels. Invest a little more money and have you specific county programed to favorites and it works better. If I had a chance to choose another scanner I would spend a little more and get the Uniden SDS100 Digital Police Scanner. Another thing to think about is most of the channels you want to listen to are starting to become encrypted. So do your research before you shell out the money.

I;ve owned several scanners in the past, but this is head and shoulders above all of them. I was hesitant about buying it because of the price, but came across a good buy on Ebay and threw caution to the winds. I don;t regret it. This scanner virtually sets itself up as soon as you enter your zipcode. I followed the instructions and hooked it to the computer and downloaded the associated program, but I;m not sure it was necessary. It is easy to use the touchscreen to pick the services and distance you want to monitor. The built in speaker has good volume. I highly recommend this scanner.

We live in a backwater community just off a busy highway. Our little walkie talkie style scanner was forever needing control adjustments, was staticky and finally died. In shopping for. replacement I was taken aback by the price, but liked the zip-code tuning feature. This puppy really works! Reception is clear and non staticky. We have had to narrow the geographic range, because it brings in signals we formerly missed. We love it.

Fast and easy to set up in different areas, I specifically like the ease of use functionality since that becomes an issue when I travel. Decent battery life for the unit and using AA bats when the rechargeable set is depleted is a great feature. Though I have not used the GPS function it will make things even nicer, though the cables involved seem a bit cumbersome.
