Uniden Home Patrol 2 Scanner

The Home Patrol 2 uses your zip code to automatically download the correct radio frequencies for your area from the RadioReference database. It essentially does the heavy lifting for you, so you don't need to manually input complex frequency data.

Yes, it is designed for mobile use. You can connect it to your vehicle's speakers for clearer audio or use the headset jack if you prefer private listening while on the road.

No, the Home Patrol 2 cannot decode encrypted transmissions. It is designed to receive standard analog and digital public safety communications, such as APCO-25 Phase I and II.

The database is not permanent. Because radio systems change frequently, Uniden provides easy software updates that allow you to refresh the scanner's database and firmware to keep it current.

The GPS functionality allows the scanner to automatically update what it is listening to based on your physical location. As you travel, it seamlessly switches to the relevant local radio systems without you needing to manually change settings.

The included 2GB MicroSD card provides a solid amount of storage for recording transmissions. While the exact duration depends on how much radio traffic you capture, it is sufficient for logging significant amounts of activity.
