Question: how do i know my small town is contained in the database provided with homepro
Document: I have had several people try to program this to my area . I live in a small town and I find this scanner too broad range which doesn't help me here. I don't care to listen to the next big city.
Think if you have a repeater close to you or you live in a town with lots of traffic you will love this. In a small town with little traffic I don't think you would hear enough to make it worth the money. In a large city .. or medium sized city its fantasic.
Very nice, responsive screen. I live in a small town, 4k pop.,a "real " brick house, and it got MANY more freq. than I wanted. Clear excellent reception- even45 miles From the source signal. Pricy as heck, but it works perfectly. . Update the software. Would buy again.
I love this scanner and I am getting ready to hook up my wilsion 5000 to it which should keep let me get a few more repeters. Even now with the basic antenna it don't miss Any calls within 5 miles.I see all the negative reviews and trust me I live in a very small town and it works better than any scanner ive owned since 91
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.
Well mine is crystal clear. Very easy to use I think. All in all I am very pleased with this purchase so far. Tonight I will build some favorite lists on my PC and download them, you don't really have to do that. You can go from the whole database and put your zip code in. Then I just lock on my local police. In my area its a Metro system so it picks up several small towns in addition to the 5 Kansas City Police divisions.
I'm in a small city in New Mexico and I'm sure that this scanner works perfectly in Dallas or even Albuquerque but it doesn't work where I am. The advertisements state that when you type in your zip code or city you can begin listening to fire, police, emergency transmissions etc. Unfortunately the transmissions come from a database and if your local police, fire, etc. frequencies aren't in the data base you hear nothing at all. The unit looks like you are scanning - Police, railroads, etc.
I bought this scanner after reviewing the product extensivly online.It has lived up to all my expectations & worked just super, right out of the box.I did purchase the Butel software & it has made it easy toprogram my personal favourites. There are some frequencies in our area not includedin the provided software & Butel allowed me to solved this problemAll in all a great scanner!
Sound quality is average or better and the screen is good. The provided antenna is weak---order a upgrade antenna and toss the included one right from the shipping box into the trash. I am also finding that mounting hardware is frequently &#34;out-of-stock&#34; but perhaps that's temporary. I like the unit, but it is not perfect for everyone as they might like you to believe.
It's fun to use while sleeping in a hotel, then replaying what happened overnight in a town you're unfamiliar with... You tend to get a feeling of the more crime ridden parts of a community, (Ooh better stay off so in so street on my way to that meeting etc.
