Product Overview

I recently had the opportunity to test out the Uniden HomePatrol 2 Color Touchscreen Simple Program Digital Scanner. As a professional reviewer who has tried and tested many products, I was impressed with the features and capabilities of this scanner.

The Uniden HomePatrol 2 is a digital scanner that is compatible with Motorola Type I, Motorola Type II, EDACS Standard Wide , EDACS Narrowband Networked, EDACS SCAT, EDACS ESK not ProVoice , LTR Standard and Project 25 Phase II systems. It also has the ability to scan for unencrypted non proprietary radio systems. This makes it great for hearing communications from public safety, police, fire, ambulance, aircrafts, military and weather among others. It is also capable of covering both the USA and Canada.

The scanner comes with a flex antenna, desk stand, USB cable and four AA NiMH Rechargeable Batteries. It also includes an instruction guide which makes it easy to use right out of the box. It is equipped with a standard headset jack so you can listen to transmissions without disturbing others. The touch screen interface allows you to quickly see a list of radio services in your area so you can easily tune in to your local fire station or police department or any open two way radio transmission.

The sound quality of this scanner was excellent and it was very easy to program and use. The battery life was also good and I didn t have any issues with it during my testing period. The portability was great as well since it is small enough to fit in my bag or pocket when I am on the go.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Uniden HomePatrol 2 Color Touchscreen Simple Program Digital Scanner for anyone looking for a reliable digital scanner that covers both USA and Canada. It has excellent sound quality, is easy to program and use and has good battery life which makes it perfect for professionals as well as hobbyists alike.
