- Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2024Style: Homepatrol2Verified PurchaseLike most Unidens of late, the HP-2 is an easy to use scanner that updates the HP-1 to add P-25 TDMA (phase 2) and USB charging/power. You enter your zip code and select what you want to hear. Building favorites lists is easy.
Runs off included AA NiMH or USB power, they include a power cable but you'll need to provide your own USB power source of 1 amp or more. I leave it on a local P25 system to monitor our fire dispatch and firegrounds and it works wonders. It can also record radio traffic for later playback. Does weather alert too.
I have a 436 and this form factor/touch screen is great for a desk or bed side if you want to keep an ear on things. Note that if your desired radio systems use encryption, this and any scanner will NOT receive encrypted talk groups on trunking systems or frequencies, so always check sites like Radio Reference or local experts before buying.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2015Style: Homepatrol2Verified PurchaseI've owned several Uniden scanners over the years and currently own the Uniden 436HP and the classic BR330T. I recently started looking into putting a scanner into my truck that I could also easily swap between vehicles. That immediately disqualified Uniden's standard mobile offerings. Sure, I could have mounted one of my handhelds but reading those screens while driving is next to impossible. This is where the Homepatrol 2 fits in. Besides having a very readable screen, it can easily be moved between vehicles and home when needed when you have the appropriate mounts.
I was already familiar with Uniden's home patrol concept. It's a small learning curve but when it "clicks," it all makes sense. In short, the HomePatrol 2 (HP2) has a massive data base of frequencies available to you via an included microsd card. How you organize those frequencies for your listening purposes can be accomplished in two ways. You can either just put in your zipcode and choose what service types you'd like to hear (police, ems, fire...) or you can use Uniden's Sentinel software to organize the frequencies into favorites lists which is like a new way of setting up banks. I've created several lists for my home area but will sometimes use the zip code method if I'm visiting a new place. This is very handy as in the "old days" I'd either have to program the scanner before I left for a trip or I'd just use the search function to find something to listen to. Now, there's no guessing no matter where I go which is great. Admittedly, as someone who has been scanning for 30 years, I do feel like I am somehow cheating thanks to how easy it is to set up the HP2 but I think I will get over it :)
As far as hardware goes, this is a solid feeling unit. It's a little heavier than I expected it to be and that's fine because this is not something you would likely be carrying around like a handheld. The speaker sounds good (not tinny). The touch screen is responsive and accurate. The scan rate is zippy. I ran it next to my 436 and they were pretty much on par with one another. The screen is one of the selling points of this scanner for me. It's easy to ready and provides a lot of data.
If you're considering this scanner and want to future-proof yourself against the eventual expansion of some agencies to P25 Phase 2 systems, I'd recommend this unit. If you're not concerned or know that what you listen to does not require that system capability, go with the HP1 (previous model.)
- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2025Style: Homepatrol2Verified PurchaseIt is not a plug-in and play. It is not a enter a zip code and go. Over 300+ channels scanning and nothing, not a single, call, Hello, nothing. I wish I had not purchased. It is not easy, it does not work in NE Oklahoma if you are in this area. It will not work. Hundreds of channels scanning and nothing. If you have to manually enter and manually remove channels it will not be easy.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2023Style: Homepatrol2Verified PurchaseAs someone who loves to stay up-to-date on local news and events, I've been on the lookout for a police scanner that's both easy to use and packed with features. The Uniden HomePatrol-2 delivers on both counts and more.
The first thing I noticed about this scanner is how easy it is to set up and use. The color touchscreen is intuitive and responsive, and the pre-programmed channels and location-based scanning made it a breeze to get started. I was up and running in no time, and quickly began to explore all the different features the HomePatrol-2 has to offer.
One of my favorite features is the ability to customize the scanner to my specific needs. With the ability to create custom scan lists and assign priority channels, I can focus on the frequencies that are most important to me. And with the GPS functionality, the HomePatrol-2 can automatically adjust the channels it scans based on my location, making it even easier to stay informed about what's happening in my community.
The audio quality is also top-notch, with clear and crisp reception that makes it easy to hear even in noisy environments. And with the ability to record and playback transmissions, I can go back and listen to important broadcasts again if needed.
Overall, I highly recommend the Uniden HomePatrol-2 to anyone looking for a high-quality police scanner that's packed with features and easy to use. Whether you're a hobbyist, a journalist, or just someone who wants to stay informed, the HomePatrol-2 is a great investment that will provide hours of listening pleasure.
