holding on any Channel in Scan Mode and pressing Func then 1, 2, or 3.

Sometimes when scanning, the scanner will receive a channel, but you can only hear static. You would need to lock this channel out to continue with normal scanning.

- To remove this channel double tap the “Avoid Key”.
For the HomePatrol-2
- Put the channel on hold, then tap the arrow on the
righthand side, and set lockout
Scanners are programmed using the database listed on radioreference.com. We program (Police, Fire, EMS & State police channels). You can put the scanner on hold to dial through all the channels to confirm these are listed in the radio.
To disable “Close call”, Press the menu button, and dial down to close call press down on the olume knob. Then dial down to “Set CC Mode”. With “Off” Selected. Press down on the Volume knob. This will disable close call.
Frequencies used by public safety are subject to change at any time, A good example is when an area transitions to a digital system from analog.

Changes are listed on Radioreference, Each county has its own portion of the website. Chages are listed at the top of the respective county page under “Last Updated”. If there
are recent changes listed for the channels your interested in re-programming is required. We offer several different programming options, you can find them isted here:
The zip code featureonly allows for one zip code to be entered at a time, but the zip code function is used to tell the scanner which geographic region of the frequency database to enter-- it does not indicate the exact area to be scanned. For monitoringsomething like a tri-county area I strongly recommend the Optimization serviceas it tailors the scanner to a customer's local area rather than thousands of channels based on a geographic region.
DMR, PROVOICE & NXDN are individual digital Radio systems, the manufacturer gives you the option to unlock reception of these systems with the purchase of the software upgrades
No, unfortunately. A Windows PC is required for all Uniden scanners and the software they use.

Extra Options
Currently no scanners are able to monitor encrypted signals.
This range will vary based on your location, terrian, & local ransmitting towers. On average 30-50 Miles.
Comparing your radio to someone using broadcastify isn’t a great comparison unfortunately. Broadcastify has 2-minute delay scanners play in real time. The end user broadcasting on broadcastify is using a scanner with specific programming and location. Essentially you would have to be in the same area, using the same scanner and programming to truly compare what you have to a broadcasifiy user.
Scanners aren’t Bluetooth compatible, however, we’ve had customers use 3.5MM Bluetooth adapters to sync speakers and other Bluetooth devices to the radio.

Our programming services include all towns, cities, municipalities within the county you requested for public safety channels such as Police, Fire, Ems, and state police. The scanner does have service type options in the radio so they can be turned on and off when desired. So, for example if you only wanted to hear Fire and EMS for the day you would turn all other service types of such as Law and only leave the ones you want on. Also keep in mind if there are any channels you completely do not want you can permanently avoid them by double tapping the avoid button on your scanner
