Will this scanner work with police and fire band?

Yes it will. I have mine set up in that fashion. It has a good range because I live outside city limits and I receive transmissions very clearly from city agencies. I hope this helps!

I heard you have to enter the frequencies with a computer app. Do not know what it is.

It does have a scan feature, but the frequencies would have to be in the radio's frequency range, and that would depend on each gov't department and what frequencies they use. It is not designed for, nor would it work well as a dedicated portable scanner.

Sorry.. no.. it will not scan the state police digital trunking frequencies

Yes and No. You can but it will not be that efficent. It will work but it will not work like a normal usb scanner. If you are really mobile it would probably work good but otherwise I would say buy a normal one because they are also more inexpensive . Hope this helps

Yes, if you have the frequencies through somewhere such as radio reference, this scanner will receive them. It is a digital scanner and I use it to listen to my local police and county who recently transitioned from analog to digital. It has a learning curve but if you use programming software it is pretty easy.

It can be used in any State. Problem is that many Police Departments have switched to Digital Radio. Like Vegas where I live. Scanners will not pick up theses signals so it is useless if this is your intention. Mine is just a Paper Weight for me now being Vegas Police went to Digital. Check if your Police went to Digital Radio. If so then this is useless...like mine now!

It should work because it has bluetooth connection but the scanner has many issues connecting to any device. It takes many tries in order to establish a connection.

Listen to it sometime! Shortwave is still interesting. Also, for a top of the line digital police scanner, be prepared to spend. Give your shortwave a chance. Also, if you have an Ipad, Iphone or Android decice, there are several police scanner apps that work quite nicely, and most are free or less then $2.00. Try them out. Doug-KF4UKB

do not know check with uniden or www.scannermaster.com they are very good people to communicate with .THIS SCANNER IS ONLY GOOD ON FLAT LAND. I live in the Atlanta area and it stinks even with a very good base antenna

From what I have found with mine, it will pick up just about anything other than scrambled transmissions. It is NOT very easy to program, however. It's an awesome scanner, but so good that it's a bit complex.

Yes , it needs a marine band antenna if you plan to transmit with it but if just plan to receive, you can use just about any good scanner antenna with a 259 connector.

Yes it does, you just have to tell it (program) the frequencies you want to scan. Great unit.

I looked up home patrol 1, as long as there is a aux/mic jack it should work just fine.

Yes it will. You may have to do a software update on the scanner for the newer cars and trucks. All you would have to do is connect the scanner to a computer got to the web site and download the new software. It's a great tool and worth every penny.

In a word....NO. This scanner is analog only, so can't pick up any broadcast in digital.

It should with no issues. I have been able to read trucks with cummins engines with my scanner

It should work...I use it with a smart phone scanning barcodes on a scoutpal app.
