hp-1

hello everyone .im new to the forum i have a question about hp-1
i bought the scanner new a few years ago and am now just noticing that i cant receive channels out side of my city.there is a much larger city 15 min drive north of me and i cant get not even one frequency from that city at all nothing.im on the 3rd floor of apartment building well above house tops. i should be able to get the channels from that city.so i put the scanner to a test.my mom has a old 1980's scanner we put them side by side she can get channels i cant from that city.whats going on? ive tried squelch its set at two bars.moved the range for 30 to to 1.5 miles nothing helps. i have version 2.05 whats going on with this thing??

Is that agency/system being scanned? Is it in the RR database? Is it avoided?

Touch the top bar to Hold on systems, then use the right menu and use "next" to step through all the systems to see if it is there and not avoided.

You can also create a Favorite List and include those channels with any other local channels you want to hear.
