Of course, I just bought my HP-1...good deals will be everywhere now!
I see that Amazon's price has creeped up to $442.00. I also checked Bearcat Warehouse their price went from $430.00 to $480.90. I guess the sales are over for now!
Great time to sell your used Hp2!
Yes, I got mine from Amazon/JB tools for $ 394 subtract a $135 in amazon cards , Not a bad deal
BUT
Programmed my favorites list in & for whatever reason it would not take Manchester CT pd freqs But it worked fine 4 the rest of my local freqs
I have win 7 & sentinel was updated, The sentinel has not worked right @ all for me, Even 4 my HP 1's
My solution was since I bought a HP 2 from bearcat warehouse for about $394 in November & had them program some things that included MPD, I bought a SD card & had them program it the same & that solved the problem
SD card, programmed 2 counties @ all state freqs ,shipping, $55 out the door
A new HP 2 for my office @ $310 still not bad But lesson learned still, BE SURE you can use the sentinel on it Or you will have the problem I had
Good time 2 sell them used Maybe, But I have a 436 Barely used & about a yr old That's collecting dust since I could not figure it out & just gave up, But would sell it 4 the right price
My 396t is 11 yrs old & still works great
Programmed my favorites list in & for whatever reason it would not take Manchester CT pd freqs But it worked fine 4 the rest of my local freqs

Just a point of interest, Manchester PD has two woking channels, PD1 & PD2. PD 1 (460.1250) should be no problem to download. PD2 is encrypted, no one can receive PD2 with any scanner.
Perhaps, your problem with the Hp2 and Sentinel is that you might not have the correct version of Sentinel installed on your computer??? HP2's require the newer Sentinel software download introduced when the Hp2 came on the market.
I'm not quite sure what your problem was. What software did Bearcat Warehouse use to program the card? HP Sentinel or somehow a version of Arc Patrol for your favorites? They had to use HP Sentinel for the proper firmware and the updated database.
I understand these SD card based scanners may be unfamiliar to many long time scanner enthusiasts. But if all they did was ship you a new programmed SD card, that shows there were no defects in the scanner. And at least in the version of Home Patrol Sentinel they were using.
