Question about radio scanner in a basement

[jonwienke]

Definitely not. The HomePatrol receiver is very poor at receiving simulcast. I've done some head-to-head testing, and in a mild simulcast situation where the 436 missed about 10% of traffic, the Homepatrol-2 missed about 50%.

Ok thanks, thats was what I thought. But had to ask.

There was/is a filter selection in the HP-1/2 scanner that seems to be directed at refining the decode quality of different system types.
