I made the jump and bought an HP2 simply to keep up with the future. While we do not presently have any Phase 2 traffic in our county, I am sure with the density of the area we will in the future.
After loading the exact favorites list in both scanners, I seem to notice that the HP1 has better reception than the HP2. Has anyone else noticed that? Same antennas and setup. Same location, even switched side to side to see if there was a difference in position, but no. Just wondering whether I have a defective HP2 or is the HP1 just a faster unit? Thanks.
On another subject, the batteries I received with the HP2 would not fit! I know this sounds insane but the batteries are too long and too large in diameter. I first thought I was crazy, then thought the radio battery compartment had been cast incorrectly, then took a hard look at the batteries and saw they just didn't look right. Got out a set of Lenmar's and viola, they are totally out of spec. Not AA by any stretch of the imagination. Uniden will replace them, with their great customer service. Has anyone else had this happen? Makes me very suspect of these Chinese manufactured batteries, although other batteries made in China have come with all the past Uniden scanners and been perfect performers.
