The Homepatrol1 is not a Phase 2 capable scanner. The Homepatrol 2 IS however, as that is what I am using. Furthermore you will need a Phase 2 scanner when Scott County and Rock Island County migrate to the SARA Network.

Some of the talkgroups on ISICS are phase 1, most of the State TGs are Phase 2. In Scott County it a simulcast system with a tower at the I80 west bound rest area in Bettendorf and one west of Blue Grass in Muscatine County. Where I live in Davenport less than 3 miles to the Bettendorf site I am behind a hill and can't get the system with any reliability. When I am out and about in the mobile I have no problems with hearing it with my 325P2.

yes, i had a bc395xt and had to buy a 325 for this reason. just got a used on off ebay. if you use freescan, make sure you have the latest version as it supports 325.
