I was getting motivated to consider a new scanner. I have the HomePatrol 1 no upgrades. Updated firmware to date as well as the database. Thanks to some folks here I finally figured out the fine art of proper programming. I now receive the PD I wanted to receive along with a ton of other typical stuff like business and fire and such. I'm pretty certain that here in Salt Lake County they are still Analog. Yes they have some trunking, and thus far, now that my HP1 is properly programmed is doing a fine job on that.
So my question is this. If I get a 436 or a 536, is there any dramatic improvement in any stock area that I could expect to experience? I've gotten messages from a few folks that say stay put, there is nothing more to hear, and others have said that the 536 for example WILL get some channels as well as superior quality of reception to my HP1 in it's current state. I'd love to hear some strong opinions here from some of you if you think there's anything much to gain from stepping so called UP to a 536 lets say, and get it dialed in. Will it really do some things my HP1 won't? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
