I have tried going mobile with my Homepatrol 1 and it is tough to hear the speaker inside my car. What do you use to get the volume up ? I have a good Motorola speaker and it still does not work.

Yeah, I have noticed with mine it is not very loud. I tried three different speakers, an older radio shack, a newer one, & one of my trusty old Motorola's. It just doesn't have the audio power to get very loud.
Do a search this has been covered here tons of times

Thank you very much!
I do the same works great.
Additionally, any for any device that has headphone out, you'll need an amplified speaker for good results.
I picked up a Radio Shack "Amplified Communications Speaker" (21-130) on clearance for $9.47 along with a right angle headphone adapter, a stereo-to-mono adapter and a cigarette lighter plug and was pleasantly surprised! The speaker is LOUD, even at half volume, and is nice and clear over the road noise.
It turns itself off after a period of inactivity so you will miss the first half a second of a new transmission as it powers on, but it's worth the trade-off to be able to hear it

I've used both Radio Shack and Uniden amplified speakers. They both perform well.
The $9.47 is a very good price - get all you can at that.
