Can the Home Patrol be programmed to recive Loudoun Co. Sheriff's dispatch. I understand that one other brand/model scanner can, although not perfect but apparently works?

Totally agree with everything Mike writes. The PRS 800 is a great little radio. Like my 996XT, the HP 1 may receive some Loudoun traffic since there are still some FDMA radios is use but it is very sporadic and it will drive you nuts (as least it did to me). As far as reception goes, you may want to upgrade to a better digital antenna however even with the rubber duck that comes with the unit, I have been able to monitor Loudoun traffic in places like Warrenton and Marshall in Fauquier County.
Are you listening to FDMA Loudoun on the Home Patrol? How did you program it? I have entered it manually as a P25 system in my Favorites, but the bandplan is empty do I need to enter a band plan?
Do the new gre 800"s come with the data pre programmed in for the new Loudoun county system?<br />
If not can it be upgraded with a download? Or do I have to add freq's and such manually?<br />
Sorry for all of the questions, I just didn't want to have to try and do a bunch of fancy stuff to get it to work.<br />
I have the previous generation Radio Shack digitals made by GRE, but I guess they won't get it done? And I'm not quite sure about the Home Patrol and the link? I guess it can't do it? I'm not that savy to all the tech stuff sorry. Thanks
I know that my previous radio shack scanners were made by gre. I wonder if they now have the psr 800 using thier name and if it has the same capabilities? I have a RS gift card that would pay for most of it there. Thanks
for 394.98. Store name is "Installer Gadge Store". Here's the link:
GRE PSR-800 EZ Scan Digital Trunking Handheld Scanner with 2GB SD
That's a really good price. Almost tempting to get another if I needed it.
But look at their 'standard shipping' cost of $49.62. LOL
Might as well buy it from one of the places known to be reputable and with good support.
I think this is the cheapest place.
The Antenna Farm :: , Your Two Way Radio Source! has it for $409.95 + $9.95 flat rate shipping.
