I have a Uniden Home Patrol that I just hooked up an outside antenna which is about 25ft above the ground. I have reentered my zip code and even have increased the range to around 25-30 miles. I am located in Nash County, North Carolina. So far, I am having no luck on receiving any North Carolina Highway Patrol at all. I have been listening to the Highway Patrol with my smartphone with an app that I used frequently since I cannot receive any broadcast on the Highway Patrol with my Uniden scanner. I am not sure if I have a settings wrong or what?


Thanks,
David

You will get better answers in the North Carolina for your specific county, generally you want to monitor the statewide VIPER system for NCSHP. Do you see that system coming up in your scan list?

Did you update the frequency file on your HP? What version of the firmware are you using? One version of the firmware completely made my HP not decode anything. I am now using a beta version 2.06 and it works better than any other previous version.

Yes, I just did an update last night. Not sure yet, if it worked.
