After a good deal of troubleshooting, discussion and assistance in the Rhode Island forum, it appears that my HP-1 is deaf to the 800 MHz spectrum. I purchased the scanner a year and a half ago and had problems from the beginning receiving our statewide RISCON simulcast P25 broadcast.
However, because I could (and still can) receive UHF/VHF, I assumed it was my user error...but got nowhere trying to solve the problem. After further testing recently, I discovered that I can't receive any 800 MHz frequencies including my neighboring MA State Police. Can anyone please tell me if what appears to be 800 MHz deafness is fixable?
Thanks.
