Unless you have the Extreme Upgrade, you'll have to make the deletion, and/or any other changes, in Sentinel, then write the updated Favorites list to your HP-2.

If you Do have the Extreme Upgrade:
Press Menu
Then Advanced Menu
Then Advanced Option
At the next screen, you can select Edit Favorites list, then pick the List, then System that needs the deletion.
Or
If you have the Extreme Upgrade, hold on the channel you want to delete.
Then tap the < on the right edge of the screen on the same line of the channel.
From the pop-up menu, press the Advanced option.
That gets you to a screen where you can edit the channel. One of the choices you have is to delete it.

If he 'just found' the HP-2, it's database may be well out of date.
On the scanner:
Press the Menu button (if it's currently scanning, that button will be in the lower left corner of the display).
On the Menu screen, press the Advanced Menu key.
On the Advanced Menu screen, press the Version Information key (you may need to first press the 'down arrow' at the bottom of the menu to get to the next page).

The Version Information screen will show you the current database version on the scanner. I suspect it will be well out of date. If so, and if you have the cable to connect the scanner to a PC, then you need to update it via the correct version of Sentinel.

First, though, check to see which Service Types are enabled. The four Public Safety categories are Law, Fire, EMS, & Multi. For each of those, there are three subcategories- Dispatch, Talk, and Tac. Make sure all are enabled. (Law Dispatch, Law Talk, Law Tac, Fire Dispatch, Fire Talk, .....etc)

If you don't have Sentinel installed, you can find the link to download it here:
You will also need the data cable.

Update the database in Sentinel. Then, connect the data cable to the scanner and the PC. At the prompt on the scanner's screen, select Mass Storage Mode. Once the scanner is connected in Mass Storage mode, write information to the scanner.

With the updated database, see if you can now get any reception using your location & range.
The Easier to Read manual that covers your scanner can also help walk you through what needs to be done. You can find it here:

my data base was at 12/5/2021
If that is the database date in the scanner, then make sure that the correct service types are enabled, that the scanner saved your correct location, and that you have the desired range set.

What is your location? City (or county) & state?
