After several months of saving I was able to purchase a Home Patrol Scanner. It was supposed to be easy, but it is not. It is updated with their "free update", 2.0. Lake County switched, I believe on September 1, to the State of Colorado DTRS, Motorola Trunked System. I was able to use the software to put in the system, and frequencies but the talk codes do not seem to be right. It will not accept the 2 on 2E19 but will accept E19 and then it puts an "h" at the end. My husband I have been trying to get it going since Monday, but we can not pick up any transmissions at all from anywhere. Even the analog paging system that we can still hear over our old scanner does not come over the Home Patrol. I believe that everything is hooked up correctly and the scanner was a demo purchased from Universal Radio and was in good working condition. We live in a heavily timbered area and also wondered about an antenna problem. I hope that someone out there can help me get this thing going. Thank you for your help. One more thing, what is the difference between the "standard Motorola Band and Custom".
