Hello,

Have an older HP-1 that I have gotten going again.
Really a nice, relatively easy (for me), unit to use.

Very confused over Service Types.

Isn't there some easy and foolproof way of turning them all on for every FL, and literally everything ?

Can't find any Global setting to do so.

Some of the very old Posts seem to imply that for other scanners like the 500 series it is possible.

Or, for the HP-1, you literally have to do it individually for each and every FL ?
Can't help but feel that the Default for all of them should be all On, but apparently Uniden doesn't agree.

What's the best way of handling this, please, so I don't miss "anything" ?

And,

Guess I'm also not too sure what "Other" really does/ mean.
What happens if I have literally everything set to Other ?

Have been missing a fair amount, as I always seem to forget about setting the Service Type.
So, why not just set everything (all the FL's) to Other ? What happens if I do ?
Would this allow the reception of everything, or...?

Thanks,
Bob
