Below is from HP-1 user's manual on line. I'm not sure if I have version 2 or not. Different from HP-2
I have firmware 2.06

HomePatrol sentinel is version 2.03, revision 02
My sentinel won't let me change the alert tone from "off" to "tone = 1". The feature is there but grayed out. My arc536pro demo let me get into it and change it. but I damaged my favorites list in writing back to the scanner. Cleared my user data, rewrote favorites, works now and the alert beep works. So do I have HomePatrol-1 version 2 or not is my question? If I do, shouldn't my sentinel let me edit these features (id search too, same problem). This is a used scanner of my friends and I'd buy it if I can update it and it is cheep enough, but don't want it if it is too out of date. I'm going to use it in my car and want to differentiate agencies without being able to see the screen and the beeps seem to be my answer. Thanks. Jay
From the manual on line: this is different from the extreme update from what I can tell.
HomePatrol‐1 Version 2
Starting with Version 2, the HomePatrol‐1 includes many advanced features available by purchasing a registration key from Uniden. For information on unlocking and using these features, see the separate HomePatrol Extreme Users Guide. Even without the registration key, you can take advantage of these advanced features, many of which can be programmed using HomePatrol Sentinel software:
Per‐channel delay – lets you determine how long the HomePatrol‐1 stays on a channel after the transmission ends. Longer delays help prevent missing replies. Shorter delays improve overall scanning speed.
Better location precision for systems – allows you to define a department’s location and range using up to 32 rectangles instead of a single circle (circles are still supported).
Multi‐Favorite List Support – lets you monitor up to 256 Favorites List at a time, or combine Favorites Lists and the Full Database for monitoring.
Channel Alerts – sounds a programmable alert when a channel set to alert becomes active.
Unit ID Tagging – displays an alpha tag showing the information about a specific radio unit being received.
ID Search – stops on all unavoided radio traffic, even if the channel is not in HomePatrol‐1’s database.
Emergency Alert – sounds an alert when a unit triggers their emergency status (on compatible radio systems).
A coordinated HomePatrol‐1 website (HomePatrol) provides a variety of support features and information. Become part of the HomePatrol‐1 family by getting involved in the discussion forums.
