hey guys it's Nixon again from zip scanners the ultimate place for all your scanner needs with free shipping no taxes and lifetime technical support from experts like me today I'm going to review these two popular phase 2 digital scanners I'm going to go over some features show you how they look when turned on and navigate through some of the key aspects of them so you can get an idea of what they are both like also I'll compare and go over some of the similarities and differences of these two scanners and why I recommend one over the other let's start with the unit in-home patrol - you can see right away that this is a horizontal display and it's a lot bigger than this TRX-1 to use it you're going to be holding it in this fashion it feels like it takes two hands to do but nonetheless it is a touchscreen display and that's what's really nice about it size-wise you can see that the home Patrol is a little bit thicker in bulkier than the TRX-1 so if portability is an issue you'll know that the TRX-1 is the one to go with in spite of the fact that it doesn't have a touchscreen and I'll get into that in a little bit so again as I said this display is very quite easy to use you have your display options you have your advanced menu here where you can set the clock set your charge time select nationwide systems this is where you would go to set your location either by zip code city some audio options a weather mode that's very nice when you're ready to listen and monitor you just gotta hit this listen button and you're ready to go and this is the display you can see it's working through scanning and in this mold you can adjust your squelch at the top your range how far you want to monitor something nice about this scanner is that it does have a GPS on it and GPS is only available for with the unit and scanners so if you are planning on using this in your car the unit in is the way to go especially the home patrol being that it's a touch display and you don't want to be fussing around with buttons for example the other unit in scanners another nice feature that this unit in Hoban show has is this record button you can start recording as you are monitoring so if something comes up that you're really interested in and you want to maybe listen to it later possibly what you can record it and it does a good job of that now let's talk a little bit about the TRX-1 here I took the rubber tape that comes with this off so that you can get a better idea of how it looks where everything is and really see its true dimensions so let's go into the menu here and take a look at what's going on right away you see at the top you have your scan you go down you'll see your scan list and if you programmed this with us you'll also see the Collings program here you'll notice that there's a check mark on the left side and that'll let us know which ones which counties you want to monitor so let's say these are counties I can just check it by hitting in this select button here and you'll notice that there's a check mark there now if I go down there's another check mark there so let's just say you had four counties programmed you can pick which one you want to monitor and which ones you don't want any water and it's as simple as that when you're done you just a menu and then you can begin scanning by pressing this play button the program menu here is where you would go to adjust your settings as you scroll down you'll see various settings you can change one of the biggest ones that we have is just the sound button I turned the key beeps off I'm gonna turn them back on so you get an idea of what it's like when you're every time you press a button notice that every time i hit the button now you can it makes a sound this is light mode that's currently set on I left the light on just so you could see the screen better you can definitely turn off if you like but we'll leave it on for this purpose you can just a light level to make it brighter or darker once you're done setting your settings you just hit menu to go back it'll actually just say what you just did you just hit the light here and you're good to go now as I said this TRX-1 does not have GPS but nonetheless it has some features some very nice features that the whole patrol will not have and right of
So glad I stumbled into you guys. Being an older man I want and need my new scanner set up and ready to go.

Me Too
Just chose the Home Patrol yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
hmmm... Home Patrol 2 is a good scanner if you need EDACS or provoice. But TRX-1 has the best performance and skills over Home Patrol 2.
Interesting, after watching that I feel much better about having 2 homepatrols. The TRX has a terrible interface. I have one HP in the car, and when travelling the GPS receiver tracks where I am and I get the relevant stuff. At home it sits in a cradle. Both are hooked to outdoor or mobile antennas. I guess if you carry around a scanner the TRX is fine, but for home or car use, the HP is a fantastic machine. I think a lot of people who are used to programming old fashioned scanners with channels and frequencies and banks get frustrated with the HP way of doing it. But once you go there, you'll never go back!
Glad you like the HP2 - everyone's needs are different.
Good review of these two scanners. The Home Patrol 2 does not have DMR or NXDN. The information you provided was very helpful to me. I think your programming abilities are good but not for me. I like listening to the Dog catcher and the Mall Security, and the Security in my small town of City Coop as well as Hospital,colleges, Stores like Target and Walmart. You would leave those out and that is what I enjoy listening to 99% of the time. I live in New York City and there are TONS of Police and Fire and EMS to listen to but I did that in the 80's and got burnt out on them. But if I lived in a small community then I could see listening to Police and Fire and EMS because it would be probably and event when something happened and I would probably know some of them. All the best to you Zip Scanners.
Hello Antonio, feel free to shoot us an analysis request email, and we can tell if those things are opened for monitoring.
I do have the HP2, but I regret buying it since it does not have dmr. and some services in my area are utilizing that system. I am selling it, however, and am getting the TRX-1.
I think you'll like the TRX-1 more than the HP2 regardless of the DMR capabilities. It's just a better scanner.
I'd really recommend getting a pelican case for either.
Thank you.
I own the trx-1 and the trx-2 and they both have lousy reception. Also the trx-1 has very weak audio even when volume is turned up
Audio isn't great, but I wouldn't say it's weak
Get a amplified external speaker
I have a ws 1080 the software is the same as this trx1. I also have a Bcd 436 hp it does dmr / pro voice/nxdn . Wrong home patrol to compare to the trx 1 to the bcd 436 hp is a better scanner. And the latest Uniden scanner the sds 100 blows the trx 1 out of the water. I don't like the interface on whistler scanners period. And sure I have custom scan list's and they work great. Uniden's scanners are far easier to set up. Whistler for the longest time if you programed by zip it would load to much. Making the scanner useless over loading it and you would pick up no traffic..
Front loading the TRX-1 with zip service programming isn't ideal. We're simply showing its capabilities. The HP-2 probably isn't the best scanner to compare to the TRX-1, but the point is to show the differences between Uniden and Whistler and you already prefer Uniden...this is for people deciding between Ford and Chevy for the most part.
Will the TRX 1 be ready to go out of the box for nxdn.
yes
Isn’t GPS merely an option for the HP?
As in only? No, the SDS100/200 are GPS capable as well. The TRX-1 is not.
dope
Thanks!
No comparison lol trx hands down homepatrol sucks forever I just sold mine and ordered a trx1
I DID this is Douglas Sam is just my nickname
also its out for delivery today so I'm getting it today I cant wait
: ) : ) : )
Great!
Hope you love it!
seeing that uniden in this vid with the trx 1 almost makes me wanna puke lol
Ha
Home patrol sucks. The single worst purchase I have ever made. I have purchased scanners that did not work at all and like them better.
Yeah, we recommend the TRX-1 over the Home Patrol-2 on here. What scanner did you get instead of the HP2 and how do they compare?
@stringbenderE2E My experience with my TRX-1 and with Zip Scanners is such, StringbenderE2E, that I feel you owe them an apology. I decided to program my own, and Zip Scanners was beyond helpful when they had no earthly reason to be. It's how they treat their customers, pure and simple. Go ahead, buy a TRX-1 from them; no way you'll regret it.
@@wlipman I just purchased a TRX-1 from them yesturday and it shipped out today! Got a great email (funny) telling me it shipped! They will be getting my business for all things radio from now on!! They also answered all my questions with in 2 minutes time through email. Top Notch outfit there running!!
