discussed in its own section. From this screen you can select and manage
the transmissions you listen to as well as set the framework for how
HomePatrol operates (volume, backlighting, squelch levels, etc.).

listening to. Tap on the screen to select an item. Submenu pop-ups allow other actions for systems, departments, and channels. Various control and
navigation buttons and status icons round out this screen.

Favorites list overview
As you listen to HomePatrol, you’ll find that there are certain channels
you want to listen to. You can create a specialized list and save these
channels to it. For example, you can create a list entirely of police
department dispatchers, emergency operations, or a specific city’s
transmissions. If there is a special event coming up, like a car race, you
can create a list just for that event.
Once you have Favorites Lists saved on HomePatrol, you can copy
them to HomePatrol Sentinel on your PC. If you need to reset your
HomePatrol, you can restore your Favorites Lists from there. The
HomePatrol Owner’s Manual provides details on how to do this.
