About HomePAtrol

HomePatrol is a unique public safety receiver that can quickly monitor
local agencies based on your location. Its intuitive screens lead you
through initial setup so you’re listening to your world as quickly as
possible.
HomePatrol operations center around the “Main screen;” this screen is
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.).

mAin Screen

This Main screen is where you’ll be spending most of your time. It displays the system, department, and channel name of the transmission you are
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.
