[Scan-DC] Home Patrol 1?

[Larry Van Horn]

As one who has done extensive testing on the HP-1 (I had one of the original 
factory prototypes right after the Uniden Open House last year), yes, it is 
a super travel scanner.
And as Andrew has rightfully pointed out, GRE has their new competitor for 
the HP-1 - the PSR-800 out now.

In fact, I just got the final review for edits that we are doing for the 
April issue of Monitoring Times from Bob last night. While I can't share the 
whole review (I do like my job eh), one of Bob's observations was "The 
overall performance of the new GRE PSR-800 is truly remarkable." Given Bob's 
lack of love for the newer tech advanced scanners in recent years, that says 
a lot. ;-)))

Yes, they carry both the HP-1 and the GRE-800 at Grove.
