OK. Now more questions. Is it hospital traffic that you want to hear or communications with EMS etc? If it is just the hospital traffic like maintenance and inter hospital communications and Security then it COULD be low power with no repeaters and not readable unless you were very close. If it is hospital to EMS, ambulance, and paramedics then you would have to have to have service types like EMS Dispatch, EMS Tac, EMS talk, to name a few. Also, have you written the latest database to the HP-1 like 10/3/11 and what hospital are you talking about and what zip or city etc? The more information the better.
