Latest on GRE PSR900

[Sean Paul]

Morning all.

Well, a little more research on the GRE PSR-900 yielded me these results this morning.

The GRE PSR-900 will offer amazing capability along with easy of use. The expected frequency coverage is:  25-54, 108-136.99, 137-174, 216-512, 764-781.99, 791-798.99, 806-960 (excluding cellular bands) and 1240-1300 MHz. This radio comes with a 2GB SD card preloaded with US and Canadian public service frequencies. You automatically program your scanner by merely entering your zip code or city. It handles analog and digitals systems including APCO 25. One extremely interesting features of this radio is that the remoteable head. And it magnetically fastens the the head bracket! This facilitates vehicle installation and use. Other feature of this radio include:    Simple menu driven user interface.    Preloaded MicroSD card included.    Easy updating via Internet    APCO P25 Digital    Multi-system analog trunking (Motorola, EDACS and LTR)    CTCSS and DCS subaudible decoder    SAME Weather Alerts    Service search    User upgradable CPU firmware    Spectrum Sweeper Reminder ... the use of scanners (especially in vehicles) is restricted in some localities. We will post additional technical details, availability information, and pricing as soon as they are announced. This device has not been approved by the F.C.C. This device may not be offered for sale or lease or be sold or leased until approval of the F.C.C. has been obtained. The information shown is preliminary and may be subject to change without notice or obligation.

Also looks to me like it'll be touch screen driven which will not help us at all either. But, guess for now. We'll have to wait & see.

For anyone who wants to try their hand at it, here's a phone
number and email for GRE America. I have called them a few times
since 2007 encouraging them to include some kind of accessibility
in their new scanners, whether it be beeps, menus that don't rap,
or idealy, a speech chip that the user can buy and install like
the Kenwood models offer. I have in two words, gotten nowhere.
Anyway, here it is.
GRE America 650 591-1400 x 107 for Mike. email
mher...@greamerica.com Mike is one of the engineers there and is
also a ham though I can't come up with his callsign. I initially
talked to a person there on 08 14 07 re. making their scanners
accessible.
