The radio is big and looks and feels like a true communications-grade receiver, such as an ICOM costing thousands. The jump to an alpha Uniden scanner is quite a step up at $529.95. The lack of alpha is more than made up by the great price of the radio, $216.95.

The one feature it lacks is an alpha-numeric display, but with software you can see the corresponding alpha tag to a frequency or talkgroup on your PC (see ARC898). The Bearcat 898T is an outstanding base radio, actually the only scanner sold today that is truly base station size. If you would like to participate in this testing, please email in the box: Once testing is complete, the firmware will be made available for download at at no charge to customers. When properly configured, the custom band plan will restore trunking operation on rebanded Motorola systems.

GRE is pleased to announce that we have finished development of a free firmware upgrade that will allow customers to configure the PSR-300 and PSR-400 with custom 800 MHz trunking bands. The PSR-300 and PSR-400 are not able to receive rebanded Motorola 3600 baud control trunked radio systems that previously used frequencies in the 866-869 MHz range before they were rebanded. GRE is has received reports of PSR-300 and PSR-400 radios used in areas of Utah that are no longer able to follow rebanded 800 MHz systems, including sites in the UCAN network. And yes, I am a Licensed Ham Radio Operator.Īlso in the pictures are a 1970's era Radio Shack DX-150A Short Wave And Ham Radio Receiver that still works, and actually has a Metal Cabinet Casing like all of the older great Communication Gear.Īlso seen is a cheap plastic case Radio Shack DX-394 Short Wave and Ham Radio Receiver, which is basically nothing but Junk in my personal opinion only.ĭetailsUpdate on the status of rebanding-capable firmware for the PSR-300 and PSR-400 I use all my 2 Meter and Dual Bander Rigs for scanners only. The ADI 2 Meter Rig and the Yaesu Dual Bander Hand Held Units are powered both by AC And backup DC Power. I also have back up power for the Kenwood 271 2 Meter Rig, The Icom 2100 H 2 meter rig, in addition to the Radio Shack HTX 242 2-Meter Rig and the Yaesu Dual Bander. The gear on the bottom row is a 12 Volt Gel Battery which powers my AC Powered Scanners Only if a power failure happens, in addition to my Icom 707 HF Rig, My Kenwood TS-570D HF RIG. I'll be showing you pictures and a video soon of that setup. I also have a Radio Shack 2040 which I have hooked up in my Ford Escape. Then theres my 3 Realistic 2006 Scanners,my Uniden BC95 xlt 200 Channel Uniden, A Uniden Bearcat 235 Trunk Tracker, My Uniden Bearcat 245 XLT Trunk Tracker, and last but not least the latest edition to my Radio Collection, the GRE PSR 300 Trunker & Conventional Scanner, which works Fantastic. Then the Radio Shack 2050 Trunk Tracker,I have another 2050 Scanner which is not posted on the site because I lent it to him, [ trying to convert him into becoming a Scanner Listening Enthusiast.
