GRE releases major firmware update for GRECOM PSR-800

Jan. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- Belmont, CA, – General Research of Electronics at the 2012 International Consumer Electronic Show, intro’s a radio scanner and new “Set-location” firmware that’s easier than ever to use.

GRE America introduces a number of firsts in radio scanners with the new GRECOM Digital EZ Scan scanner and version 1.5 firmware.  This scanner:

1)                 Uses patented technology to permit programming by simply selecting what you want to hear, no need to be a radio system expert.

2)                 Works in areas supported by the vast majority of APCO P25 digital as well as analog and conventional public service radio systems.

3)    It allows the user to listen to desired communications without PC or internet programming because everything is already in the scanner.  The Digital EZ Scan scanner includes a 2GB MicroSD card with the entire US and Canada database of trunked systems and popular conventional frequencies so customers can monitor popular local police/fire and emergency frequencies right out of the box.

4)   This Radio scanning receiver comes ready to program by the consumer for any USA/Canada location.  No longer must users become radio system experts to enjoy the scanning hobby.  And this scanning receiver can be updated with the latest database at any time by a simple PC connection.

In the past, scanning your local police, fire and emergency services required that you know the radio band used, radio system type and required an understanding of the programming protocol and programming method for your scanner.  To further complicate things, programming methods varied not only between scanner brands, but sometimes even within a brand.  Every scanner hobbyist had to become an expert to program his scanner.

With introduction of the EZ Scan Digital scanning receiver and our latest Set-location firmware, programming is as simple as entering your desired Zip Code or selecting your location, and accepting the default programming for police, fire and emergency services. Everything is stored automatically – the scanner does all the work – usually in a couple of minutes.  Wayne Wilson, Executive VP for GRE says, “It is very much like programming an MP3 player, that is, if you could buy an MP3 player with every song already loaded.  The iPod equivalent is just selecting the genre or performer you prefer.  Our new scanner also permits you to enter any favorite frequencies that are not already in the database.  Radio scanning has never been so easy!”
