This Group is dedicated to the PRO-96 GRE 500 Ch. TT3 Digital Capable Scanner.
The user interface and receiver are built around the very successful PRO-93/95 radios, with some significant enhancements:
500 ch. in 10 banks of 50 each
150 trunked IDs per bank, in 5 ID sub banks of 30 each
Users can perform "open mode lockout" - lock out undesired new or existing IDs while in open mode, a great tool for catching new talk groups!
It is now possible to perform manual ID hold without waiting for the talk group to become active.
The radio will track UHF and 800 MHz Project 25 9600 BPS Control Channel systems!
The radio will track all Motorola 800 MHz splinter system types
Users can now edit the Welcome screen, just like the PRO-92
Full FIPS/SAME NOAA weather radio capability, with 10 FIPS code slots
A new FRS/GMRS/MURS search range
A temperature controlled crystal oscillator (TCXO) is used to ensure frequency stability at all temperature ranges - very important for digital!
There is a revolutionary, patented scanner memory management system.
There are some control channel analysis tools that users will find very beneficial.
The radio will be a handheld scanner similar in size to a PRO-93 or PRO-92
DSP decoder system!
The radio is fully digital ready - there are no add on cards to purchase
The radio will decode any digital system that is compliant with Project 25 Phase 1 - essentially this means no VSELP, but all ASTRO IMBE and P25 digital modulation types are supported
No special quality settings are needed for different digital system types - you can scan different systems in the same or different bands simultaneously without changing digital quality settings
The cost is expected to be in the $499 range, and the radio is expected in stores around November 2003.

Posts to this group are expected to follow the Netiquette guidelines described in RFC 1855.
