Very Good Scanner |

The only weak point of this radio, is the batteries drain is very fast. There needs to be a software fix to this problem. Other than the fast drain on the batteries, this is a very good radio. Good signal, and reception is great. Very good sensitivity. Programming in relativily easy with the software on the PC. I would recommend this to a friend or to anyone who enjoys listining to the public service industry.

Exceeded My Expectations |

This is the "iPod of scanners." Programming it from your PC is easy. The menus guide you through the various agencies, businesses. Configuring is as easy as clicking what you want and it's much easier to name your lists and sets. The PC software program handles everything from programming, updating and the library. It's a real plus to be able to use the RadioReference database. It allows you to program any agency from anywhere in the US or Canada and many businesses, too.
The scan list and scan set configuration is ingenious. You can put your local police, sheriff's dept. and state PD into separate scan lists. Then you create a scan set that scans those three lists.
I loaded rechargeable batteries (you can charge them with the USB) and get 4-6 hrs. of run time. I put a W-889 antenna on and improved the performance.
If you aren't computer literate, this may not be for you. If you are, this thing is a dream.

I have nothing but great things to say about the radio, except! the paint coming off the front faceplate. But GRE replace it in 4 day of contacting them! With rechargable batteries I get 8hrs. till the batt. alert starts then about 20mins. till it shuts off and lighs and led going so I hear that is good on RR. I say buy two I'm getting another in the middle of Jan 2012!

PSR-800 is a Great Scanner! |

I just wanted to let you know how much I love my new GRE PSR-800. With your PSR-800, I have programmed all of the railroads with their Names, Channel Numbers, and their Frequencies. When I'm working on a story about a railroad, I just select that railroad from the scan list The best part about the unit is it's ability to record. It logs the Railroads name, channel, the frequency, everything that was said, and it also puts a time date stamp on it. I can even buy a bigger memory card and increase the record time and I can plug the unit into my computer, and it will download all of the recording onto my laptop, and I can play them without any special software. Also, it has a discriminator output, so I can plug it into my computer and monitor ATCS in real time. How cool is that? It's the best scanner that I've ever seen, and it receives better than most of the portable radios that the railroads use. The Best part is, it fits into the palm of your hand, rather than a Backpack.
