PSR800	October 15, 2012
Reviewer: scannerboy from Tipton Co TN United States

I feel GRE did an excellant job on the PSR800 and I'd recommend it to anyone. PRO's: Freq range, full database available, software included.
CON's: channel scan time, learning curve for scanlist vs chan/bank design

Only had it 1 day so far...	September 26, 2012
Reviewer: Brian McGowan from Rotchschild, WI United States

and I am glad I made the purchase! I have for years only used Uniden or Radio Shack Scanners and none that I could not program!This time I decided to try the
GRE PSR-800 that seems to get good reviews all over the Internet.This also is the first time I ever made a purchase over $400.00 without seeing or touching the product at all!THANKFULLY SCANNER MASTER eased my mind and I made the purchase and had them set the Scanner up as well!Worked just fine right out of the box after installing batteries and seting the date and time.Nice crispy clean sound and I was pulling in all the things I did before the digital switch over and then some.Will be making more purchases from SCANNER MASTER in the future! I can easly recomend this portable scanner to anyone who's looking to buy a digital scanner.Just make sure you purchase it from SCANNER MASTER and have them program it for few $ more!Would have rated this 5 stars but have only had this 1 day as I stated at the begining of my review.

Very Good Scanner	March 7, 2012
Reviewer: trueblood6258 from beaumont, TX United States

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	January 23, 2012
Reviewer: Anonymous Person

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.

PSR-800	December 30, 2011
Reviewer: Robert Henry from Enfield, CT United States

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!	April 29, 2011
Reviewer: Lee W. from Rail Channel Field Reporter

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.
