Also, I see they list it as EDACS "system key". It's actully EDACS "security key".
PS- In searching I did find the users manual for the 898T 8) I also just relized that the info won't be there until it is granted.  |
"Uniden / Bearcat has applied to the FCC for a license to build a scanner that will track the ESK."
You mean applied for Type Acceptance? |
Or they applied to M/A-COM for a license to add ESK to their scanners. It's M/A-COM who holds the rights to it, not the FCC, and it's M/A-COM who will grant or deny them a license to use the proprietary format. The FCC has no say over what formats scanners can or cannot incoprporate. It's not part of type acceptance.
However, I would hardly call a one-line statement with no supporting data credible evidence. Yes, there is a link to Uniden's MAIN web page (
www.uniden.com). So what? That doesn't add any credibility. I can make a statement and add a link to the FCC page. That doesn't mean that the FCC (or in this case, Uniden) supports any statement made by any third party. If it were a link to a Uniden page that confirms the statement, that would be different, but that is not the case here.
