recently bought one as I heard its a great conventional/analog scanner. My questions are the following-i noticed the scanner doesnt support the i-call feature,is this right??I saw it listed on a website that it does=does software open this option up?Also,the display sometimes is blank when powered on? This cant be normal!! anyone else experience this? Do I have to return it?

From the RR Wiki

__________________________________________________ __
GRE Scanners
The PSR-500 and 600 sets I-Call as a Private Wildcard in the menu
The PSR-300 and 400 cannot receive I-Calls
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If there is a usual welcome screen text when you turn the scanner on then it would be abnormal for it to be occationally blank when turning it on.

found out the answer. when doing the firmware update there must have been an error because I wasnt getting a welcome screen,just arc300 psr300 when powering on after 2 hours of occassionally turning it on the screen came back and I re-initialized the scanner and the welcome screen came back. all works fine now.
