Are you sure they didn't say motorola type 2? Or did they confirm P25 phase 2

 

[KD4YGG]

Nope... this is in regards to P-25 Phase II, otherwise known as TDMA2...

Prince George County, Loudon County...

Excellent news - thanks Jeff !!!

Yes for sure P25 phase II they designed it that way all along per GRE rep.

I wonder why they didn't put that out when they released the scanner?

 

[Ensnared]

Well, this changes my mind a bit. I like to own scanners that don't become obsolete. I know that Phase II is a ways off, but still.

Not so far off as you think: http://forums.radioreference.com/co...nnounces-shipping-plans-p25-phase-2-tdma.html

So once cities go P25 phase II then my PSR-600 is useless ?

As of today, yes.

I think they meant X2-TDMA

Jeff, You might want to call them back and verify that it might just be X2-TDMA right now!

As of today, yes.

Thie is horrible news, I just got my Pro-197

 

[slatescan]

jeff will they do a press release for this? just wondering

 

[garikfox]

Just got this from GRE support.


Hi Gerik,

Thank you for contacting GRE.

During the transition, your city's system will likely have a mix of Phase I (FDMA) and Phase II (TDMA) traffic. The PSR-600 would be able to receive only the Phase I radio transmissions. It will not be able to receive the Phase II TDMA radio transmissions. If the system transitions to 100% Phase II TDMA, then the PSR-600 will not be able to receive any radio transmissions on that system.

Best Regards,
GRE Support Team

I am sorry to say GRE just confirmed that yes 500/600 will not work or be upgraded to work.;

Sorry.

How would one know if they landed on a Phase II TDMA system if it was program into the radio? If the PSR-800 can do a search.

more info I see some post refering to the two systems near DC area as Motorola’s X2 TDMA technology so I am told the scanner does this type system.

maybe that means for now there are NO TRUE P25 TDMA Phase II systems online as final specs arent out?
Well I am not sure about all this GRE just called I am to now say gre 800 does what called X2 TDMA but as far as P25 TDMA no because specs are final YET.

So what help me where and what is a X2 TDMA system.

Believe me I am sorry on all this think I let GRE take over from here.
I just passed on what they tell me.

I am now told above is wrong gre 800 does X2TDMA
