After doing some research between a few scanners that i had in mind, well this one won out of the pack but not so sure - yet! I hope someone could give me assistance wit my problem in my area. I live in New Britain CT area and I be travelling to Bristol CT and the surrounding areas. Thru this website I learned that Bristol CT Police are now transmitting encrypt, which i can live with that but - when i try to program the PSR-800 for New Britain CT area - i see the town and all the sub categories and prog the scanner but i hear nothing. Then i noticed that under New Britain CT listing it says "One or more sites for this trunking system have gone through the 800 MHz rebanding process." and "Please visit the RR Wiki Rebanding page for additional information" how ever when i go to this site its in Chinese - i dont understand on how i would program the scanner so i can listen to the New Britain PD at least. other than that most of the town around here are conventional systems and therefore i think i bought an expensive door stopper cuz a reg scanner would of done the job just as well as this one.
Thinking on returning it to GRE if i wont be able to program my town - i used to own a pro-95 trunk scanner and it picked it up with no problem like 3 or 4 years ago. Then through forum and one not - i heard that police system /radios are going digital and thats why i advanced myself and bought this one cuz alot of scanners would become obsolete as the pro-95 did.
Any help would be appreciated - i mean its kool to listen to surrounding towns but its more exciting hearing your own town. I mean when you pass by a scene and see alot of cops and the works you wonder whats going on - in the past all i had to do is turn on the scanner and know whats going on - i missed that so i bought the psr-800.
I guess my question is this re-banding programming how do you do it? do i have to turn on some feature in the scanner? And please dont tell me to read the manual cuz im on my second week with this scanner and i must of read the manual from begining to end like dozens of times.
User in distresssssss please help. (with good news) thanks in advance
