So, just opened my GRE-800, batteries installed and charging, software installed, and I just finished downloading and transferring... *something* ...to the scanner! I'm not sure what, but I turned it on and was receiving something. Sounded like local PD.
This is my first venture back into scanning since my Bearcat 101 and Bearcat Handheld back in the 70's, and I'm looking forward to toying with the fucntions of the 800.
Anyway, the awesome part is that I don't have any questions yet! The software interface looks really complex, yet intuitive. I really like the layout at first glance.
I'm currently using some "Titanium PowPower 2300mAh Ni-MH" batteries. Is there a battery and recharger set that most agree is preferred, or is does it not really matter? (OK, there it is, my one question) Right now I'm recharging in the 800, and I've read where many folks advise against it.
It's crazy here in the household on Christmas Eve, this year it's our turn to celebrate Christmas on the Eve and all the family is here. I'll play around with this new toy a lot more in the next few days, and I'm sure I'll come up with a couple idiotic questions.
Apparently it's an ancient tribal initiation and we all have to go through it.
