We've been planning this launch to occur at Hamvention 2016 for many months, but it looks like the cat's out of the bag! We're pleased to go ahead and make this exciting announcement today.

Interesting. Maybe with this you will see both manufacturers up the game and develope more modes. Won't hold my breath but looks like competition is here people wanted.

That's exactly what you are looking at.

The great scanner war of 2016.

Since the upgrade will be given to the WS1080 for free. I wonder if that upgrade will apply to the Pro668 also. After all they are virtually the same including the software.

Ditto, and I'd be tickled pink if a firmware upgrade were available for the Pro-668.

Looks like I got to launder some more funds in the household black budget.

I'm really curious what this TRX looks like.

Please let the new scanners have a better multi site capability like the old GRE-500/600. The software restriction for sorting, copy and paste etc is one of the reasons I'm selling my Whistlers. I'm happy for Whistler.

Since they are introducing 2 new radios, I wonder if the internal circuitry was updated to receive LSM (simulcast) P25 better? There's no mention of this in the press release but it would make sense.

And does the radio un-mute DMR trunking with RAS implemented like the Unidens?

They did mention support for Linked Capacity Plus which is multi-site Capacity Plus so they may have.
