Ok. there are 88 days until Christmas!

What is your Christmas wish for Scanner Accessories?

What SCANNER ACCESSORIES (only) do you wish we carried?
I am NOT making any promises that we will get them but I would really like to hear what it is you wish we carried. That way as we have our product development meetings I have an idea what you all are looking for.

Again, just looking for accessories at this time!

Happy Scanning!

Hello. Back in the day, GRE used to make 2 different external variable signal amplifiers (one for base scanners, and one for hand-helds), and also a 400 MHz downconverter for handhelds. They were powered by in internal 9v battery, but also jacks for external power as well. Seeing these available again might be nice. They were called Super-Amp, and Super-Converter if memory serves me well enough.

I would also be nice if a new GRE SuperAmp had an improved noise floor and worked below 100mhz.

Also have 2 of the base versions, been using them for years. Hopefully Whistler will consider making them again.

I agree. A pre-amp made specifically to the specs best for the TRX-1 and 2. I have bought three aftermarket ones, but it would be great to have one that was specifically made for Whistler scanners...

Another nod for the Super-Amp base model!

But my grownup Christmas wish is a quality external speaker with a modest bit of adjustable EQ.

I know this may not be doable, but here goes anyway. How about a firmware change that will eliminate (well, as much as possible) the issues many face with simulcast systems. If not a firmware change that could be released for the existing scanners, a new release with the necessary hardware to fix the issue once and for all. That would make many folks very happy and probably move many Uniden users to the Whistler camp.
