I've been two days and probably four+ hours trying to determine whether or not, if I buy a new 536HP today, does it include the upgrade fee for DMR, or do I have to pay to make that work? Same question for the Whistler TRX-2, as I will likely buy both (I've spent hours reading people's comparisons and it seems that both radios have their pro's and con's). I sincerely apologize if this is clearly stated somewhere, but I do not see anything so far. If the answer is no, are these new(er) modulation types so unique that they aren't included from the factory? I.E., it would make the cost too high due to royalty fees?
Lastly, can I buy these from Amazon ("sold by and ships from Amazon") and expect to get current versions, and not some old refurb?
I got my first scanner in ~1971, and back then, things were much simpler and clearer. My last scanners were a Radio Shack TRS96 and a Uniden BCD-796D and it's equivalent hand-held. So it's been over 20 yeas
I will cheerfully accept links to threads with this info. Oh, one last thing - I joined RR a long time ago with an email address that I can't remember, so I just created a new account today.
