Hi,

GRE released V2 firmware for the PSR-500/PSR-600. Check their website for specific information and download.

Upgrade done, only took a few minutes, I wasn't going to do it, but, it's there so I did it and I'm up to date.

 

[Eng74]

This is the same upgrade that they did for Pro 106/197 in April.

This is the same upgrade that they did for Pro 106/197 in April.

Is that the same one some folks said didn't contain many changes?

 

[rdale]

The short list of changes is right at the top of the download screen.

 

[GlacierClipper]

Udated 4 PSR 600's and 1 PSR500 took less than 30 minutes.

 

[W2GLD]

Though it's a rather limited update; there's always hidden items that the engineers fix as well and thus is cause for keeping up-to-date...

I just updated both of my units without incident this evening, less than 10 minutes out of my day.

Obviously does not work for my Canadian Version of the psr 500 scanner.

 

[zl2taw]

wonder if they are going to release an update for the 410 ?

New in version 2.0

• Pressing the ATT key during scanning while on a CONV object causes the object
to be stored to EEPROM immediately. This eliminates the possibility of the ATT
status change being lost due to a Priority check.

• Changed 154-156MHz range to accommodate Marine channels

• Added duplicate checking to conventional channels created via PGM NEW CONV

This update also causes you to lose 796 - 805 mhz. too, if it's the update I'm thinking just came out? Not all the PSR's or Pro-197's suffer from birdies in that range.

I guess I had not realized that there was a problem with the marine band coverage.

What did I miss, in that regard?

Upgraded my PSR-500 in about 10 minutes including download time. Can we reasonably conclude this may be the last upgrade for this series of scanners?

Does anybody know if this update will work on the pro-197 yet?

Thanks!

PSR firmware doesn't work on the PRO line.

Thanks R, hopefully GRE expands their update to include them.

RadioShack covers that. See the thread here

I saw this update but is there anything to confirm if it has the benefits as the GRE update for the PSR 600 ?

[K9WG]

So back to krokus's question. What has changed in the marine band? Does this have to do with the general frequency tune or the service search mode?
