Does anyone know if the PSR-800 firmware for the DSP & CPU can be rolled back to the factory defaults or are you stuck with the version you have when you do the updates? I have been having issues with the Michigan state P25 system. At my house I have been getting garbaled audio for the last month or so. Didn't seem to have this issues when I first got the scanner but now its every day. I have been keeping up with all the updates as they come out... Over the weekend I barrowed another PSR-800 in the same serial number range as mine and it's never had any updates done to it and side by side the loaner works fine. The reason I ask is I would just like to try going back to the original firmware version to see if that is the issue or if it is something else that would require a trip back to GRE service. I am in a high RF area with a cell tower 1 mile to the west and another less than a mile to the south. At work it seems to be fine but at home I have the problem. Both my scanner and the loaner were both programmed with my file and all setting are the same.

I would tend to believe it's the high RF causing the issue. I have the latest firmware on mine and I'm not having any unsual issues with the MPSCS here.

Mike, do you know if you can go back in firmware versions just to test? Another PSR-800 is working fine along with a Pro-96 and a BCD396XT with no issues. I know with other GRE scanners you could load older versions.

I would start a ticket and ask GRE.

They are pretty quick with answers

Not that I'm aware of. The updates are done through the included software, not with the stand-alone updaters like other models.
