I'm curious to see if it fixes the P-25 simulcast reception problem.
Whistler to introduce Two new scanners with LSM demodulate, simulcast reception NOT a problem on the NEW Scanners.

I have never seen a Uniden US model for sale with no Cellular restrictions.
International, yes, with frequency coverage according to Europe or Australia rules. No GOV/totally unlocked model though. BTW, UPMan is the Uniden Product Manager for Uniden USA's scanner lines, so he probably knows more than you on the subject. Just sayin...
I am almost sure no with the exception of models for Australia. And the guy who replied to you will most definitely know. Also you seem to be confusing scanners with communications receivers AOR,ICOM, etc that have the ability to scan a wide range and have unblocked and or government models.Uniden doesn't offer International or GOV modes for sale ? because, any company that offers a GOV model usually gets them Sold on EBAY or Amazon.
I've added some pics I took today at Dayton of the new scanner, together next to my 325P2 and a Unication G5 for scale. The scanner is light and feels good in the hand. Audio is about the same as the 325P2. The display is fantastic and you can customize everything on it. It works the same as the 436/536 but is SDR based. Battery will be a drop-in lithium. They anticipate FCC approval very soon with shipments starting at the end of June. Includes P25, and optional purchase is DMR and ProVoice. NXDN will also be supported but not sure if right away. SDR also opens the possibility of more formats in the future, maybe OpenSky!
Analog Cellular, there is someone (likely Fed Agency), as there is a Signal but no discernable voice.
As to audio quality, audio power directly affects battery life, and using the same audio power amp found in a mobile scanner would kill the batteries pretty quick. And the size of speaker required for decent bass response wouldn't fit in a handheld. Given that everything under 300Hz is filtered out by the radio to make room for DCS/CTCSS tones, there's not much point in a speaker with bass response anyway. That filtering is what makes the audio "tinny", rather than a conspiracy by all scanner makers to make scanners with crap audio.
Saying the audio amp and the speaker size are to big is an excuse and a poor one at that.
All commercial radios have clip on battery packs just like Uniden use to do back in the day. If Uniden would stop using AA batteries and actually use a lithium ion battery pack like commercial radios then power wouldn't be an issue. No one likes to carry a 436 now because of the horrible battery life. Now they are going to put a full color screen on the new SDS100 and still use AA Batteries?
