Due to the various scattered posts in the newly created Home Patrol threads, I thought I'd add one place where folks could predict, complain about or otherwise discuss the cost of the new radio. Mods feel free to close it, but I thought it might take some of the load off of the other threads.
My only other contribution is to speculate whether the database updates will be free of charge or if a subscription fee would be required?
I own a radar detector that includes a GPS to warn of red light cameras and other geographic warnings. The manufacturer charges $30 for three years of updates. Updates are also provided weekly.
I am also curious if database updates can be copied between radios or if they are somehow keyed/tied to a particular radio? If the database is contained within removable media, I wonder if it could be duplicated across several radios?
