AES might be your best bet, they show inventory in all stores. Don't know about shipping to Canada but I don't know why they would not.
Please everybody dont spend 600 bucks for the GRE PSR 800 it is not worth it. This scanner chews up batteries like there is no tomorrow. I bought one of these radios a year ago and sold it 1 month later. I paid about 425.00 for the radio and it still was not worth it. Now scanner master has them for 600.00 bucks what a rip off.
Please everybody don't let this highway robbery to keep continuing. Just wait for a while and there are going to be some new models coming down the pipe soon this year. Dont get me wrong I love GRE and I have the GRE PSR 600 and the Radio Shack Pro 106.......
These prices are just way to out of control. You will pay 600 bucks for a scanner and you will go through batteries like crazy. I even bought really expensive batteries and a really high end commerical grade charger which helped but not much.....
And also it does not come with any batteries and neither an A/C power cord either. What a rip. Also you will have to spend another 20 bucks for a better antenna too because the stock one sucks.....
I disagree. I love my 800. I get long battery life. Works great. I recommend it. I also like the BCD396XT so I am not just a GRE guy.
. . . I have owned both so there is nobody out there that can dis-agree (sic) with me. . . .

I spent huge bucks on buying POWEREX batteries and a commerical grade charger and maybe got 4 to 5 hours max maybe if I kept the light disabled and alet LED lights and sometimes less. I even read on the forum about changing the voltage settings and it did not help. Also, had to have GRE ship me a new faceplate because the paint wore off in the first couple of hours programming the new scanner. On my PRO 106 with the same POWEREX batteries I get 12 to 15 hours with no problems and sometimes more depending on the life of the batteries. Thats a real radio hands down.
Trust me I have owned both so there is nobody out there that can dis-agree with me. Just save your money for a new updated one coming soon.

Well, I consider myself one of the bigger critics of the 800's battery life, because for the longest time, I couldn't get more than an hour or two out of the radio, regardless of the battery type, length on charge, backlight settings, volume level, or any other variables. However, as of firmware 1.8, I finally seem to be able to last at least a "day" (~12 hours) of use. So those of you above who are upset with battery life, update to the latest firmware & DSP, and give it another shot.
