I just got my PSR800 back from GRE after warranty repair. This one had the antenna connector come loose after just a couple weeks of use. Careful what you connect to this BNC, it's not very hardy. The center pin is soldered directly to the PC board and can easily break free. There's no easy way to re-connect it. The area is covered with shielding. GRE commented on the return sheet that they did some glueing too. Turnaround time was two weeks.
They also updated the CPU and DSP firmware to what they just released. Anyone happen to know if GRE has added some of the older Motorola digital modes? I seem to be hearing some things that weren't there before. Just an observation.
I also downloaded and installed their newest verion of their PC software. No problems using Windows 8. Recommend to those that are running 8 on a newer multi-processor PC and are having trouble, try going into windows power control and turning the CPU clock down to 40% and locked so that it goes no higher. Your system may just be running the software too fast. It looks like GRE designed this software for smaller systems.
Have fun.
