Thank you Whistler for offering the upgrade for GRE scanners!

Doubt this will be seen by Whistler, but I would like to thank them for offering the upgrade for Grecom scanners. I haven't used my scanner in years, and went to use it the other day. Obviously it wasn't working because I needed to update the firmware and library. When I came here to do that, I saw the posts from Whistler about the upgrade option.

I sent it in, and in a week and a half, got it right back. Now it's working like brand new. Small price to pay to have a working scanner again vs. the amount of money it costs for a new trunking scanner.

Thank you, Whistler for supporting these "legacy" scanners.

Whistler upgrade

Good P.R. and well worth the cost just for the DMR alone.

My Pro-18 got a lot more than just DMR! Almost all the functionality it lacked in native form (vs the PSR-800) was restored to it. And my Pro-668, which was as deaf as a post from new, came to life and now is a valued piece of my scanning arsenal.

Thanks indeed, Whistler.

I wonder if they would put new housings on them if requested? My PSR800 is way past well worn.

Give them a call or drop an e-mail...worst thing they could possibly say would be "no." Or maybe they would just sell you the case halves.

You pay the $120 for the "Needs repair" option on the upgrade page. Then you can get it repaired and upgraded.

Has anyone outside the US sent their scanner(s) in for an upgrade ?

Would current WS 1065s have the correct firm ware and updates already installed? How would I prove I purchased a Wistler scanner from an authorized dealer if I needed to approach a 3rd party for the update info.

Basically, I am wanting to find the best deal on a new/used/refurbished WS1065/PSR600/Pro197.......any ideas? Thanks!!
