PSR-500 and PSR-600 Pre Release (Continued 2)

[fmon]

Here is the link to the PSR-500 Owners manual: http://www.greamerica.com/download/manuals/PSR-500V1.9_Manual.pdf

Happy Scanning!

Guess everyone is loading the page, it won't load with FireFox or IE for me.

With the final version of the manual released, I think we should start fresh, again This will take us up to the post-release thread..

Page 12 of the manual:

Our engineers decided that an entirely new method of programming and controlling scanning receivers was needed

God forbid they actually ask consumers what they would like .. :roll:

Why-O-why is it so hard to get an HT radio with a discriminator tap?

Hello,

No issues downloading full manual here. Lots of material to study. Easier if unit in hand.

I wonder, did they keep that insane way of programming alpha tags? ... did not like that at all when I got my pro97 ... thank goodness for programming software with that mess ...

That's interesting, because I thought that the "pro-97/96" way of doing alpha tags was easier and faster than the "knob" method... I guess it shows that everyone has diffrent opinions about everything.

Christmas, phase one... phase two comes when we get our radios. Great looking manual--I love color. It reminds me of a Saturn car Owner's Manual. All printed up and ready for bedside reading.

All in all .. it seems like they took the time to make a very verbose manual for the user.

From page 57:

We also suggest that you visit RadioReference at www.radioreference.com, where you can discuss the PSR-500 with other owners!

yay!

I guess I have to sorta take back the comment about no discriminator tap. Page 119: CCDump

It will dump P25, Moto3600, EDACS Wide and Narrow, LTR and SAME.

hrmmm.

Todd I may be wrong last I heard no print manual with scanner ONLY PDF file on disc.If that changed I willmake correction.

 

[KC9NEG]

Jeff, I meant I have one printed up here and ready for bedside reading. If GRE isn't shipping a paper manual, I think that's a great move. Including one would result in a huge box or very small print, plus heavier shipping weight.

Love the reference to RR! I haen't had time to look into the manual in detail yet (still working--yuck).

You are right and I have confirmed no print manual just to large.

 

[fmon]

Jeff, that link is overloaded also. Harry M uploaded the new manual to Yahoo http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PSR-500/files/

Wow, guess they didn't anticipate that much interest

 

[KC9NEG]

Hehe I told them we were all eager to get up to speed before we got our radios

I've searched the manual a few times but can't seem to find a way to divide talkgroup or conventional objects into "groups" smaller than a scanlist. If true, this seems a little odd and a bit of a step backward.

You can't. It's scan lists, a favorite list and that's it.

It's not backward since when has GRE done something more advanced than what they are now? They took a different approach to what Uniden is doing. You can't be a competitor and duplicate their design; that's just not right. What isn't backward is direct object ID access to every TG, system, search list, stalker search and service search unlike Uniden.

 

[jehm1212]

I'm not suggesting that they have to copy uniden, just use a little of what they've used in the past. Right now, I make good use of ID sub banks on trunked systems on my Pro-96. I guess I'll just have to get a little creative. One of the great things about the OOUI is the ability to be very creative and have such dynamic setups.

Downloaded the Manual

By the time I got home I guess the rest of you had the manual, so I had no problem with server capacity. And the main reason for this post is to be able to subscribe to this thread. Posting is the only way I know to subscribe to a THREAD.
