Just look in the GRE Forum, those who have the GRE 500/600 there is a new software available DSP and CPU 1.2 firmware. Just released today from GRE. I'm about to download and give it a try.

U12 CPU/DSP Release Notes
A final release of PSR-500/600 "CPU F1.2" and "DSP U1.2" Firmware has been released.
============================================================
CPU Production Firmware Version 1.2 release notes:
- This is the user loadable version of the Factory 1.2 CPU firmware.
Will display as "uP Appl Ver:U1.2" after loading and is identical to the
factory "F1.2" load.
- Please use with DSP version 1.2 or higher, otherwise some features
may not operate properly
New features:
- Added brief ScanList tag and "ON vs OFF" display when toggling ScanLists
on/off. This is displayed for >= 500 mS, depending on how large the
toggled ScanList is
- Added find by lockout status F1:"L/Out" feature to the PGM EDIT FIND menu
for objects that have the permanent lockout set.
- Added a low duty cycle battery icon blink (200 mS on, 1300 mS off) when
battery charge is active (yellow vs black battery holder is not detected)
- Added a "Is Mobile" bit to remote control Get Status PC/IF command - bit 5
of byte 1 (the byte with the RF squelch, mute, and DSP pin states). This
will be described in additional detail within the updated user manual
- Added FUNC+F1 to Sweeper and Limit Search. Allows access to alternate function
that is not visible when a signal is being received (in Sweeper: toggles band;
in Limit: enters the Limits menu)
- Added within a TSYS object a "Check All CCs" option for MultiSite=STAT. If
selected, on every SCAN mode pass, will force a check of all CC frequencies
instead of stopping after the 'dwell' time expires.
Fixes / Enhancements:
- Improvements to P25 control channel message processing, particularly
on non-800 MHz systems
- Improved control channel hunt speed, should result in significant speed
improvements for MultiSite STAT and ROAM trunking systems with large control
channel lists
- Corrected an issue where, in certain programming configurations, custom
P25 trunking table information from one system could corrupt the stored
values for another system
- Fixed channel selection menus in channel-based search objects
- Fixed CTCSS/DCS menu items (malfunction when F3 is pressed)
- Fixed Sweeper lockup when moving from All Bands to Public Safety, with
certain combinations of "enabled groups"
- Changed default "EndtoneMot" value from 250 to 80. The value 80 is used
to correct squelch tails at the end of voice transmissions on narrowband
EDACS systems
- Corrected minor discrepancies in Motorola 3600 trunking 800 MHz default
and splinter tables
- Improved AM unmute delay to prevent audio pops when squelch opens on AM
transmissions. Uses current PGM FUNC GLOB "SweepAMDelay" parameter
[150 mS])
- Minor corrections to help text for "SweepAMDelay" and "SweepFMDelay"
- Fixed MultiSite=Stat mode problem, if active CC is the first one in the
TSYS control channel list it was never checked
- Changed GLOB menu's "default scan list" item to allow entries up to 22
(for Fav [Scan List 21] and SkyWarn [Scan List 22]), changed all areas of radio
operation that allow a numerical scanlist value to be specified to allow values
up to 22, allows Fav and SkyWarn to be specified as valid Scan Lists in
addition to the normal Scan Lists 01-20
- Fixed issue with EDACS CCDump in Analyze mode, and corrected the order of the
EDACS messages dumped within each two-message block
- Changed Mot 3600 Site ID display format (analyze mode) to decimal
- Fixed issue with CONV object delay time early expiration when priority check hits
- EDACS I-Call 00000 problem fixed
- Fixed blinking '000' in DCS Search mode menu item
- Fixed Sweeper "All Bands" group 9 text
- Fixed Sweeper line 1 display when toggling bands while "paused"
- Fixed up/down key in SCAN mode when stopped on Wx Priority (1050Hz detected)
- Fixed Private Call TGID display format in PGM menus
- Fixed P25 CC quality display percentage "%" formatting in analyze mode
- Fixed issue where a PSR-500 or PC application may not properly clone to a
PSR-600
- Improved Tune mode ability to properly detect and display EDACS-Narrow
control channel information
- Fixed source / target radio ID display for P25 user-to-user ("private") calls.
They were swapped previously. This is primarily a user interface issue,
and did not affect the operation of the scanner.
============================================================================
DSP Production Firmware Version 1.2 release notes:
- This is the user loadable version of the Factory 1.2 DSP firmware.
Will display as "DSP App Ver:U1.2" after loading and is identical to the
factory "F1.2" load.
- Please use with CPU version 1.2 or higher, otherwise some features
may not operate properly
- Improves P25 control channel message processing, particularly on
non-800 MHz systems
- Fixed control channel message processing issue that, on certain systems,
resulted in missed talkgroup calls
- Fixed control channel message processing issue that, on certain systems,
resulted in an abnormally low control channel quality % display, even in
areas with strong signals. ** Please note that if you use the TSYS
Multi-Site "Roam" mode, on a system where the CC displayed low quality
values, you may need to modify the "Threshold Hi" and "Threshold Lo"
settings to higher values for the Roam feature to properly work

Any opinions on this upgrade?

Well i download both CPU and DSP. Notice no change, except seeing more EDACS I-Calls coming thru. Also what Erik says about toggle between voice channel and control channel.WaveRunner said:

I've downloaded and it seems to run through my multi-site systems better. I have Arapahoe County in scanlist 1, Douglas in 2, Jefferson in 3, Adams in 4, Larimer in 5 and Weld in 6. It instanteously went from Thornton PD to Douglas SO right after the end of transmission whereas before it would take it's merry old time and not be able to go from one scanlist to another that quickly. Also, in my favorites I have every conceivable site in the area and all of the fire talkgroups programmed in. It scans through that MUCH quicker. I can tell because there are some sites in the system that I can't pick up so the "T" goes away momentarily when it goes over that site. Overall this update has helped me tremendously.

Interesting, not sure if that is good or bad? I just use the batterys(2 sets) and recharge them in different charger.abqscan said:

It blinks because it's charging... If you have the black case, set your battery type to Alk and it will no longer blink.
