Got my GRE600 yesterday, and got it up and running today from my Win500 Pro-106 file.
Now I know my old Pro-96 could clone my old Pro-2096. (I no longer have either.) And I know the Pro106 and the Pro-196 can clone one another, as can the GRE500 and GRE600. My question is this; are these scanners similar enough to each other that my Pro-106 could clone my GRE600, and could a Pro-196 clone a GRE500? Without a computer and software. Just a cable with a 3.5mm TRS ("stereo") plug on each end, using the scanner's menu selectible functions.
Has anyone suceeded in doing this "cross platform" cloning?
By the way, I really like the GRE600, much better than the Pro-2096. I especially like all the additional information presented on the display, and the larger control knobs. If anything, digital audio is better too, although analog audio on Fleetnet sucks just as badly as ever. RF wise they seem all about the same though. The GRE600 went out of stock quickly. Thanks to the OP for advising us all of the sale. A good example of "You snooze, you lose!"

Got mine yesterday as well. Yes, the analog audio quality on Fleetnet is still just as lousy as on my BC796D but the digital sounds better.
But man, I'm really struggling to program this thing. I'm doing it by hand but my guess I'm so used to banks of channels. I can't get my head around scanlists and "object oriented programming".
I just want to put in the Mississauga tower in one bank/scanlist, King City in another, etc. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and get Win500?

Once you get a feel for it, it's not so bad. I really like the flexibility of the Object Oriented Programming and how you can combine talkgroups, conventional channels etc etc into any list you want.
If you want different sites in different scan lists, then you will need to make a separate system for each site, each with it's own scanlist (or lists). And yes, it's much much easier with software. Both Win500 and PSREdit have free 30 day trials. I prefer PSREdit myself, but definitely kick the tires on both and see what works for you.
Thanks Forts. I think I've figured it out and now have the device humming along with different trunked systems in different scanlists.
Probably my most favourite thing about this scanner is it'll track the Metrolinx/GO Transit system properly. My 796D can't.

I sell the PSR-600 for $400 brand new in box...
not as good as the clear-out sale but if anybody missed them its a cheaper option then other retail outlets.
