So I'm rooting through my closet & find my PSR 800 scanner. I was an early adopter & had trouble with the face plate paint.....more on that later. I decided to send it off to Whistler for the upgrade. I got an email from them on 6/3 saying they received my scanner. Their update page says turn around time for the upgrade is 2-3 weeks. This morning @ 10:31, I receive another email saying the scanner has been shipped. I guess they are not so busy.
Back to the face plate problem. I wasn't aware that GRE was sending replacements & decided to try to fix it myself. Couldn't use carb cleaner, that would probably melt the plastic. I ended up with Hoppy's #9 (used for cleaning guns) & it took the flat black paint off, didn't hurt the plastic, I had an 800 with a gloss black face plate. Looked great & still looks great.
For those who have have the upgrade, are there any other benefits aside from DMR? Improved P25 reception? Improved battery life?
Thanks,
Bob
