New GRE firmware follows DTRS patches

[rickak]

All,

Thought everyone would be interested in the new GRE 500/600 firmware that was released today. This firmware follows DTRS patches!

I've been waiting for a long long time for a scanner to do this.

And EDACS patches too. Finally......

What does this mean exactly?

 

[nathancarlson]

can this be used on the pro-106?

 

[pogbobo]

can this be used on the pro-106?

not yet, but in the near future after RadioShack, sorry "The Shack" :roll: gets their hands on it ... yes

What does this mean exactly?

good question, can someone explain this functionality?

The update works flawlessly on the State DTRS system. Now I can listen to a single troop without running Pro96Comm to figure out if it is patched or not. Troop 6A can now be heard every time I manually tune to to the 6A talkgroup. My PSR500 even shows "patch" on the display when a talkgroup is being patched. Thanks GRE!

So basically, when you hear, for example, 3C and 3A on a single TG, they are patched? So in that scenario, I would be able to only listen to 3c?

Yes for example if you log Lookout Mtn with Pro96Com especially in the late nights you will notice at least 4 or 5 CSP TG's from NE and Eastern Colo especially are patched to thereby reduce number of dispatchers needed in Lakewood.

Also an example the Poudre and Weld communications centers patch together their EMS and Fire talkgroups when they dispatch calls that involve both. Before, you had to scan both to hear all the calls, now you can just scan or even stay on the one talkgroup in manual mode.

Another great example Rick, Metcom does the same thing.

As they say it's about time!

For those of us with the Radioshack PRO-106 & PRO-197 we have to wait for the firmware update release from radioshack.

 

[rickak]

Appears Radio Shack released the new firmware today. Go to the product page on their website to download it.

Just updated my 106 and 197 both went smoothly. And notice it showed 6A CSP is patched.

Thanks for the link Luke. Does anyone know if you have some missing updates if you can just do the most recent and it will do the others or do you have to do each of them?

Updates are cumulative, you only need the latest versions to bring the scanner up to date.
