no big deal. remember something else, as there really aren't a lot of TDMA departments out there, it would be really easy to be monitoring someone and they were broadcasting TDMA and it may sound like encryption. As for the PSR 800 going for $800.00 I'm sure that price has or will be coming down. The unit sold for the same as the 996XT/396XT but when GRE tanked the value of the radio went up. Now that Uniden has something compatible coming out, I'd be willing to bet the cost of the PSR800 will come down. and I've heard the audio from the 436HP and it's pretty good.
