Completely Banned for the Greater Good
Sorry about that, not really technologically minded, but maybe "Firmware" would be a better term which I thought was the hardware of the thing but I guess it isn't.
The point being they are upgrading stuff as you go along which is something new and progressive when compared to back when I got into scanning. This allows all sorts of fixes and goodies as time goes by theoretically at least.
No biggie Hardware is things like ICs and components. Firmware is embedded operating instructions that the manufacturer installs on flashable components. Software is all the programs and data that make the whole shebang work.
Yes, scanners have certainly come a long way, and it looks like Uniden may make these winners after all if the users confirm that the latest firmware update addresses the issues they target!
