Hi Fireant, and all....

I'm afraid that I am too concerned about this issue. I have a feeling that GRE/RadShack will either support rebanding with a send-in (like the Pro-96 issue that I also was involved with) or maybe they have this time included a flash upgrade (from lessons learned from the Pro-96 issue) with the Pro-97. I must admit that I have owned alot of radios in the past 20 years and I prefer GRE made radios (especially with Starrsoft). My main radio target is aviation (both civ and mil) and I think that GRE has a better receiver in that area than Uniden. Although I feel that Uniden has the edge over GRE on trunked systems (except digital) but that's another story. There are things I like about both brands to be honest, and that's what keeps the hobby alive (and me broke [just kidding]). :shock:

Anyways, a good topic here for GRE/Radio Shack to answer.... and I hope they do just like Uniden is.

The PRO-96 and 2096 support the new tables. Just reprogramming should be involved. If the '95 and '97 also support 6 tables, they too should be fine.
