Ahhh Owasso just rebanded and my Pro-97 is scanning them just fine.
It appears that the powers that be finally decided that rather than renumber the channels (which is how Mot systems assign frequencies), they'd just relicense stations in the Nextel squatting band to new pairs 15 MHz lower.
Since those channels already had numbers, voila, no major problems; just a (relatively) simple reprogramming of radios. This has certainly been the case on some of the minor system in Chicagoland.
As always, rebanding would never render EDACS and LTR systems "unscannable" by consumer scanners regardless of age, because they don't assign radios by channel number (they have their own list of slots and assign radios to those).
Likewise, I understand that P25 systems actually send the frequency to the subscriber units, so those are "immune" to rebanding too.
I still say this will stall before it's finished because Nextel will run out of money to fund it due to bankruptcy ... :lol:
