Hey UPMan - I'm confused by the 3/15/08 posting on the website:
Should I already be trying to generate an ESN (as per the post on the site) or is that software not yet ready????

At 2pm, at the press conference, he'll inform us that he did not, in fact, have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinksy. 
ok, ill admit, i didnt go through and read all 16 pages of this thread, but i have 1 quick question, is there a list, or does anyone have an idea what kind of "features" we will be able to buy?? i would like to buy more then 200 "tgid's/frequencies per system, i would also pay to have more then 20 group quick keys......

Nothing has been said other than there may be features in the future that you would have to pay for. No mention of what these features could be. Its anyones guess at this point. I do like the idea of more tg's.

Updates? Guess you need to get a GRE radio -- 2nd update in 6 weeks released today....:lol:
I bet that Uniden is really kicking themselves for ever mentioning this update in the first place...

That's what 1+ years without an update or peep will do I suppose.
It almost sounds like this update was assembled to counter GRE and their aggressive product development.
I have no idea how much product GRE is actually moving, but the timing of both companies is interesting.
Especially since the 396T firmware release has been pushed back.
We shall see, hopefully Uniden comes up with a really nice updated software set for the 396T.
I know I'd personally be willing to pay a reasonable fee for a greatly expanded feature set.

"Let's hope it's a good one..." With the hype, advanced notice, and now delay, there may be alot of people who are let down when they find nothing in the update that is useful to "them".... but I sure hope that not the case....

What's broken about the GRE radio that it needs 2 updates in 6 weeks?

The release 6 weeks ago was pretty major - fixing lots of little things (and probably one or more major to some folks) and adding a few new features. This update today, based on the release notes, didn't seem to have alot of stuff in it but I'm guessing it included more things that can help GRE troubleshoot when people report problems. After loading it, I didn't notice anything different (but I have noticed great improvements from previous updates).
Do you have Microsoft Windows Updates turned on? What do you notice when they patch your PC every month? You may not always see or notice what was fixed - GRE or Uniden (or Windows) - but it's good to know they're out there working for us.
