PSR-800: updating to phase 2 firmware?

[torontokris]

have a couple new old stock psr-800 with original firmware. how to update to the U1.8 i believe the phase 2 firmware without ez scan
(edit oddly my used one says U2.0 does that seem correct I thought U1.8 was the last).

before i would just connect to the GRE ezscan and update.

same for the database i am reading the best way is by copying the WS1080 files, from PC onto SD card is this still the best way?

NOT looking for the whistler legacy update right now i am aware of that, and thank Whistler for providing. not looking for the hacked firmware either just the legit GRE psr-800 update

I thought I had the older updates backed up but once I updated the 4 if my PSR-800s, I think I deleted them. I'm sure someone will have them somewhere.

The EZScanDGUpdate_1.7.1.zip file says it's too big to upload.

 

[rgchristy]

These are all the files that I have. PM me if you need any of them and/or the updater file.

 

[torontokris]

Thank you the DSP was helpful. If anybody has U1.8 or U2.0 (didn't even think there was a 2.0) please share

The legacy update is the only factory update anything else is the hacked firmware.

This is what the hacked firmware files look like:

You can download the EZ Scan software for the PSR-800 from this link: GRE America Inc.

I know a PSR-800 is a P25 Phase 1 only just as the Radio Shack Pro-18.
The Radio Shack Pro-668 replaced the Pro-18 as P25 Phase 1 and Phase 2 only as I still own both.

The factory update is the way to go for those radios. I have both the RS and GRE versions and the upgrade improved.performance, especially on the local simulcast system. It also adds DMR but no NXDN due to lack of sufficient memory.

You can download it and run it but it no longer updates the firmware or database (unless you have a different experience). I was able to get the database copied but needed U1.8-2.0 firmware.

The GRE PSR-800 is phase 2 with the newer firmware.

The PSR-800 was originally Phase 1 only. A later firmware update converted it to Phase 2. You are correct that the Pro-18 is Phase 1 only, but can be updated to Phase 2 with the Whistler Legacy Upgrade.

I did not remember that I guess because the Pro-18 got left out. Still the new update would be better from older post.

Send it to whistler for the legacy update.....makes it a WS1080. that uses the still supported ezscan for the ws1080.

It will also add DMR.

Bingo
The PSR800 was Phase 1 only when released. GRE released a Beta s/w version for Phase 2 later. I used it to upgrade mine. The later RS Pro668 version had Phase 2 stock.

I thought I had that Beta s/w but can't find it yet.
