Can anyone tell me if or when the Indianapolis area will be rebanded? I'm wanting to buy some more equipment but I don't want it to be useless in a few months or years. Thanks
Viper43 said:rebanding won't affect the scanning of the Hamilton Co EDACS, your old scanner will still scan that, only Motorola systems will not trunk properly with rebanding.

Buy the best you can afford, I would recommend digital scanners, but analog might be all you need or want.pliquett said:Can anyone tell me if or when the Indianapolis area will be rebanded? I'm wanting to buy some more equipment but I don't want it to be useless in a few months or years. Thanks
I would get the PSR-500 then, as that will program and act the same as the PSR-600, just in a portable, battery operated edition. Plus it will work with rebanding using tables, plus it has firmware updatability and will continue to work.pliquett said:Thanks for the update. I bought a PSR-600 about a month ago and love it!! I use ARC500 and programing has never been easier. I would like to buy a PSR-500 or BC396T but have looked at some older models on ebay. I just don't want to buy a PRO-97 and not be able to get the non-digital trunking.
