And before anyone jumps on them for only having 3 scanners listed let's give them a chance.

There are 6 scanners listed. Update servers are still down as well as the ability to download apps.

And before anyone jumps on them for not having links to downloads or updates, let's give them time and a chance to get fully up and running

Goliad Products, LLC, was formed on December 16, 2024. So only 2 months old. Appears was formed for the reason of acquiring Whistler.

It will be interesting to see if they continue to offer the legacy upgrade.

Of greater interest than investing resources in a 17 year old scanner (GRE 800) is whether the investors will invest the money to produce a competing line of scanners against the Uniden SDS100/200!

i sent an email asking if they will have the servers online, i will let yall know if i have an answer!
i know they are rebuilding, and know it will take time, so i know we wont be mad if they take a bit ti get re set up.

Maybe it's the exact same people from Whistler running the Goliad business and they just wanted it to be a Limited Liability Company to have their backs covered? Perhaps Whistler told their debtors that either we file for bankruptcy and you get paid very little or you reduce your claims by 50% and extend the due date by 6 months and allow a takeover from Goliad to allow revenue to be generated.

They also only show scanners, and no other Whistler products. Did Goliad only buy the scanner side of things?

Not the same people. Key word: was.

Great news.
Hope people will be patient and give the new owners time to get things up and running.

Great news indeed. I saw the news on Facebook this morning !

I would not get too excited about this. What are they going to sell? All they would have are old products. Where will they get new scanner technology products? Who will work on any firmware updates etc.? How about repair? We can all hope for the best, but unless they are investing quite a bit of money in a somewhat static hobby, don’t expect much.

 

[buddrousa]

Lets give them a chance and see where they go and what they offer. Both products and services.
If I remember correctly, Escort Radar Detectors came from Ohio.
