$699.95? Ouch!! o_O

Hopefully that's an MSRP and that dealers will be selling it for less.

Would like to get one, but at that price it ain't gonna happen.

I was just informed that the price will be $499.95, shipping in June 2015 at the HAM Station. I think shipping from Jeff is like $15 additional

I agree. After the past year with a flurry of scanner releases, I think this one will be the last new scanner release for a while.

Looking forward to getting this machine. Love the 800 and this one I can set up as a base with something more than a portable antenna.

Pre-ordered the 1095 from Jeff at Ham Station for $499 yesterday. My wife said, "another scanner"?
I said, "yes." She knows me too well after almost 40 years.

You do know the Phase 2 decode is not even fair on the GRE,radio shack and Whistler due to the fact the firmware is beta.Phase 1 it does a great job!

The phase 2 firmware is not beta... the psr-800 1.7 was beta.. the 1.8 was the full version.

Whistler I believe is into 2+

That's amusing, the "beta" phase 2 decode on my Pro-668 is the only reason I have it, as it decodes P2 better on a system in my area better than any of the Uniden scanners I own.

Looks like the 652 in my shack will be pulled soon to be replaced by a 1095 :)

It's not Beta, but even if it was, it DOES decode p1 or p2 clearer, cleaner, and just plain better than any uniden radio made to this point. I know because I have most of them. Looking forward to the 1095.
