Plain and simple I purchased a GRE PSR-500 over 12 years ago, lost track of exactly when but it was shortly after release.
I live in Michigan so we had alot of agencies moving over to the new MPSCS Apco25 system. My county was an early adopter so it was shell out the money or SOL.
I recall paying $499 for the scanner without even batting an eye, I had to have one.
So $649 today might come darn close to the equivalent of $499 12+ years ago. And in my mind this is as revolutionary as the PSR-500 was back then.
My PSR-500 is still working fine and feeding my RR feed, definitely got my moneys worth with that scanner.
My hope is the new IQ technology will better decode the P25 signals that I do experience the issues with. Thus providing a higher quality and more complete feed to RR.
Also I just decided to call it an early Father's Day gift to myself LOL
This is my cheap hobby. My passion is metal detecting and I average purchasing 2 new machines a year. Purchased 2 new Minelab models since April costing me over $1600 so can't complain about $649 which "should" be my last scanner purchase for several years, unless the new Whistler's later this year hmmmm.
