Intuitive "Object
Oriented" User Interface Design - Designed for ease of use,
yet powerful enough to satisfy the most sophisticated experts.
Common data entry, browsing and control methods are used for
non-trunked conventional channels, trunking talkgroups, search
configurations and Spectrum Sweeper setups. The radio grows with
you - you can start out
with a small, easy to manage configuration, then expand it
whenever you need to. |
3. |
Powerful and Flexible
Scan List Functionality – Allows you to arrange, group and
scan objects according to your preference, with no limit to the
number or types of objects in a Scan List, and no limit to the
number of Scan Lists an object can be a member of. |
4. |
Menu Driven Programming
with Context Sensitive Help - Each menu item provides a few
lines of help text that provide assistance with programming and
using the scanner. |
5. |
Upgradeable CPU and DSP
Firmware - You can easily keep your radio current with
software enhancements as they become available with free
upgrades from our website! |
6. |
Flexible Free-Form Memory
Organization - Memory is assigned as objects are created
using a sophisticated internal file management system. You are
not constrained to traditional bank/channel scanner memory
layouts. No memory is wasted as a result of bank/channel
programming constraints. The scanner has sufficient main memory
capacity to store over 1,800
conventional channels, trunking talkgroups, search
configurations and Spectrum Sweeper objects in any combination,
providing ample capacity for more sophisticated hobbyists and
professionals while keeping the database size manageable for
beginners. |
7. |
GRE's Exclusive V-Scanner
Technology - Allows you to save complete radio
configurations within the radio, for recall into main memory as
needed in the field. This is similar to having a laptop computer
and programming software available anytime. You can use
V-Scanners to store configurations for different geographical
areas or usage styles. Twenty-one V-Scanner Folders are
provided, each capable of storing over 1,800 objects. Total
memory capacity of
main memory combined with V-Scanners is over 39,600
(1,800+37,800) objects! |
8. |
Multi-System Trunking
- Scans most common trunked radio system signaling formats,
including Motorola, EDACS Standard, EDACS Narrow, LTR and P25
trunked radio networks. Talkgroup call and individual call
monitoring are supported. Supports trunking operation in
virtually any land mobile radio band, including 700 MHz and the
new Federal 380 MHz band! |
9. |
P25 NAC Functionality
- Much like CTCSS and DCS with analog signals, P25 Network
Access Code (NAC) is used to provide selective squelch operation
on conventional P25 digital channels. GRE's PSR-500 Advanced
Digital Scanner will detect the NAC that is being used on a P25
conventional digital channel, and will allow you to program NAC
codes to block transmissions that do not have a matching NAC,
including analog traffic on the same frequency! |
10. |
Remote Control Capability
- Can be used with third party application software to
remotely control the scanner from a personal computer. |
11. |
Exclusive ALERT LED -
Programmable tri-color LED can be configured to illuminate or
flash when certain objects are active. Eight user-defined colors
and brightness levels can be specified from thousands of
possible combinations. Provides visual alerts when certain
objects are active, e.g., blue can be used to signal activity on
a primary police call, red for fire, etc." |
12. |
Audible alarms -
Programmable audible alarms can be configured to sound when
certain objects are active. Can be used in conjunction with, or
separately from, the ALERT LED described above. |
13. |
GRE's Exclusive Automatic
Adaptive Digital Tracking - When monitoring Motorola and P25
digital systems, instantly adapts the digital decoder to the
digital modulation format of the transmitted signal, then
analyzes the digital signal 50 times each second and adapts to
any subtle changes caused by multipath or fading. No cumbersome
manual adjustments are required. |
14. |
GRE's Exclusive Digital
AGC - Instantly compensates for low audio levels that are
very common on digital systems. The radio is easier to listen
to, and provides you with a more enjoyable scanning experience. |
15. |
The Best Subaudible
Squelch Decoder in the Scanning Industry - CTCSS and DCS
subaudible squelch coding is processed by the same powerful DSP
chip that is used for P25 digital decoding. Provides fast and
reliable decoding of subaudible squelch signaling with squelch
tail elimination. |
16. |
High Speed PC Interface
- Uses GRE's 30-3290 USB cable in full duplex mode at 6 times
the speed of previous scanner models for PC transfer and 8 times
the speed of previous models for radio-to-radio cloning. |
17. |
Powerful Spectrum Sweeper
- Quickly sweeps the scanner's frequency ranges for
transmissions from nearby transmitters. |
18. |
Real-time Signal Strength
Indicator - Shows relative strength of received signals. |
19. |
Trunking Control Data
Output - Streams decoded trunking control data from your
PSR-500 to a personal computer for use with popular third party
trunking control channel monitoring software. No slicer needed!
Also streams NOAA weather radio SAME alert data! |
20. |
High Contrast LCD Display
- Provides one row of dedicated icons, and four rows of 16
characters for programming and scanning operations. |
21. |
SAME and All Hazards
Weather Alerting - GRE's PSR-500 Advanced Digital Scanner
can operate in dedicated SAME weather alerting mode, and alert
you to severe weather and other hazards in the specific area(s)
that you select, or, the scanner can check your local NOAA
weather frequency periodically, even while scanning, and alert
you when an All Hazards alert occurs. |
22. |
SKYWARN Storm Spotter
Functionality – Provides instant, one button access to
frequencies used by storm spotter networks. You can monitor
storm conditions as they occur, and become aware of dangerous
conditions before the media or emergency management officials
are able to announce them to the general public. |
23. |
Sleek, Compact Case
Design - Has a Large Speaker for adequate volume in most
environments, and is designed for one-handed operation for ease
of use. |
