Word of warning - GRE PSR800

Post by Longreach » Sat Jun 04, 2016 10:15 pm

G'day all,

As we all know Whistler has now offered new CPU and DSP software for the WS108x and 109x series scanners to enable TRBO monitoring.

I can assure you the mod WON'T work for the PSR800's and you'll end up with all sorts of problems with your radio, bricking has been mentioned. Mine was not trunking at all.

Having spent the past couple of days getting one of mine back going again, I thought i'd share that with you all.

The furthermost software you'll get into them and still working is CPU V2.0 and DSP V1.3(even though it will accept v2.1 DSP). The new CPU is V2.8 however if you go to load it the scanner will delete the old firmware and then come up with an error. You'll then have to go find the old GRE firmware. It seems it didn't like the V2.1 DSP even after accepting it.

Cheers
