Will anything from RS even survive rebanding???


Since no one (not even Motorola) knows exactly how rebanding will end
up, no one can know what scanners can or can't survive it.


My comment was based on this statement on the Grove site:

Getting The Most From The New Uniden Scanners
by Paul Opitz

"The major impact of rebanding will be on all Motorola analog using the
BC-235/245/895/780/250D/785D scanners and P25 systems using the
250D/785D scanners. The fore mentioned scanners cannot be used when
rebanding plan is implemented and cannot be flash upgraded. The
customer will have to buy a new scanner to monitor any system that
changes frequencies due to rebanding. "
