According to the uniden web site your scanner can be upgraded by
flashing so your ok. For more info go he

Thanks Brian.The website says that if the services are on an EDACS
system then I'll have to reprogram.Most of my county and city services
are EDACS.Does that mean all I would have to do is find the new
frequencies and reprogram them into the scanner?

Yes you will still have to flash it with the download they will provide
and then reprogram with the new freqs.

Since rebanding only affects scanners receiving Mototola Type 2
systems on ~850 MHz, he can flash or not if all he's listening to is
EDACS.

Thanks Al.All of our emergency services use a countywide EDACS
system.Great,all I'll have to do is find the new freqs.
