GRE PSR-310 Analog Trunking Handheld Scanner

The PSR-310 is the new generation of scanners designed for ease of use, yet are 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.

Here are a few of the impressive features:
  • New Object Oriented User Interface - Memory is assigned as objects are created. Store over 1,800 conventional channels, trunking talkgroups, search configurations and Spectrum Sweeper objects in any combination.
    Wide Band Reception
  • Multi-System Analog Trunking - Works with the following trunking systems: Motorola, EDACS Standard/Narrow, LTR Trunking, and supports the new 700MHz and 380MHz bands also can follow multisite Motorola systems
  • Full Dot Matrix Bitmap LCD Display with Real Time S-Meter - Provides one row of dedicated icons, and four rows of 16 alphanumeric characters programming and scanning operations.
  • Powerful and flexible Scan List Functionality - 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.
  • 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.
  • SAME and All Hazards Weather Alerting - Operates in dedicated SAME mode, providing severe weather and other hazard alerts in the specified areas. Can also check the local NOAA weather frequency periodically, even while scanning, and alert when an All Hazards alert occurs.
  • SKYWARN Storm Spotter Functionality - Provides instant, one button access to frequencies used by storm spotter networks.
  • User Upgradable CPU Firmware - Stay current with software enhancements as they become available with free upgrades from www.greamerica.com.
  • CTCSS and DCS Functionality - Supports selective squelch operation on conventional analog channels. Search for codes that are in use and block unwanted transmissions.
  • Exclusive Multi-Color ALERT LED - Programmable multi-color LED can be configured to illuminate or flash when certain objects are active. 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. 7 color options to choose from.
  • 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.
  • High Speed PC Interface - Operates 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.
  • Powerful Spectrum Sweeper - Quickly sweeps the scanners frequency ranges for transmissions from nearby transmitters.
  • Trunking Control Data Output - Streams decoded trunking control data 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!

A Message To All My Visitors

To all my visitors. I would like to take this opportunity to briefly explain my long absence. After the last updates in mid-November, my step-grandmother became ill from pneumonia and slipped into a coma.

On December 15, she passed away at the long-life age of 94. She had been in our family since 1967, the year I was born. After her passing I decided that I needed time to be with my immediate family and cherish their company as we are only here but a brief time on this Earth.

Now that I have had the time to gather my thoughts, I feel I am ready to continue forward. That said, today I have begun working on updates for Police-Scanner.info, Police Scanner Blog, “Scannerhead” Newsletter, and the PoliceAndFireVideos.com and PoliceAndFirePhotos.com websites.

Updates for Police-Scanner.info will be completed and uploaded later this week. Police Scanner Blog posts will also resume later this week. The police and fire video and photos website updates will begin on March 1, 2011. And finally, the next issue of “Scannerhead” Newsletter will resume the first week of March with the March 2011 issue.

I thank you for your patience and continued visitorship and hope to provide useful and informative content to the scanning community for a long time to come.

As always, till next time, stay safe!
