GRE announces new scanners at CES 2012

GRE, the makers of the popular "PSR" line of digital trunking scanners, is displaying two new scanner models at the CES 2012 show....

The PSR-120, an 800mhz conventional-only analog scanner, appears to be a direct answer to Uniden's new BC125AT.  The PSR-120 is a "bank" scanner, in that it features 10 "banks" of channels that can be scanned individually.  The PSR-120 appears to support PL/DPL decoding, but no alpha tagging.

The PSR-900, a simplified mobile version of the popular PSR-800, is also new for 2012.  The PSR-900  features a removable remote control head with two magnets in the rear that can attach to any metal surface.  The PSR-900 appears to support all the features of the popular PSR-800 handheld, including P25 Digital, most popular trunking formats, and the integration of a 2GB SD card for virtually unlimited storage.
