[Scan-DC] GRE Scanners ?

[Andrew Clegg]

It also seems to be that RS/GRE scanners also include the covered frequency
bands printed on the back of the radio (usually on the battery compartment
cover), but Uniden's do not.

The rule of thumb used to be that you could tell the GRE-made RS scanners
from the Uniden-made RS scanners by the location of the keypad and
speaker. On the front of GRE-made scanners, the keypad was on the bottom
and the speaker was on the top. On Uniden-made scanners, the keypad was
on the top and the speaker was on the bottom. The bottom row of keys on
the Uniden-made scanners was "dot-zero-E," while on GRE-made scanners,
the bottom row of keys was "zero-dot-E." Uniden-made scanners tended to
use four AA-cells, while GRE-scanners tended to use six AA-cells.

Let me guess: yours wasn't like that.
