Unless someone has sent in their PSR 800 for upgrade and received it back, we won't know exactly what you get from Whistler.  Until that time, this is all speculation and conjecture.

>>>     I asked Whistler to repair my GRE PSR-800. They asked me if it was under warranty, and when I said 'no, they told me something about not having the parts to do the repairs, and even if they did, the parts wouldn't be compatible or something like that.  So, I think I have crossed Whistler off of my list for any future purchases.
