Tom,
       With that begs the question... Will we be able to buy a new digital 
card to enable us to track 9600 baud Apco-25 TRS's in the BC250/785 or will 
we have to buy a whole new scanner? We all know that Uniden never will make a 
flashable scanner so that point is moot.

Also, any word on them changing the trunking talkgroup delay to less than 5 
seconds?  5 seconds is WAY TOO LONG.  3 seconds would be much better.
