So Uniden released a firmware update to the 536 scanner. Fixes included bypassing the clock reset, faster scanning and improved P25 decoding. I tested it briefly and yes it does appear to be an improvement. The 436 version will probably be out in the next week or two.
They also included the first analyze features. They work but really don't do a whole lot. The trunk system logging is what I have been waiting for and hopefully that will be next. Despite the updates, I am still angry at Uniden for the way they have handled things.
On the Pro668 front, there is a guy who first caused a whole forum uproar stating he was able to flash the 1080 firmware into the Pro668. After 2 days and messing around, we could not reproduce his success and the consensus was that he was full of shit.
Now he claims to be rewriting the firmware and it going to release it and make the 1080 & 668 a "super scanner". This is going to go either very bad, or we are moving into uncharted waters, since no one has ever done anything like this before. The last time was back when Bill Cheek released his books, if any of you remember those days. No matter which way it goes, it is going to be an interesting couple weeks ahead.
