Great scanner for beginner, or someone on the move.Nov 20, 2010
By Sam C
First, this scanner is not digital, so if you are looking to monitor a P25 digital system this is not the scanner for you.
The PSR-700 is the newest scanner in the line from GRE America, it holds the entire Radio Reference database on a 2GB SD card. The database is updated once a week for anything new in the RadioReference database. For anyone that is familiar with scanners, and the normal bank/channel system, this is a complete change. The PSR-700 is a object oriented scanner, which means that each frequency you have is an object, and can be added to a scanlist. A scanlist is equivalent to a bank on a more conventional scanner, the only difference is that you can have any number of frequencies in a scanlist. What makes the PSR-700 favorable to people that move around is that when you set up a group of frequencies to scan, you are not wasting space on a bank because you have 20 frequencies in a bank of 100. I tend to keep things organized by county, so each scanlist is one county. It takes some getting used to for anyone that has used a scanner with banks, but once you get the idea it is actually quite nice.
The other thing about this scanner that makes it great for traveling is that it gives you the ability to add things on the fly. Because it has the entire Radio Reference database. So if you find yourself somewhere that you don't already have preprogrammed, it can be added from the database on the SD card.
There is software that comes with the scanner, it is called EZ Scan. The software is for programming your scanner from your computer. This allows you more control over your scanlists. YOU WILL NEED A CARD READER TO USE THE SOFTWARE. To program the SD card you need to remove it from the scanner and put it in the card reader to upload the data. The suppled USB serves 2 purposes, to charge the scanner from either a computer or USB wall charger and to upgrade the firmware. You cannot program the scanner from the USB cable as you could with previous scanners that use a USB PC/IF port for programming.
The menu's are easy to read, and the buttons are fairly self explanatory. The idea being that this scanner is more like a MP3 player. In fact you no longer hit scan, you hit play to scan and pause to stop on a frequency or talkgroup. There is the normal spectrum sweeper, as well as preprogrammed frequencies like CB/MARINE/GMRS/FRS/MURS/RAILROAD/AIRCRAFT/RAILROAD/PUBLIC SAFETY. I do find that having the entire database, I really no longer use the service searches, but having them there does help to find frequencies that may not be in the database.
This scanner does do analog trunking, it will do Motorola, EDACS and LTR standard. It will not trunk LTR Multinet. The trunking is very easy to set up, and you can import only the talkgroups that you would like, or all of the talkgroups on a system.
The supplied antenna is a pretty decent antenna, although it is a wide band antenna, so if you are monitoring a specific band you may want to get an antenna that is tuned to that band. For all around better performance is all bads, but especially the 800MHz band, I would recommend the Radio Shack 800MHz antenna, #20-283 is the stock number.
The one problem that I do have with this scanner is that there is not a belt clip as there are on most other scanners. This makes the scanner more cumbersome to carry with you. There are carrying cases that you can buy, but I do see this as one major downfall of this scanner. While the size is very small, there is still the antenna to deal with when carrying it. The other part of not having a belt clip is that there is no way to lock the buttons, so if you do put it in your pocket you will push buttons which will result in undesired things happening while you are listening.
The last thing that is nice about his scanner is that you do not have to have a premium membership to Radio Reference to download data. Other scanners you would need to purchase software, and have a premium membership, which is another expense. This scanner has the software as well as the ability to use the database for free.
All in all, this scanner is perfect for someone that is on the go, and travels to quite a few different places that you want to keep in the scanner. It is also nice to have the database, so you can add what you might need on the fly. It is a great scanner for anyone from a beginner to an expert that just wants something easy for mobile use on a day to day basis. It pulls in signals really well, it scans at 75 channels/second which is nice because it missed less of what is going on, and usually beats my other scanners when there is a transmission.

GRECOM PSR-700 EZ Scan-SD Trunking ScannerNov 13, 2010
By Giant Supporter
I bought this as a replacement for my old Uniden BC95XLTB scanner. The old one was fine until the local police and fire agencies went to a trunking system. I could still listen to most of the fire and police calls, but I also had to hear public works and public transportation communications. Another issue came up everyday, somewhere around midnight, where I would have to lock out one channel to get rid of a constant noise signal, and then unlock the noise channel from the previous day.
The PSR-700 fixed these problems and more. It provided me the option to remove the public works/transportation transmissions and eliminated the need to lock/unlock channels every night. Also, with the free RadioReference.com library updates, I'm now able to easily use this scanner in other areas. For example, I set up scan lists for the places I often visit and I can easily select them when I'm on the road. With the old scanner, I had to research the frequencies and manually type them in. With this scanner, I just select the city and agency I'm interested in and import the library.
The bottom line is this thing impressed me. I've only had it for two days, but I'm amazed. It does everything I wanted and then some. The included software is very well written and to put it simply: It works.

Compact, Solidly-Built ScannerDec 19, 2010
By Scott Freiman
"Scott"
The PSR-700 is a solidly built, very compact scanner. Since I had experience programming my Uniden BCT15X base scanner, I chose to program my PSR-700 via its desktop software. It only took me about 15-20 minutes to put my scan lists together, even including the custom alpha tags I created. I had the database downloaded to the SD card and the scanner up and running within a minute or two. This little scanner really does a great job of pulling in the signals. Even with its small antenna, it pulled in the signals almost as well as my base scanner that uses an outside antenna. The PSR-700 also scans quicker than my base scanner. I am very pleased with the GRE PSR-700 and highly recommend it.

 Great scannerJan 23, 2011
By Jerry W. Mccoy
This thing was simple to set up. Worked the first time. The reception is not as pure as I'd like (background noise) but that's pretty typical of scanners.
If you buy this, plan on rechargeable batteries. This thing eats AA's every other day.

EZ is EasyMar 02, 2011
By Terry Craig
I have had this scanner for a month and it is great. The PC programming is fast and easy. You can program on the PC or in your hands. It is easy to hear and easy to see the display. The only thing I do not like is that it has no place to attach a lanyard nor does it have a belt clip. It does not have an AC plug in. You can use the provided USB to charge it or do like I do and have a separate battery charger with extra batteries charged and waiting.
