This scanner appears to be a clone from GRE America Inc of the RS Pro-107 scanner. Please modify this article with any pertinent additions or corrections

The GRE PSR-700 iScan is a Multi-Trunking scanner which boasts the ability to track Motorola type I/II systems, LTR and EDACS trunking systems using the Radioreference database on an included 2GB Secure Digital card.

The PSR-700 uses a proprietary software package and a supplied USB/power cable. Firmware updates are possible on this radio via the PC/IF->USB port.

General Specifications

  • Rebanding supported? YES EZ-Scan will import tables for identified rebanded systems from the RadioReference database.

  • Operating voltage
    • DC 2.4 Volts (“AA” cell x 2pcs. Ni-MH Batteries)
    • DC 3 Volts (“AA” cell x 2pcs. ALKALINE Batteries)
    • Ext. power and charge voltage USB Power (DC 5V 500mA)
  • Object oriented memory management. See the Object Oriented Scanning Described article for more information
  • Number of conventional channels, trunked systems, sites-per-system, and talkgroups-per-system limited only by available file space on the SD Card
  • Full duplex support and USB connection using the supplied USB Scanner Data Manager Cable, however it will not access the SD card in the radio.
  • Object programmable display alert (including multi-pattern flashing) to assign to talkgroups, frequencies, agencies, etc.
  • Non need for a traditional keypad, radio uses media player style buttons to navigate to user programmed playlists.
  • Play List; create a scan list tailored to your favorite object settings from the Radioreference database.

Navigate using the button operations to get to the play list set.

  • Signal Stalker II Near field frequency capture
  • Triple conversion
  • Simple display option will display object and playlist only, or disabled for more detailed display
  • SD Preprogrammed with entire USA Radioreference database, additionally can use High Capacity Secure Digital Cards as long as 32kB memory block clusters are used.
  • Programmable audible alarms
  • Easy-to-read back display and back lit keypad
  • Display and keypad backlighting can be turned on or off independently
  • Scan rate 75 channels per second (non trunking)
  • Search speed 85 channels per second
  • CTCSS/DCS abilities with search, however has no autosave or keypress save feature.
  • 16-character alpha-tagging with text entry can show ID code or service name
  • Temporary and permanent L/O of talkgroup ID or frequency
  • ID delay
  • UNSQUELCH Delay; Delay settings before the radio unmutes audio to speaker
  • Motorola Control Channel Only trunking
  • Radio ID Display
  • Priority Object settings (conventional and Trunked)
  • 6 search ranges/ 1 user definable search range
  • Search "seek" feature
  • Tunes virtually all important bands—local marine, fire/police, Ham, CB, VHF-air, UHF-Air, racing, weather and more
  • Weather band with enhanced SAME Weather Alert functions and weather priority—access weather channels and alerts with the push of a button
  • Skywarn list can be programmed with any number of "objects"
  • "Multiple" Priority channels
  • Zeromatic search tuning
  • 20db attenuator, can be set globally
  • Computer interface and Programming
  • 9 navigation keys to access special modes and programming options
  • 6 line x 16 character display with relative signal strength meter
  • BNC connector
  • Internal battery charger, with power from the supplied PC/IF->USB cable or an external USB power AC or DC converter.
  • PC/IF data output when enabled. Works with analog trunked systems and conventional data. See the Control and monitoring software section.
  • USB to serial cable has Uniden style connector for PC/IF. No access to SD card remotely. An SD card reader is not supplied.
  • Programmable Welcome Screen text
  • Browsing to objects and pausing on them is supported

Memory Capacity

  • Conventional channels, each in two playlists: 8 million
  • Trunked systems, minimum 20 talkgroups per system: 6 thousand
  • Trunked systems, every possible talkgroup (~65,000) in every system: 151
  • Minimum number of total talkgroups (@ one per system, 6000 systems): 6 thousand
  • Maximum number of total talkgroups (@ ~65,000 per system, 151 systems): 9.8 million
  • Entire USA RadioReference database imported (including digital): twice

In the above, each trunked system has up to 50 sites (though there's no practical limit). All talkgroup numbers presume all systems are "Motorola Type-II" - the system type that a) uses the most space per talkgroup, b) potentially wastes the most space per talkgroup, and c) has the largest number of possible talkgroups. The minimum and maximum numbers of talkgroups are absolutes; actual values depend on system types as well as how talkgroups are distributed among systems and within systems. No "RadioIDs" are included in the above.

In more general terms:

  • Conventional channels: limited only by SD Card space and max FAT32 file size
  • Trunked systems: limited only by SD Card space
  • Sites per system: limited only by SD Card space
  • Frequencies per site: fixed at 32 (yes, I know it's too many)
  • Talkgroups per system: limited only by SD Card space, up to maximum for system type

Setting Up a System for Rebanding

  • NOTE: This procedure was discovered using EZ-Scan on the PSR-800; it's assumed this procedure will also work here. Corrections are solicited


  1. Select the system
  2. Select the site
  3. Bring up the trunking tables for the system
  4. Set it from Auto-fill to Custom
  5. Hit the Set Reband button
  6. Load the new configuration to the scanner

Thanks to Troymail for the procedure
