Default Rebanding

Not only do the channel numbers change, the scanner needs to now contain
and old and new channel table and be able to read the control flag that
dictates from which table to look up. Otherwise some systems that don't
get re-banded, IE the many interleaved systems, won't be able to be
received. It sounds trivial until you consider all the variables,

Is 700MHz re-banding something that's currently going on anywhere these

come out that address this issue w/o a major hardware upgrade!



The rebanding is occurring in the 800 MHz Band only. The only thing
for Motorola systems is that the channel numbers will change so that
is all that is needed to be updated in the scanner firmware.
