Hello,

Have been away from the hobby for a while now.

I have a GRE 500 handheld unit, which I like very much.

I understand that GRE has had a new handheld unit out for a while.
More bells and whistles than the 500, I guess.

The new unit is a Analog Trunk tracker the 310X/410X. It is an upgrade
of the 300/400 series due out in the Fall of 2010. The 500 is the latest
Digital Trunk tracker from GRE. GRE is also set to release a clone of
the PRO-107 iScan radio and Uniden will announce their 'iScan' version
on July 1st.





I'm in my 70's now, and frankly not that sharp with unerstanding the
technical specs anymore.

Might anyone please outline for me, and describe, what the new one
offers over what I have now ?

Worth considering an upgrade ? Why ?

BTW: Is there an even newer one expected "shortly" ?

Live outside of Boston, and use it mainly to monitor local PD and FD, as
well as some Aero from Hanscom and Logan.

Much thanks,
B.
