Re: 800 mhz rebanding

Well, I'm not very happy either.  I saved extra pennies for a couple 
years to finnaly buy a 785D and then the rebanding came about and now 
I'm stuck and good luck selling it for anything worth a damn.  I even 
just purchased a remote head kit from scannermaster.com  Luckily the 
kit is good for the 785D and 796D.  I'm just pissed that soon I will 
have to drop another $500+ for the 796D to keep listening.

For those who are not on the ball with the rebanding, check out some

If you have come here to find out about the 785D you have come to the right place! In fact the discussion of the BC-785D and how it works is the only acceptable topic on this list. Any discussion about anything other than the BC-785D is OFF TOPIC. I hope this is clear to all group members..
