FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The first radio scanner that anyone can use.

Belmont, CA, – GRE America in concert with RadioReference.com introduce a number of firsts in
radio scanners with the new iScan Trunking Scanner.  This scanner is the first scanner to:
1)   program by simply selecting  what you want to hear, no need to be a radio system expert

2)    allow the user to listen to local agencies and emergency communications without
special programming as it includes the entire frequency database from RadioReference.com

3)   supply virtually unlimited storage; the first scanner to include a preprogrammed 2GB SD card

In the past, scanning your local police, fire and emergency services required that you know the
 radio band used, radio system type and required an understanding of the programming protocol
 and programming method for your scanner.  To further complicate things, programming methods
varied not only between scanner brands, but sometimes even within a brand.  Every scanner
hobbyist had to become an expert to program his scanner.

With introduction of the iScan scanner, programming is as simple as selecting your state and county
from lists, viewing the available services, checking boxes for the services you want to monitor and
saving to a playlist.  Wayne Wilson, Executive VP for GRE says, “It is very much like programming
an MP3 player, that is, if you could buy an MP3 player with every song already loaded.”

“RadioReference is very excited to be an integral part of an innovative new product line for the
scanning community, “comments Lindsay Blanton, President of RadioReference.com LLC.  “Including
the entire RadioReference.com frequency database allows listeners to choose what they want to
monitor without diving into the technical details that existing scanning receivers require today for
programming.”
The iScan Trunking scanner will be available from select RadioShack locations by mid-November.
