Just got my new GRE PSR-500 Scanner

[Stealth 795]

I have read reviews on this scanner and I hear there's some major problems. Trunking systems and losing the digital modulation during a transmission is a major problem I am hearing....
But like with radardetectors, thatll be fixed in the near future...
Good Luck !

How well does the - Powerful Spectrum Sweeper / Close call feature work?

How well does the - Powerful Spectrum Sweeper / Close call feature work?

According to a review at Monitoring Times:

You might be familiar with Uniden's Close Call or Radio Shack's Signal Stalker RF capture technology. GRE's equivalent in its new scanners is called Spectrum Sweep. In head-to-head testing with Close Call and Signal Stalker, we found that Signal Sweep [sic] was an improvement in the quiet RF environment we tested it in.

How close do you have to be to a transmitter or radio for it to work?
