| About the programming services
How does this work? Just call or e-mail, we'll set up an appointment, I'll meet you at your convenience, and program your radio with all of the radio systems listed below. You'll get the special quick-start documentation, and I'll go over the operation of your radio with you. The whole process takes about an hour. Your radio will immediately be ready to use, and you will receive special quick-start documentation to help you use your radio quickly. In addition, you will receive hands-on, one-on-one instruction in the use of your radio so you can get the most out of it. After it's programmed, you can call or e-mail with any questions you might have. Programming includes frequencies, trunking talk groups, and alpha tags to identify what you are hearing. In other words, all the things you would want to put into the radio yourself. Radio systems included in all GRE and Radio Shack programming are:  Denver Public Safety (including Police, Fire, and Ambulance)Denver Public Works (including other city functions such as Streets, Water, Zoo, etc) Denver International Airport (including airport operations and aviation frequencies) Aurora (including Police, Fire, and Public Works) Lakewood (including Police, West Metro Fire, and Public Works) Arvada (including Police, Fire, and Public Works) Westminster (including Police, Fire, and Public Works) Wheat Ridge (including Police, Fire, and Public Works) Adams County agencies Arapahoe County agencies Boulder County agencies Broomfield County agencies Douglas County agencies Elbert County agencies Jefferson County agencies Weld County agencies Larimer County agencies Security, ambulance, and other interesting frequencies Metro Denver aviation frequencies
Each county's programming includes the cities and agencies in those counties, plus the Colorado State Patrol channels for that area. This programming will fill 99% of the capacity of most radios. Uniden scanners have even more capacity, and will be programmed with everything listed above, and much more! Also available: you just choose the radio you want, with our help if you wish, and it will be delivered to you completely programmed, with the complete programming service as listed above.

| | Radio Firmware Upgrades The Uniden BCD-396T and BCD-996T scanners require firmware upgrades to Version 3.00 or higher to receive the Denver Public Safety trunk system. This upgrade is a complicated process. Uniden has details on this upgrade on their website. The latest upgrade is 3.02.02. Upgrades above 3.00 fix some rather obscure problems, which are described on the above Uniden website link. GRE also releases firmware upgrades periodically for their scanners. The latest for the PSR-500/600 is version 2.0. Denver Radio can install these upgrades for you, as well as providing updated radio system and channel programming. | |
