The PSR-310 is a new generation of scanner designed for ease of use, yet are powerful enough to satisfy the most sophisticated experts. Common data entry, browsing and control methods are used for non-trunked conventional channels, trunking talkgroups, search configurations and Spectrum Sweeper setups. The radio grows with you - you can start out with a small, easy to manage configuration, then expand it whenever you need to.
Intuitive "Object Oriented" User Interface Design
Easy to use, yet powerful enough to satisfy sophisticated experts. Common data entry, browsing and control methods are used for conventional channels, talkgroups, searches and Spectrum Sweeper setups.
Powerful and flexible Scan List Functionality
Arrange, group and scan objects according to your preference, with no limit to the number or types of objects in a Scan List, and no limit to the number of Scan Lists an object can be a member of.
Menu Driven Programming with Context Sensitive Help
Each menu item provides a few lines of help text that provide assistance with programming and using the scanner.
User Upgradable CPU Firmware
Stay current with software enhancements as they become available with free upgrades from greamerica.com.
Flexible Free-Form Memory Organization
Memory is assigned as objects are created. Store over 1,800 conventional channels, trucking talkgroups, search configurations and Spectrum Sweeper objects in any combination.
Multi-System Trunking
Scans most common trunked radio system signaling formats, including Motorola, EDACS Standard, EDACS Narrow, and LTR trucked radio systems. Talkgroup call and individual call monitoring are supported. Supports trucking operation in virtually any land mobile radio band, including 700 MHz and the new Federal 380 MHz band!
CTCSS and DCS Functionality
Supports selective squelch operation on conventional analog channels. Search for codes that are in use and block unwanted transmissions.
Exclusive ALERT LED
Programmable multi-color LED can be configured to illuminate or flash when certain objects are active. Provides visual alerts when certain objects are active, e.g., blue can be used to signal activity on a primary police call, red for fire, etc.
Audible alarms
Programmable audible alarms can be configured to sound when certain objects are active. Can be used in conjunction with, or separately from, the ALERT LED described above.
High Speed PC Interface

Streams decoded trunking control data to a personal computer for use with popular third party trunking control channel monitoring software. No slicer needed! Also streams NOAA weather radio SAME alert data!
Full Dot Matrix Bitmap LCD Display with Real Time S-Meter
Provides one row of dedicated icons, and four rows of 16 alphanumeric characters programming and scanning operations.
White LED Backlight for LCD Display
Clear and easy viewing the displayed information.
SAME and All Hazards Weather Alerting
Operates in dedicated SAME mode, providing severe weather and other hazard alerts in the specified areas. Can also check the local NOAA weather frequency periodically, even while scanning, and alert when an All Hazards alert occurs.

I would highly recommend this item. Not being knowledgeable myself a friend of mine programed it for me with the things I wanted and showed me how to use it and it is one of the best scanners I have owned. Priced right also.

This is my third scanner, and by far the easiest to program. Even with the supplied antenna, it gets good reception. The audio is clear, easy to listen to, and has plenty of volume. I'm using the PSREdit310 program now, but at first I put everything in manually and it was still easy to do.

This scanner is really easy to setup if you have the cord. Easy to use buttons and crystal clear display. Only bad thing I can thing of is it has no clock on it. Great product.

After doing a ton of research and asking for a lot of opinions on the Radio Reference forum, I decided to purchase the PSR-310 and have been VERY happy with it.
First, there is one large down side. I'm a Mac user, so there is no programming software available. I have programmed all of my frequencies and scanlists by hand directly on the scanner, and that has taken several hours to do properly.
Second, the stock antenna doesn't seem to be very good. Coverage is great one minute, and spotty the next. I am looking at adding the RS 20-006 antenna sometime in the near future. At less than $20, it seems like a great upgrade.
Other than that, my experience is completely positive! I love that Grecom provides a wall adapter at no extra charge, whereas some other scanner companies I looked at wanted $30 - $45 for it.
The scanner feels very well built, I like the look of it, the backlight is fantastic and the text is easy to read. For the money, I really don't see how you could find a better product!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
