Page 7: Introduction
Welcome to an exciting new world of radio scanning! Recognizing that contemporary scanning receivers are too hard to program and use, GRE s engineers conducted extensive research to determine the functional requirements for an entirely new scanning receiver user interface. We call this new user...
Page 8: Features
GRE's Exclusive V-Scanner Technology - Allows you to save complete radio conﬁgurations within the radio, for recall into main memory as needed in the ﬁeld. This is similar to having a laptop computer and programming software available anytime.
Page 9 LTR trunking systems when the home repeater order is not known. Enter the LTR system frequencies in any order, and the 0716 will automatically move the frequencies to the proper home repeater slots as transmissions are received on the system.
Page 10: Overview Of The Object Oriented User Interface
P25 Network Access Code (NAC) is used to provide selective squelch operation on conventional digital channels. Your 0716 will detect the NAC that is being used on a P25 conventional digital channel, and allow you to program NAC codes to block transmissions that do not have a matching NAC, including analog trafﬁc on the same frequency!
Page 11 Until recently, trunking functionality was forced into the traditional bank/channel scanner design. This confused and frustrated for users, who had to learn 0716 User Manual Page 11...
Page 12 – one for conventional, non-trunked channels, and another for trunked systems and talkgroups. GRE s engineers carefully studied the challenges of programming and operating today s current crop of trunked scanning receivers. We have also carefully studied how scanning hobbyists like to use their radios, and the role the Internet plays in the scanning hobby.

Page 16: About This Manual
About this manual Object abbreviations used in this document We described how your new GRE scanner utilizes an Object Oriented User Interface in the Introduction and Overview sections of this manual. You learned that the key components of this new user interface are the Scannable Objects, which are, of course, “things that can be scanned”.

0716 can search for and display the selective squelch type and squelch tones or codes in use on a particular frequency. The three types of selective squelch available in the 0716 are as follows: CTCSS CTCSS stands for Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System. In CTCSS, the transmitter sends a special, low level audio tone continuously while a transmission is in progress.
Page 131: Dcs
If the DCS code is not present, or an incorrect code is found, the receiver will remain muted. Additionally, the 0716 can detect the DCS code that is in use on a transmitter, and will allow you to store the code value with a CONV object when a DCS transmission occurs.
