Colin, you can't buy the OPSR-500 any longer.  I think the new repackaged 
version from Whistler is the 1040 but I don't know the name before the 
number.  Maybe it's just Whistler 1040.  Jim WA6EKS

I highly recommend the PSR-500...on tests with very high end test equipment
the GRE PSR-500 has measurably better receiver sensativity.
The audio is excellent as well and very easy to hear even in noisy
environments.
