Laurent,

It is important to note that the SBS-1er with the VHF radio chip is not a 'scanner' because it can only monitor one VHF frequency at a time.

I have the SBS-1 and I paid extra for the 'Radio Interface' - really just a key to activate the serial interface to an external radio.  The SBS-1er does exactly the same but it uses its own radio chip rather than connecting to an external radio.

I went back to using my scanner separately, monitoring a whole load of frequencies rather than the one that the Radio Interface allowed.  The SBS-1er radio development in commendable, but is flawed in that it isn't actually a 'scanner'.

If you are talking about the SBS-1, then no, there have been no new radio plug-ins since the SBS-1 was launched about 3 years ago.

The radio chip and BaseStation software for the SBS-1er does NOT allow the scanning of frequencies - only one frequency at a time.  You CAN connect certain radio scanners to the SBS-1, but again, you cannot scant using the BaseStation software, only one frequency at a time.

Also, the radio chip only covers VHF, not UHF, so you can't listen to military frequencies.
