Whistler - Handheld Radio Scanner - Black

Love my new scanner, especially the customizable channel naming for each frequency.. its loaded with tons of features, and im still discovering new things that it can do.. it is loud enough for indoor use, but if using in a vehicle, suggest that you have an AUX port to plug into your car audio.. im using rechargeable batteries that usually last about 7 hours, could last a lot longer, but i have it programmed to light up brightly when it receives a signal..

My first programmable scanner. Very difficult to program. Drivers not available for scanner cable. I had my scanner programmed professionally. Now I'm waiting to receive so good scanner conversations and broadcasts. May need a better external antenna. I bought it with free gift cards I had, hopefully it will prove to be a good scanner.

instruction booklet confusing. Had to call Whistler Co. Took over many calls over a week period. Finally spent about 2 hrs. on phone with Whistler. got it working. Sometimes I have to remove and replace batteries to get it to work. Does not always work when turn on. Also mainly only get one company scanning. Have not got police yet. :Maybe to many items on scanner but afraid to remove any it might take all off. Also have to say the person at Whistler was great, helpful and professional. But spoke with him almost daily for a week. Don't want to bother him again. Will recommend only if person really understands computers. So will check yes below but sparingly.

The scanner was on sale at a great price. It is a well optioned unit that can pick up just about any frequency. Was a little tricky to program. If you get one don't be intimidated by the program sequence.Just keep at and you will succeed.

Very easy to program, and easy to navigate. Has lot of nice features. Could use a better antenna. Gets lots of static and sometimes cuts out (interference with other frequencies). Most of the time works flawlessly.
