Review on πŸ“» Black Whistler WS1065 Desktop Digital Scanner for Improved Scanning Experience by Timothy Barnes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A GREAT ALL-IN-ONE SCANNER

I love this scanner. I am a licensed communications professional and have had many shortwave and search radios. This scanner is far superior to the best in terms of size, sound quality and reception. I like the fully backlit display and buttons because I watch late at night. If you buy this scanner, don't even think about programming it by hand. Pay a subscription to RadioReference.com and program the scanner from your computer. It's really fun and hard to program. And when you travel to other areas you can easily program it to the scanner channels in the area you are visiting. It runs on 12 volts DC or 115 volts AC and comes with all cables.

Pros
  • Scans most common trunked signal formats including Motorola, EDACS, LTR and P25 trunked networks. Supports talkgroup and individual call monitoring
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
