Whistler WS1040 Good Scanner for the Price
Ordering was very easy. It was as expected. Works very well. Took a little learning to program with the software.

The users manual was very difficult to follow. We worked on applying the instructions for hours without getting the full usage out of the Scanner.

It's a great scanner. It has SAME weather technology, scans weather, some HAM frequencies, Police, fire,, air and other frequencies. Already have it set up. All I have to do is figure out how to set it up to scan Trunk frequencies.

It was pretty easy to set up and works well. The biggest challenge was in using a website to program all the channels I want, but the scanner is easy to use.

The Whistler 1040 Scanner is comparable to the Radio Shack Pro-106, BUT it's battery charging function was downgraded to a "maintain" vs "recharge" function. You'll need a second set of rechargeable batteries and a separate charger. Also the LED light function has a bug that requires tweaking to obtain a "yellow" light.In general, it was worth the price I paid ($215.00).
