  • Description

The Whistler WS1040 is a dependable handheld scanner built for users who want solid performance without the complexity of newer digital formats. Designed to monitor analog systems and P25 Phase I digital transmissions, it’s a great option for areas where agencies are still using conventional or older trunked systems. With object-oriented memory and flexible scanlist organization, it gives you the ability to customize exactly what you want to hear without being locked into rigid channel structures.


Simple to use and easy to program, the WS1040 includes PC programming capability for faster setup and ongoing updates. Its handheld design makes it ideal for use at home, in a vehicle, or on the go, while standard AA battery power keeps it practical and convenient.
