@@brianshanahan3878 Disappointed. Audio sounds like it's coming from a tin can, needs more midrange or bass, and for some reason when It's connected to the line in of the pc, there is a lot of line noise, something not grounded, so really couldn't use it for the purpose I bought it. Uniden much better quality. Used it for about a week and gave up. Been sitting unused now for 4 1/2 years.
Good thing he showed me how to plug it in .mine wasn't working and I was gonna call the company..just kidding.great to see an old school scanner..I am.going.to.assume based on the price it is analog only.i have A trx-1 and can barely.turn it in.great basic instructional vid
Since Whistler owns the old GRE scanner company it looks like to me that the WS1025 is a remake of the Radio Shack Pro-2004 (which GRE made in the early 90's. The display panel is the same one. Look up a Pro-2004 scanner & tell me I'm wrong. Like I said it is made by the same company, some 30 yrs apart.
I have pro 2004 with some problems on keyboard... You're right, I bought the whistler because it uses the same display and partly the same programming logic as the pro 2004... Yes, the whistler is a modern child of the Realistic!!
@@mauriziolored6123 Actually GRE Electronics made the Pro 2004 for RS. Whistler bought GRE Electronics in 2007 when they went bankruptcy, which gave Whistler every right to reuse any designs & patents GRE had. The WS1065 is a clone of GRE's Pro-197 that they made for RS.
If u bought this scanner at a garage sale, how do you CLEAR all the banks, were there's nothing programmed in any of them. (If that makes sense), or do the banks have to have something programmed in them. Obviously I know nothing about scanners.
christomight - no, you can program any frequency you want, provided it’s covered in the range of the scanner, this scanner is Bottom of the Barrel for Whistler, so it has missing gaps in coverage. Check Universal Radio for frequency range.
I’m not sure why you felt the need to comment? If you don’t like my videos, then don’t watch them. It is that simple. No need for a negative comment.. geez..
@k4dps I was told from small.if you cannot say somethings nice to a pearson don't say anything thank you very much. this old understand you quite well be bless
Seriously major Radio Shack PRO-2018 vibes with that unit.
How do I clear old channels. I have moved and no longer needing the codes
Good video mate but the way you explained it was like I was spoke to as a 4 year old great video and very helpful thankyou
I was taught that when teaching anything to anyone for the first time, you should teach them as if they are elementary school children
@@k4dps fair play mate it wasn't nothing personal I enjoyed the video
He's like Mr. Rogers of the scanners. Toughen up "mate" and remember...using the word 'but' in a sentence negates everything in front of it.
@@twohandsandaradio BUT ???
great!, I just became my kids hero..., by tuning the local airport's tower station... thanks a lot!!!!!!
How do u reset the whistler base scanner
Thank you for the vid.
Ordered one today. Will see if it puts my Uniden BC355C to shame.
+FlightTracker2 It does very well on VHF/UHF conventional analog frequencies. I think you will enjoy it.
How did it compare?

Very helpful. Thank you.
Outstanding!!
It's like listening to Mr. Rogers.
I, for one, appreciate K4DPS's videos.
Better than hearing people scream in phone..
Radio Shack PRO-405 Desktop Scanner is the same.
Include it in your key words for more hits.
Thanks Ion. Good advice.
No pc program 😭

looks good? would be great with a huge dual band antenna!
How clean is that power supply though? It doesn't look as heavily shielded as the one I got with my BCT15x is.

Thank you! Helped me a lot on my Radio Shack Pro-2018, Regards from Brazil!

No

Just got this scanner bank 1 is flashing. Why is the DLY still on in the bottom right corner?
Any radio
Most people who had some kind of scanner
Knows a little about
New one
Looks like a GRE PSR-200U Scanner?
Yes, Whistler took over the product line from GRE.
If u bought this scanner at a garage sale, how do you CLEAR all the banks, were there's
nothing programmed in any of them. (If that makes sense), or do the banks have to
have something programmed in them. Obviously I know nothing about scanners.
Perfection.

Saw this scanner on ebay, said it's digital/ analog. Is it true ? I'd love to buy it.
Analog only
@@k4dps Still a nice scanner, think I'll buy it tonight. Thanks for the reply and God bless.
How do you set.it back to factory?
How do you factory reset scanner
does it have to be local ??
christomight - no, you can program any frequency you want, provided it’s covered in the range of the scanner, this scanner is Bottom of the Barrel for Whistler, so it has missing gaps in coverage. Check Universal Radio for frequency range.
How do you block out all preprogrammed channels
k4dps what happened to the audio on this video I can barely hear you?
Audio is fine here.
These worked fantastic but then they went digital
The Stock antenna is garbage, and I don’t think the back has a BNC connector for an external antenna.
Correction, looks like it has a BNC , but this scanner is pretty piss poor.
West Virginia codes
