It's adorable how so many reviews online bemoan the difficult nature to program this scanner without a computer. Meanwhile, you show how easy it is if you just read directions. Well done, lad!
Thanks for posting this video, this scanner can be very frustrating to people that aren't "Hands On". I had to program this for an elderly couple, there was no way they were going to figure it out. Now, I just have to hope they don't hit a wrong button and mess it up again! GREAT JOB!
Thank you, this helped me program my Whistler ws1065 scanner. I only wanted a few local channels as they have all went digital, thanks again for a good video that is easy to understand.
Yea by now most places have switched to digital. These scanners can listen to P25 digital, but sadly that’s it. Thanks for watching and I’m glad it helped ya out.
Your explanation on setting up your scanner is very clear. Could you please assist me with my Hand Held Pro 197, I just purchased this unit, no manuel. I'm a little confused with (FM/MO/ED/LT/AM) "mode" My weather channel should always be working. It's comes in and out? The weather channel should always be screaming? I'm located in St Augustine Florida and the Police/Fire runs on 152.00-462.00 Please help, this is very frustrating. Thanks mark
How do I get it to stay on trunking? I get the flashing T on up by the T but at night it goes off it's up by the G. Its for Longmont Fire, Longmont, Colorado. it seems to work in the mornings but not at night. it has 4 Contol Channels and I have them all in.
I don’t think so. But if memory serves I believe this was a common complaint with these scanners. If I were you I’d google it and do a little reading, see what others are doing to overcome it.
@@thatonescrambler the Radio Shack is the bowtie, Whistler would be the GMC. GMC is priced a little more and looks a tiny bit different but it’s got the same parts.
I can program the fres. but i don't pick up any talking but i get the weather chal. just fine. i dont know what i did. Did i ? mute the thing some how? our did the pd sys. go down. air port is working ok so, what do you think. I rest it and straed all off and the same thing.
It’s been a long time but I believe you have a talk group that isn’t assigned to a system. Double tap your programming, especially if you recently tried to program a trucked system.
You don’t have any scan lists selected. Press whatever number you saved your freqs into, or just press 1 pause 2 pause 3 pause and so on thru 0. This will enable 1-9 scan lists which will then listen to any and all freqs you have saved within those lists.

So this Radio Shack scanner is the same thing as the Whistler WS1065?
William Hollister - yep, kinda like a chevy truck vs a GMC, just different badges.

Do you know if it's possible to do a hard reset on a scanner? I had a bunch of channels from another state saved, and now i'd like to get rid of them.
I programmed my Bearcat Pro 197, but when i got to channel 32, it tells me .." End Of List" Why and how do i program more frequencies?
