Got it delivered early yesterday overnight = Easy set up - played it all day into the night Great reception on all bands = not much activity up here however whatever I picked up came in loud & clear. Great reception on the FM & Weather bands. I highly recommend this radio as a first starter. Radio Shack & Lafayette had similar radios back in the day & it was long overdue for me to purchase a radio like this one & I'm glad I did. Once again I highly recommend this radio to anyone interested in listening in on public service bands Including Police - Fire - Air & Ham communications. Go for it!!

Arrived quickly and out of the box it's actually quite easy to program. One thing to know is that Whistler thinks they're doing you a favor by pre-programming the scanner with the most commonly used frequencies. Before I could enter my own frequencies I had to go through and delete all those unwanted frequencies. Once that was done, entering my own frequencies went pretty fast and easy. There is a brief video that you can watch where the president of Whistler shows you how to program it. it's real brief and fast moving but if you view it a time or two, you'll have it figured out. The accompanying manual is pretty helpful also. Another plus is that this scanner has a telescoping antenna that screws straight into the scanner but also has a BNC connection for an external antenna. I bought an external scanner antenna from Uniden and we live in a very mountainous wooded terrain and after installing the external antenna I'm able to receive a fire dept frequency that is 51 miles away and the sheriffs dept. which is further away than that but they employ the use of repeaters. All in all, I'm happy with this scanner. I'm a diehard Uniden fan but this unit was less expensive and performs well.

My old Radio Shack scanner finally gave up the ghost, so I was looking for a simple, basic replacement. This unit does not disappoint.First, I am in a rural area, so all scanner frequencies here are analog. Also, I have software (PSREdit) which has a database of all the frequencies I use... it hooked up perfectly with this scanner and uploaded the files without a problem. The cable I had from my Radio Shack unit worked fine! Also, I have a subscription from RadioFrequencies.com, which downloads its database to the PSREdit program, so there was no manual programming I needed to do.There are 10 banks, with 30 channels each, so plenty of room for the 50 or so frequencies that I monitor. The sound is crisp and clear. There are pre-programmed channels for EMS/Police/Fire, but these were not really useful to me in my area. I would highly recommend you check RadioFrequencies.com for your area and get the local frequencies you need there, and program them in.Finally, there is one minor issue, but not critical: My old Radio Shack scanner showed the description of the channel being received... this scanner does not. I sort of miss that; but since I setup banks for EMS, Fire, Police, etc., I can tell by which bank is lit where the call is originating. (Also, all calls always announce who they are at the onset of the message).All in all, a solid unit for the price!

We ordered the Whister WS1025 Desktop analog scanner for our son for Christmas. A few days after I placed the order my husband accidently dropped and broke our 25 year old Radio Shack scanner. I ordered another of this scanner for us. Both came within days of each other. Very quickly. My husband set ours up quickly and we love the sound. This scanner holds frequencies our old scanner would not.My husband set up our son's scanner and he put it back in the box and wrapped it. I asked him a few days later if it would hold the frequencies if it is unplugged as our old scanner would not if it was unplugged for more than a few minutes. He said he didn't know but I guess we will find out. A week or so later it was Christmas and that same night my son plugged in his scanner when he got home and sure enough the frequencies were still there and it worked beautifully. We both love our new scanner and my son and his wife love the one we gave him.I read in the reviews that some folks thought it was hard to program. My husband said it was very easy to program and it has been on 24/7 since we got it about a month ago and it is working great. Would highly recommend this product.

We live in the country and for some reason could not get it to pick up anything but the weather . Originally bought it for an elderly relative thought they would not know how to operate. Eventually returned it.
