Ok, so it costs a fair bit, but after you have go to grips with the software, you have an amazingly versatile and flexible scanner. Brilliant on the airband frequencies and picking out some distant signals from lower down. You'll either love or hate the looks - it's different from most other scanners, but seems to last a good while on rechargable batteries (not included!) and being able to recharge from a USB leads is very handy!

Scanner has a very good solid feel to it. Rubber case is very difficult to remove so I purchased the leather case as well. Instruction manual could be better. I suggest that you copy the contents of the SD card to your PC before you do anything else. Programming via the PC app is my preferred option. Firstly download the data from the scanner to the PC, by using the PC app. Make changes via the PC app. Then, using the PC app, copy the data back to the scanner. You can then make changes on the fly by using the scanner. If you goof up you can use the PC app to restore the data from the PC.
The recording feature on the scanner is very useful.

The scanner is a beautiful piece of equipment. Sturdily built. The rubber case is difficult to remove. I have decided not to use it, but I have purchased the optional soft case. I use rechargeable batteries. The scanner recharging takes an age, so using the rubber case was not ideal, if the batteries are removed for external charging.
That said, it is also difficult to program! If it wasn't supplied with a SD card already set up, I suspect, for an average person, (me) it would be extremely difficult to use. I also purchased an extra SD card, in case I inadvertantly wiped the supplied card, which, having looked at the software supplied by Whistler is easy to do! I also have some "play" SD cards that are purely for the learning curve of programming this device.
I have used an analogue scanner for many years, but this device is very different in the way it is updated. That won't happen to mine until I am happy with what I need to do.
On receipt and unboxing, I saw a blue pull-off tag on the top right of the scanner front. I pulled off this small tag. I couldn't see it's use. It is however part of the screen protector which has to be removed as any use of the scanner leaves scratches and marks. I didn't see the screen protector left behind and Moonraker Radio were very helpful in sorting this problem.
I have found that the spare SD card has proved more successful in locating active channels, than the installed SD card.
So, at the moment, I'm at the start of learning how to use this scanner to its full effect. It will be a steep learning curve! To say it's E-Z is really not the case! The instruction manual is of limited use. No doubt I will lose more hair until I master the programming!
I am pleased with my purchase. Over time I will appreciate its abilities more, as I learn how to use it properly. Thank goodness for on-line help and videos!

This is a very versatile scanner but as others have said the programming can be challenging until you get your head around it. Lots of features. The actual unit is built like a brick and feels well made and rugged (especially with the rubber bumper/case, which just takes a little getting used to when you have to remove it). The Whistler manual is a little light on detail but with the aid of a manual called the easy read version, just search online, Facebook groups and YouTube, the whole thing becomes manageable. Just remember that this needs some effort to get to grips with it but is well worth the effort.

a great scanner, very sensitive. once you get your head around programming it works very well. function 0 is your friend when it comes to decoding. good battery life and very hard wearing

a great hand held digital scanner, search settings all work well. is very good on battery life and very sensitive, not the easiest to program but when you grasp it, it all makes sense. a bit bulky but will fit in a coat pocket and very hard wearing, if output for decoding

Unlike many other scanners, this one is a fair bit more technical however it's to he expected due to what its capable of, which is a lot more than many other scanners. There are forums, FB Groups and YouTube videos to assist new users. And a good case to protect it from damage.
