Thank God for you, mister. My husband wanted a scanner for Christmas and I bought one for him, but as tech savvy as he is in other areas, he was at a loss on this one. I watched this and programmed in what we needed to start and he is happy as a clam.

Great job on explaining this 👏 I now have 2 Whistler 1040s upstairs and in my cave downstairs and an outdoor antenna at 54' so my wife and I can listen to all the activities in several counties and 3 nearby states as well as CB radio all over America on our scanners . Making the most of my retirement years .

I understand how to program frequencies manually but what i don't understand is, how am I supposed to know if the channel is a new conventional channel, a talkgroup, P25 auto, CTCss etc. Any suggestions on how to understand all the all the scanner jargon? Thanks

I think much of this- if not all will apply to the WS1065 I am trying to learn. Almost skipped by the section on entering the tag as I know how to enter a letter from a keypad- oops- thought I did! But this method is different! So thank you for making it at a 6th grade level. It is exactly what I needed! 5 stars

I received my 1040 handheld scanner yesterday and I was on your website because I wanted to program it manually and I just wanted to say fantastic job at the directions. I was able to get everything programmed in pretty quickly and scanning as I was quite happy... However, I scheduled in maybe 10 conventional channels, and I wanted to go back in to each one of those channels and update a few things in regards to squelch and back lighting and I was wondering if you could show me how to do that I don't wanna mess anything up.

The problem that I am having is 1) When changing the tag, say Channel 1, I change the tag name, but, when I go to channel 2 and change that tag name also changes the name I put in for channel 1? Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any advice please.

Greetings to You Sir. First off, an immense thank you for your support of this scanner. Invaluable service. Question: My local police have recently went from analog to digital traffic, utilizing what I'm told is a "multicast" format. There is apparently no conventional "frequency" involved as in inputing analog. I have a screenshot of what a multicast transmission looks like sans any frequency. Is this scanner capable of programming and receiving multicast broadcasts? Thank you so much. Here is kind of a techy description of the capability I'm seeking if this scanner accommodates?: Mcscanner scans a network for multicast sources, which are explicitly avoided in typical network scanners such as nmap. It sends PIM Hello and IGMP Queries then listens to network traffic and prints out the source and destination.

@darrink35632 жыл бұрын
@@k4dps Thank you Sir. I've looked that up. The systems that I'm looking for are capabilities of another well-known handheld model, Uniden's SDS-100, which features compatibility with the following multicasting formats (among others): APCO 25 Phase I and Phase II, X2-TDMA, Motorola, EDACS, EDACS ProVoice, LTR trunked systems, NXDN, DMR, as well as conventional analog and digital channels. I've confirmed that the Uniden model would allow me to begin following my preferred frequencies again, just not sure my Whistler 1040 is either programmable, upgradable or configurable to these same formats? I specifically purchased the Whistler to compensate and upgrade from my old Baofang analog-only model as many agencies had already made the switch to digital. BUT, with so many new digital formats & technologies ever changing, I feel kind of like "chasing the dragon." And can't keep shelling out close to $1K every time technology or formats change. Cat & Mouse game, I suppose. AND, as I also understand it, most police agencies will eventually migrate to encrypted transmission, which will--for most intent & purposes--render these fancy scanners useless?

Even tried car roof-top antenna while driving out-and-about and outdoor antenna with still nothing! Either I'm doing something wrong, or scanning is not for me in my particular area.
