Features - Whistler WS1010 Owner's Manual

FEATURES

This scanner is designed to prevent reception of
illegal transmissions, in compliance with the law which
requires that scanners be manufactured in such a
way as to not be easily modifiable to pick up those
transmissions. Do not open your scanner's case to
make any modifications that could allow it to pick up
transmissions that are not legal to listen to. Doing so
could subject you to legal penalties.
In some areas, mobile use of this scanner is unlawful
or requires a permit. Check the laws in your area. We
encourage responsible, legal scanner use.
Features
Your new WS1010 Handheld Scanner lets you scan
conventional transmissions, and is preprogrammed
with search banks for convenience. By pressing a
one touch search key, you can quickly search those
frequencies most commonly used by public service
and other agencies without tedious and complicated
programming.
This scanner gives you direct access to over 25,000
exciting frequencies, including those used by
ambulance services, aircraft, and amateur radio
services, marine, civil air patrol, VHF and UHF business
bands, government frequencies and some police and
fire departments.
Your scanner also has these special features:
Spectrum Sweeper – a powerful new tool for you
to rapidly detect, monitor and store frequencies for
nearby radio transmissions.
One-Touch Service Search Banks – Search preset
frequencies in separate marine, fire/police, aircraft, ham
and weather bands.
Display Backlight – Easy to read in low-light situations.
Lockout Function – Lets you skip specified channels or
frequencies when scanning or searching.
Ten Channel-Storage Banks – You can store 20
channels in each bank (200 total channels), letting you
group channels so you can more easily identify calls.
