WS1040
This generation of radios, half made by GRE and the newer Pro-651/652 and WS1040/65
by Whistler, are all identical in operation. The PSR-C (Canadian) models are no different
from the US models except that the bandplan setting defaults to Canada, the V-Scanner

folders include Canadian provinces, and firmware updates are separate. The newer Pro- 651/652 and WS1040/65 don’t have preprogrammed V-Scanner folders. Programming isn't too hard once you figure out how to navigate the new menus. These are another excellent set of radios that have many fine features for scanning, searching, and trunking. - Page 3 Automatic Adaptive Digital Tracking (ADT) - when monitoring P25 digital systems, instantly adapts the digital decoder to the digital modulation format of the transmitted signal, then analyzes the signal over 50 times each second and adapts to any subtle changes caused by multipath or fading. No cumbersome manual adjustments are required.

Key Lock (HH models) - lets you lock the scanner's keys to help prevent accidental changes to the scanner's programming. Key Confirmation Tones - the scanner sounds a tone when you press a key, perform an operation correctly, and an error tone if you make an error. Can be turned off. - Page 5 The control channel is continually transmitted to the field units and has a sound similar to listening to a boat engine over the phone (in manual mode; you won't hear this when you are trunking the system.) This control channel is also a good check to see if you can trunktrack the system. If you can't hear a control channel when you step through the trunking frequencies (in manual mode), you either don't have all the frequencies or are too far away to receive the control channel and the system.

distant transmitters on the same channel. In all major metropolitan areas of the United States, every available radio channel is assigned to more than one user. Public safety radio systems on the same frequency are usually set up at a distance of 40 miles apart, or more. This means that you may hear transmissions from a distant system when your local system is not transmitting. -

- Page 9 the Scan List Number (01-20), FV (Favorites), SW (Skywarn), or ns (no scan list) shows the Scan List the object is assigned to in Manual Mode and PGM alternates in Program Mode. The Object Type appears as TGRP (Talkgroup), CONV (Conventional), LMIT (Limit search), SWPR/STLK (Sweeper/Stalker search), SR-P (Public Safety service search), SR-A (Air service search), SR-H (Ham service search), SR-C (CB service search), SR-M (Marine service search), SR-F (FRS/GMRS/MURS service search), or SR-R (Railroad service search).

- Page 13 Warning: The scanner will charge continuously with the scanner turned off and plugged into external power. (External smart charger is strongly recommended). Enter the number of hours, 0 - 16 the charger will charge. AttenMode Sets the global attenuator mode. Global applies attenuation (on or off) to all objects. Normal uses object attenuation settings. 'G' will appear in the middle of the display when set to Global.

LCD BlinkOff For alternating text displays, sets the display time for the secondary display element. (object number, channel name, ID name/number, search name, scan list number) Enter the amount of time, 1 - 250 (10 - 2500 ms).
- Page 15 Search, and Talk Group objects can all go in the same list. The main lists, 1-20, can be scanned with any other list but the 'Favorites List' and the 'Skywarn List' will only scan objects in each respective list and no other lists. The only disadvantage here is there are only 22 lists to put everything in. But, you can put as many objects in each of these 22 locations that memory allows.
- Page 16 Scan Lists: This is where you select which Scan List(s) you want the object to be in for scanning. Press ◄ ► to select the list (01-22) then press SEL/ENT to select any/every list you want the conventional object to be in. A * (asterisk) will appear in front of each list the object will be assigned to.
