Seriously, don't waste your time with this thing unless you already know all about digital trunking systems and have more free time than you know what to do with.
Many times, I lean over, and accidently a button is pushed on the keyboard by pressure from something outside my pocket

The first day after programing my scan lists, the first transmission I heard involved an expired car registration stop involving a friend of mine; what are the odds of that happening?One nice aspect I really like is the ability to program custom flashing colors which identify who is broadcasting without your having to read the screen--a very cool feature which I found to be downplayed by both Whistler and Amazons' descriptives
The audio recording option is a great feature
One futuristic feature this radio scanner has is the ability to (by sub menus) route out the IF from the radio receiver if an external demodulator is needed for future radio coding schemes.

I approached it like scanning was new to me and not assume that this radio would work like every other one
excellent radio for analog and digital requirements. had to call whistler for instructions on how to operate radio and spoke to the whistler group technicians john and cheri who were absolutely fantastic in helping me out with how to adjust the dsp adapt settings for use in the nyc metro area
This is a top notch radio scanner with excellent RF sensitivity.
I didn't have any problems programming the radio for my area
