Whistler WS1065 Digital Base/Mobile Police Scanner
The Whistler WS1065 is a base/mobile digital police scanner designed for monitoring analog and P25 Phase I trunked radio systems.
Ideal for hobbyists, first responders, and radio enthusiasts, it provides clear, reliable audio for real-time monitoring at home or on the road.
With features like object-oriented programming and scan lists, it helps you stay informed with fast, organized scanning wherever you use it.
Always be in the know with this digital Base/Mobile scanner. The WS1065 stores up to 1,800 frequencies and lets you search for nearby frequency transmissions and automatically jump to a found transmission. Plus, it lets you hear storm reports and more before they are broadcast on TV or radio.
Fast shipping, expert programming available, and U.S.-based support for your scanner radio. In the box
Q: Does the Whistler WS1065 support digital police and emergency channels? A: Yes. The WS1065 supports APCO Project 25 (P25) Phase I digital systems, allowing you to monitor many modern police, fire, and EMS communications. It does not support Phase II systems.
Q: Is the WS1065 easy to program? A: Programming can be done manually, but most users prefer using software with a PC connection for faster setup. Pre-programmed options or programming services can make it much easier to get started.
Q: Can I use this scanner in my car and at home? A: Yes. The WS1065 is designed as a base/mobile scanner, meaning it works well both as a desktop unit at home or mounted in a vehicle with the proper power connection.
Q: Will this scanner work in my area? A: It depends on your local radio systems. The WS1065 works best in areas using analog and P25 Phase I systems. If your area uses Phase II or encrypted systems, this scanner may have limitations.
Q: Does the WS1065 come with everything I need to start scanning? A: It includes the scanner, power cord, mounting hardware, and antenna. However, you may want additional accessories or programming support for the best experience.
HomeTown Programming Setup & Optimize Programming Service
Get your Whistler WS1065 set up and ready to go with our optional programming service. We can pre-load local police, fire, and EMS channels based on your location so you can start scanning right out of the box.
Choose from 1, 2, or 3 counties, depending on how wide an area you want to cover. This is especially helpful for travel, border areas, or anyone who wants broader coverage.
Programming is customized using the latest frequency data and organized for easy scanning, so you spend less time setting up and more time listening.
Programming will add 7-14 days to your chosen ship time.

Features
Alert LED Programmable multi-color LED can be configured to illuminate or flash when certain objects are active. Eight user-defined colors can be specified from thousands of possible combinations.
Audible Alarms Programmable audible alarms can be configured to sound when certain Scannable Objects are active. Can be used in conjunction with, or separately from, the Alert LED described above.
Automatic Adaptive Digital Tracking 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.
Backlit Liquid Crystal Display easy to read and program data even in low light situations.
Data Cloning allows transfer of the programmed data to another WS1065 scanner.
Digital AGC Instantly compensates for low user audio levels that are common on digital systems.
Free-Form Memory Organization Allocation of memory dynamically and efficiently as it is needed. This differs from low cost and older scanners that had memory organized in rigid and wasteful memory banks.
High Speed PC Interface Use a USB Scanner programming cable for full duplex mode at 6 times the speed of previous scanner models for PC transfer and 8 times the speed of previous models for radio to radio cloning. High speed special USB to scanner programming cable included. Clones with another WS1040 handheld or with another WS1065 desktop/mobile scanner.
Key Lock lock the scanner’s keys to help prevent accidentally changing the scanner’s programming.
Lock-out Function skip over specified channels or frequencies when scanning or searching.
LTR Home Repeater AutoMove Takes the guesswork out of programming LTR trunking systems when the home repeater order is not known. Enter the LTR system frequencies in any order, and the WS-1065 will automatically move the frequencies to the proper home repeater slots as transmissions are received on the system.
Memory Backup frequencies remain stored in memory for an extended time even without batteries.
Menu Driven Programming with Context Sensitive Help Each menu item provides a few lines of help text that provide assistance with programming and using the scanner.
Multi-System Trunking Scans most common trunked radio system signaling formats, including Motorola, EDACS, LTR and P25 trunked radio networks. Both talkgroup and individual call monitoring are supported.
Object Oriented User Interface Exclusive to Whistler designs, features common data entry, browsing and control methods are used for every scannable object. All are programmed and stored in the same way.
P25 NAC Functionality P25 Network Access Code (NAC) is used to provide selective squelch operation on conventional digital channels. Your WS1040 will detect the NAC that is being used on a P25 conventional digital channel, and allow you to program NAC codes to block transmissions that do not have a matching NAC, including analog traffic on the same frequency.
PC programmable allows users to backup data, update database and program scanner directly from a PC. (BuTel ARC500 software required)
Priority Channel set the scanner to check one channel every two seconds while scanning.
Real-time Signal Strength Indicator Shows relative strength of received signals.
SAME and All Hazards Weather Alerting displays the weather event and sounds an alert for a specific county or counties of your choice.
Scan Delay delays scanning for two seconds before moving to another channel in order to hear replies.
Scan List functionality allows you to arrange, group and scan objects according to your preference.
Skywarn Storm Spotter Functionality provides instant access to frequencies used by storm spotter networks. Monitor storm conditions as they occur, and become aware of dangerous conditions before the media or emergency management officials are able to announce them to the general public.
Spectrum Sweeper Quickly sweeps the scanner’s frequency ranges for transmissions from nearby sources. Lock out found frequencies and continue searching in the same band.
Subaudible Squelch Decoder CTCSS and DCS subaudible squelch coding is processed by the same powerful DSP chip that is used for P25 digital decoding. Provides fast and reliable decoding of subaudible squelch signaling with squelch tail elimination.
Tune find new and unlisted frequencies starting from a specified frequency.
V-Scanner Technology Allows you to save complete radio configurations within the radio, for recall into main memory as needed in the field. Twenty one V-Scanner Folders are provided, each capable of storing over 1,800 objects. Total memory capacity of main memory combined with V-Scanners is over 37,800 objects.
Great scanner. It is worth paying the little extra to have them program what you would like to have on the scanner. Mine came ready programed and ready to turn on out of the box. It has very clear sound with bright display and read outs. I would recommend this to any one who wants to listen to call or is a former fire, ems or law personnel.

ws1065
I like the sound but it was hard to program . I can program only one town but not the county . did not include a way to put in my car. I have a frequency I want to add to but it is hard to not can do. this scanner is not for the average person as it was poorly designed
