Whistler WS1098 Scanner

The Whistler WS1098 is a desktop/mobile multi-system adaptive Digital tracking trunking scanner with DMR/TRBO (with a free upgrade), Motorola P25 Phase I, X2-TDMA and Phase II capabilities. All USA/Canada services and frequencies are pre-programmed onto the included SD card making it ready to use out of the box; it can even be programmed by entering your ZIP code. This model features a removable front control panel with cable and mounting plate, an easy to use navigation with a multifunction numeric keypad, a PC program for easy customization and includes USB cable and PC software.

The WS1098 essentially replaced the WS1095 by adding a numeric keypad.
