Bentonville, AR (PRWEB) October 02, 2013
The Whistler Group, Inc., a leading industry supplier of laser/radar detectors, is announcing entry into the radio scanner market. Whistler has purchased the intellectual property of scanner industry leader, GRE America, Inc., and plans to launch a complete line of scanners under the Whistler brand.
Whistler is proud to enter the scanning receiver business, picking up popular scanner models often characterized by hobbyists as easiest to program and use. Whistler scanners will include handheld and desktop/mobile digital scanners with full keyboard, a handheld scanner with USA/Canada database built in, and two models of VHF/UHF non-trunking scanners. The assortment will include the first and only scanner that works on newer modulation protocols including P25-Phase II.
Models feature an Object Oriented User Interface, context sensitive help menus and three soft keys for easy programming, Digital AGC and superfast DSP for clearest possible audio on digital signals, user upgradable CPU and DSP firmware and an alert LED which can be programmed to light when any object goes active.
Whistler is committed to advancing state of the art technology in scanning receivers. “This is an exciting opportunity to produce a quality product that keeps up with changing industry technology. We look forward to making positive contributions to this industry,” states Jesse Hopkins, President/CEO of Whistler.
Whistler brand scanners will be available for retail and distribution in the first quarter of 2014.
