Thanks for the headsup. I just placed an order so I guess we'll see what happens.

I might be completely clueless! =)
Is it actually in stock or is it more for preorders? There is this little line located on the webpage.

Zipscanner says they have it in stock.
Your welcome Mancow. Let us know. I may order one the end of the week.

It says in stock and the order went through with no indication there is a stock delay. I hope it's physically there.

Just looked at the website. The language about preorder doesn't seem to be there. It was supposed to premier on Amazon. Let us know what happens. Seems to be a month or so early based on what they said at the electronics show a couple weeks ago. Universal Radio also still in "not yet approved by FCC" mode. Zipscanners might be right on the ball and got them first, or they are going to take 2 months to ship.

The pre order language is still there. I just didn't look in the right place. So its order now and shipping in 2 months.

I'm not very optimistic that it's actually in stock. I was going to get one regardless so I suppose it all pans out the same whatever happens.

I hear you. I'm pretty much in the same mode. Already ordered the 3 scanner rack to put it in.
Ah, yea after reading closer it does appear to be a preorder. Oh well. I'm going back to bed.

For those considering the purchase It sounds like a phone call is in order to get clarification. The phone number listed under the contact page goes directly to Luke who is the owner of zip scanners. When I have called him in the past with questions he has always been very quick to get back to me with answers.

I see the face is removable but is that for security or can it be remote mounted? Given the interiors on many new vehicles, there's no place to mount a full size scanner like that easily... Can someone clarify?

They sent an email saying it is not in stock and cancelled the order.

Thats sort of what I expected from zipscanners. When it does become available I hope it sells like hotcakes and Whistler does well with it and the rest of the line.
They deserve it from the hobbyists who would be down to one source without them. I also think it has been a very well made line while GRE had it and have no reason to believe thats not going to continue under Whistler.
Recently got the Whistler-made pro-652 from Radio Shack (same as the pro-197 only made by Whistler.)
I like the radio. Have a GRE PSR-800 and look forward to owning a WS-1095.
Yes... to the previous question...I believe the removable magnetic face is so that it can be creatively installed in a vehicle. Looks like you need to get a cable to make the connection. It's not wireless.

I REALLY like this feature- and would buy it exactly to mount the head in my car.

Don Starr (StarrSoft.com), the acknowledged expert on all things GRE—and now likely Whistler Scanners—has provided information beginning with the fifty-third post in this thread.

Since it's NOT in stock, I'd recommended closing this thread to avoid any further confusion.
I bet that ZipScanners sales are way way up ... hmm, I wonder why this thread was created.

I created the thread because I honestly thought they were in stock.
Signal-Zero, am I the one who needs to close this thread
