I have the new Whistler 1050.
It works well on our SF Bay area Phase 1 trunking system and an EDACS system. Audio sounds very slightly better than my PSR-500 which I gave to my daughter. Plan to do some significant testing against my Uniden 996XT and 396XT machines.
Whistler, contacted by phone, says the firmware updates for the 1050 will NOT work on the PSR-500 and vice-versa. Based on small hints there will be firmware updates coming. So far I have not seen any glitches in a few days of intensive listening and recording in freqs ranging from the low 40 mHz area to the mid 900 mHz
The latest versions of PSREDIT and WIN500 work perfectly with the new Whistler. I have not yet tested the Butel software.
