My WS-1080's database is pretty outdated, but I'm getting the socket error when I try to bring it up to date. And I see that the whistlergroup.com site is an absolute mess.

I used the Internet Archive Wayback Machine (web.archive.org) and was able to view previously saved/archived versions of the Whistler Group website when it was fully functional. I was able to drill down to the Manual Library Update webpage (captured on 08-03-2024) but unfortunately it only contains the detailed instructions on how to do a manual update and does not contain the actual library update file.

If someone can post a zip file (or link to a file they are hosting) of the latest library update from their PC, you could use that with the detailed instructions linked above to update your scanner(s). I believe the latest version of the library that Whistler had posted via EZ Scan (before things went sideways) was version 891 which was from a few weeks back.

The latest I have is 889 but its installed. I dont think I have the original zip file with the update anymore. Hopefully someone has the 891 or later update they could post.

I have a PRO-668. It had all the trunking stuff for SC. I just moved to Western MI. Does the radio have what II need onboard and I am just not aware of how to get it to load? OR must I try to go to this EZ Scan website that currently is NOT in Service? I am afraid to buy ANY whistler product (like a radar detector) now because the whistler website is in fact huge mess and everything I am reading here suggests they are going under?? I think there is maybe a library in the PRO-668 onboard chip ??
