I'm not familiar with Whistler scanners, I personally own and use SDS 100 & 200 scanners, thus the reason for this inquiry.
I have a friend who is a Senior Citizen on a fixed income who wants to acquire a digital scanner, but cannot afford the price of an SDS scanner. I advised her that I would research the WS1065 for her.
She resides in Henry County, Ohio
She would be scanning the Northwest Ohio Regional Public Safety System (NORPSS) using the Hamler and Wauseon towers for Henry County SO, Fire and EMS And Napoleon PD, Fire, EMS.
She would also be scanning the Defiance and Holgate towers for the Ohio MARCS-IP: Multi-Agency Radio Communications frequencies for the Ohio Highway Patrol District One.
My questions are,
1) Does anyone own and use a Whistler WS1065 to monitor the above mentioned frequencies, or those similar to them?
and
2) If so, how does the scanner perform scanning those frequencies?
and
3) Would you recommend this scanner to my Senior Citizen friend on a fixed income?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. I feel I must be very sure before I recommend her to buy this scanner because even a purchase of $270.00 is a major expenditure to her.
