WS Equivalent To PSR-310

[Mojaveflyer]

I'm looking to find a scanner for use with aero bands, both VHF & UHF. for air shows. I really don't care about monitoring the public safety stuff. Is there a Whistler equivalent to the GRE PSR-310?

PSR-310 Equivalent...

I looked at the specs for the WS101 and it does not include the Mil Air band, 225- 400 MHz. I believe the Uniden 125 XT does but I'm much partial to the GRE/Whistler radios... Any other ideas?

Tried that... Looked on E-Bay, Amazon.com, they don't seem to exist. Thanks!

Unfortunately, the answer is no. Whistler did not revive that line of scanners.

You might want to consult Milcom Receiving Equipment - The RadioReference Wiki for some equipment suggestions for mil air. If you are looking for a new scanner, Uniden is pretty much your only choice unless you wanted to go for Whistler's PSR-500 equivalent.

I too am a fan of GRE/Whistler products but I purchased a Uniden BC125AT for monitoring trains and military air. It is a wonderful unit with great screen, sound and sensitivity and pocket size. For $100.00 you can't go wrong.

Whistler Equivalent For PSR-310

Aircraft and railroads was the main motivation for this. I have a PSR-500 but would like something smaller... will think about that. What software do you use for the Uniden? I always found the Butel software less than user friendly. I use Butel software for all of my other scanners, PSR-500, PSR-600, and Pro-197.

There is ARC125 from BuTel, but there's also the freeware Scan125, and Uniden's native offering....links are in our wiki...

I too have a GRE PSR 500 which I think is the best scanner ever made but it is deaf on railroad and aircraft bands compared to the Uniden BC125AT. The Uniden has software on it's website to program the BC125AT. It is as simple as software can be but works just fine.
