Whistler WS1040 Handheld Digital Scanner Radio

Whistler WS1040 Handheld Digital Scanner Radio

Q: It says in specs it picks up phase i and phase ii. why does everyone say it does not pick up phase ii?

The 1040 is the old GRE 500. Phase 1 only, but has the best sound of all my units. The TRX series does P1, P2, DMR, and NXDN. My old PSR800 got the official factory upgrade and does P1, P2, & DMR. It also takes 4 AA batteries.

Q: how many channels or banks does this have?

I am confused as to why John L answered that this scanner does not pick up P25 phase II TDMA, when it does. The information below is directly from the box of this scanner. The Whistler TRX-1 is multi-system adaptive digital trunking scanners with Motorola P25 Phase I, X2-TDMA, Phase II and DMR making it capable of monitoring the following unencrypted channels/systems: Conventional DMR (Entered as a DMR trunked system, Hytera XPT, MotoTRBO Capacity Plus, MotoTRBO Connect Plus, and MotoTRBO Linked Cap Plus systems.

Q: what type of batteries does this scanner have? Does it come with a wall charger?

Other answers are correct. I use the Panasonic BQ-CC17SBA eneloop Advanced Individual Battery Charger with 4 LED Charge Indicator Lights, White. It plugs directly in to the wall and holds 4 rechargeable AA batteries. I use Panasonic BK-3MCCA8BA Eneloop AA 2100 Cycle Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries (Pack of 8) I've not had any problems whatsoever in 3 years of using these batteries. They hold a charge and last longer than Duracel Copper Top disposables. If you are on the road, keep a spare set handy.

Q: does this pick up analog signals as well?

FM yes-broadcast FM, no. Starts at 108MHz-no 88-108MHz band, at least in an "unmodified" WS1040. was surprised as even my cheap and cheerful UV-5X has the FM broadcast band. Noot necessary in a scanner, but would be nice. This is picking up real well, even in my heavily forested, sparsely populated area. Surprisingly too-the stock rubber ducky actually brings in as strong a signal, has as much gain as my other supposedly "better" BNC telescoping and coil-loaded scanner antennas, at least so far. Why I ordered a Diamond wide-band base antenna.
