The WS1040 features Object Oriented programming which has often been regarded by users as easy to program and use. Virtual Scanner mode stores 21 various scanner configurations for a total storage capacity of over 38,000 scannable objects. This model offers a dedicated Skywarn button and Spectrum Sweeper that quickly sweeps the scanner’s frequency ranges for transmissions from nearby sources. You can lock out found frequencies and continue searching in the same band.
