Skywarn Storm Spotter Channels
Get real-time access to storm spotter networks used by trained weather watchers across the country. Monitor developing storm conditions as they happen and stay informed about dangerous weather before it’s officially announced by media or emergency agencies.
Find Signals Fast
Spectrum Sweeper and Service Banks simplify scanning by quickly locating nearby transmissions or organizing frequencies by category (fire/police, marine, aircraft, ham, and more). No more endless searching — just fast results.
Priority Channel
Never miss critical updates. The WS1025 automatically checks your designated priority channel every two seconds — even while scanning other frequencies — so your most important channel always comes through loud and clear.
