Whistler Signal Stalker & Spectrum Sweeper

Do you want to know how to use Whistler's signal stalker or spectrum sweeper functions?

In this episode, Phil explains how to access and use these features, the options you have, use cases, and more.

What You Need To Know

  • The signal stalker and spectrum sweeper features are found on many RadioShack Pro series scanners, as well as GRE Whistler object-oriented scanning.
  • Signal Stalker and spectrum sweeper are the same.
  • The scanner will rapidly search for a strong signal that's coming through at a set value over the noise floor.
  • Signal Stalker is not a solution for finding frequencies while traveling, similar to Uniden close call.
  • As a refresher, an example of how to use these types of features is tuning into a traffic or news helicopter overhead.
  • You can also use it to listen in to sporting events, construction sites, department store security, and more.
