Join HamShackTV as we stop by the Whistler booth at Dayton Hamvention 2026 to check out the latest scanner radios, monitoring technology, and communications gear from one of the most recognizable names in the scanner hobby.

From public safety monitoring to weather, aviation, railroads, and beyond, Whistler scanners remain a popular choice for radio enthusiasts looking to monitor the airwaves. In this video, we take a closer look at the radios on display, booth highlights, and the continued interest in the scanner hobby alongside amateur radio.

We’ll explore:

• Whistler scanner models on display

• Digital and trunking scanner technology

• Public safety monitoring

• Aviation and railroad scanning

• Ham radio crossover with scanner enthusiasts

• Booth atmosphere and attendee reactions

Filmed at Dayton Hamvention 2026 in Xenia, Ohio.
