SCANNING: There's a NEW Whistler selling scanners

NatCom talked with Whistler about their plans to grow the new business and its product line

Summary of this article: There’s a new Whistler in town selling scanners like previous, but with a new attitude that is focused on customers and innovation. National Communications Magazine talked with one of the new business’ leaders to find out what to expect in scanners and data updates — as well as radios that were returned to the old Whistler and apparently lost — as well as plans moving forward for a business that just got up and running this week in a new location.

We wrote Whistler Group’s obituary last year as business operations spun down, leaving customers in the dark about support, data updates and the ability to buy new scanners.
