The WS1080 was manufactured by The Whistler Group. It is operationally the same as the original GRE PSR-800 and Radio Shack Pro-668. It was replaced by the WS1088 which added a numeric keypad. Each of the aforementioned models have their own included software package which should only be used with the model it was supplied with. See the Whistler EZ Scan FAQ for an explanation of the software.
