  • Great Little Scanner
Color: Black Style: Whistler TRX-1 Handheld Digital Scanner Pattern Name: Radio
This is an excellent little scanner. But, pay attention, you need the programming software. If you own a Mac, you'll need to find a PC to program this, as the software will not work on a Mac. The radio's performance has been excellent. I have a trunked APCO P25 Phase II system where I live and it decodes it perfectly. None of the channels are encrypted. If your channels are encrypted it is not going to get them. About the software. It's not intuitive. But it is very powerful. I tried to program with the software about a dozen times using the instructions I found in videos on-line, only to discover that an important step in the programming process had been left out. When you set up this software you can have it program all your local channels into a series of call lists starting at list # 151. If you do this you can select those that you want to listen to and the scanner will scan dozens of channels you may not give a hoot about. I wanted just to scan certain frequencies where I knew there would be traffic. So I used the software, selected those channels, and every time I did it wouldn't program the scan lists. I went back and re-did this several times following the instructions I copied from the video, then watched the video again. Finally, I did something I almost NEVER do... I read the damned instructions. When you select a PREFERRED scan then you can program your own scan lists and import just the channels you want. You have to be careful though, because once you program it, it's difficult to change it. The radio has excellent reception, however, I replaced the stock antenna with an 800 mhm antenna available here on Amazon. That improved the reliability of the scans of my 800 mhz channels locally without adversely affecting the conventional channels I also receive. Overall, 2 thumbs up on this radio. I can firmly recommend. AD0DQ ... show more

  • Overall, very good scanner. I would buy again
Color: Black Style: Whistler TRX-1 Handheld Digital Scanner Pattern Name: Radio
I've had this about a day and my initial impressions are: Pro - Very flexible programing. I'm using the scan sets in conjunction with the scan lists to tailor different scanning objects The unit is very configurable on its own without the EZ-Scan software Good interface in the scanner to quickly get up and running by zip code, county or city The unit is really high quality - good sound, easy to read buttons and great case for protection. You can charge while listening. You can create v-scanner folders with different scanner frequencies which are selectable on the fly. I use one folder per state. Con- That EZ- Scan software. It is powerful and you can do a lot, but it is NOT intuitive. It took me several hours to figure it out (even when using documentation. It can take a bit of time to go operational when it is turned on. Mine takes about 30 seconds as it parses through the config files / databases. Instant scanning when turned on is not possible. I suppose it would take less time with less frequencies though I would prefer a knob for volume control, rather than the up and down arrows. ... show more

  • I so wanted this to be the scanner.
Color: Black Style: Whistler TRX-1 Handheld Digital Scanner Pattern Name: Radio
I am an experienced scanner user since 1970. There were only two companies and Whistler would become a fuzz buster. I opted for the top of the line Uniden (Regency died a slow death long ago). The Uniden was the unnecessarily hardest to program scanner I had ever seen. I sent it back since the cryptic system wasn't well supported. I took a chance on Whistler figuring they had figured it out and had a programming system that worked. To my surprise, the programming was excellent. The software actually worked but the ability to control the scanner quickly gave way to cryptic programming and slow scan speed. For trunking, I almost never heard both sides of the conversation. I found it difficult to select only one trunked system and exclude all others--but wait, I just paid $500 for a miracle scanner that did it all. It almost did. Almost. Big con for me was the inability to program it with a Mac. Next con was the poor audio system. Too weak for mobile use. Then there's the digital warble of poorly decoded speech. When the TRX-1 worked it's best, it was still mostly unintelligible. I miss VHF. I miss Regency. I miss crystals. I also missed my $500 so I took it back. Someday a completely controllable system will be built and will be easily programmable. Alpha numeric labeling is the finest thing that any newsroom can have. Maybe Whistler can make such a scanner. It would be worth $500. The TRX-1 is not. ... show more
