So..I just picked up a TRX-1. $455.92.
I want to give it a chance. But is Whistler serious with the max audio level? It's way too low!!!
Yes, it is my fault for not reading the spec sheet a little closer.
"8 Ohms Resistor Load at speaker terminal, (BTL): 500 mWatts"
That's ridiculously low!! Not to mention the terrible programming software. I had to download an additional piece of software from Whistler to update the CPU firmware on the scanner because EZ Scan kept cutting out at 50%, 70%, even 99%. I almost lost my patience..
After I updated the CPU firmware, I took the microSD card out of the scanner, and inserted it directly into my laptop. That solved THAT problem..
Sending it back! A shame, I wanted to try NXDN and DMR with it. But the low audio level is too big to surmount. Disappointed.
