Refurbished TRX2 $400 Friday 2/15/2018
Yes, Thursday. Sorry about that. Since I retired I sometimes forget what day it is.
Six Saturdays and a Sunday!
I received my refurbished TRX-2 today, (Thursday, 2/22/18). Physically it looked fine. I updated the firmware and software. So far it receives well on all frequencies. No problems at this time. They have a different way of placing a new serial number on the radio however. Anyone else receive their TRX-2?
There has been no 3rd-party software support for anything newer (if that term applies) than the PSR-600. Starting with the PSR-800/Pro-18 we've been locked into the included software. Which IMHO is ridiculous.Got mine. It arrived in about as new condition, no real issues. Postal carrier left the box on the front porch in the pouring rain and didn't ring the doorbell or I didn't hear it, so the box was pretty wet. Fortunately the moisture did not get inside the package.
It works a bit differently from the Uniden and GRE scanners that I'm used to. I was surprised to learn that Butel can't support them because of a lack of info from Whistler. I did not know this prior to ordering and it could have influenced my decision. But I'm getting to know the software (and its bugs).
I've setup a DMR trunked system for the amateur DMR in this area and just imported the Radio ID list from DMR MARC, settting callsign as the Alpha Tag. I suppose if I wanted to massage things a big I could concatenate the Callsign and Name into the Alpha Tag field, but I want to see how this goes first. The was a bug on importing. I could not get the Alpha Tag field to display in the dropdown until I made it a column heading in a CSV. Clipboard never displayed the field as a choice.
