Okay, as the title suggests, my TRX-1 may be a total piece of junk.
I received it second-hand from a responsible scanner owner, all stock. Naturally, the stock antenna isn't good at all, so I upgraded to the Remtronix 800B. Even with the 800B on, it doesn't receive transmissions until 1-2 seconds into the transmission, it has extreme distortion, and a long squelch tail after the transmission, thus cutting off other traffic. I have messed with the squelch to no avail.
On top of this, I have a half-cracked LCD from a minor fall it took off of my desk, onto my hardwood floor. This unit doesn't not have a warranty. Can I send this to Whistler and get it fixed, if so at what rates? Or heck, maybe get a full unit replacement for cheaper than MSRP? Thanks in advanced.
