TRX-1 UK Bandplan Not Quite Right

[woodpecker]

Nice to see a UK bandplan appear in the TRX-1 but it needs options to add 3.125 kHz and 6.25 kHz offsets or the option to tune in 3.125 kHz steps, the limit search doesn't stop on Tier III systems on frequencies like 154.09375 MHz 154.33125 MHz

It would be much nicer to be able to set a step and mode for limit search.

Also could there be an option to re-program the bands like Public Service search, why not make them user defined?

Its a shame the Whistler scanners seem so locked down and inflexible compared to the Unidens.

Do the Uniden scanners have different band plans like that? I thought all scanners just had the US and Canada band plans.

It appeared in the TRX-1 firmware update yesterday, Uniden only have USA and Canada plans but they are much more flexible than the Whistler scanners and its never caused a problem for me.

You may want to try the Flex step option on the unit.

I don't think flex step makes any difference with limit search, the UK bandplan is a mess, its got 5kHz steps around 160MHz and we don't use that step here.

You may want to use the scannersuggestions email link that Whistler provided to provide input. The bandplan appears to software driven so it would seem likely that changes and tweaks can be made.
