TRX-2 Software

[riverradio68]

I have two TRX-2's. I wrote a file and saved it as one name then copied it and saved is as a different name hoping to have two completely different files for each scanner. After I edited one file and saved the work to that ONE file, loaded the second file and found out it was a complete duplicate to the other basically it saved the data to both. I don't want this, is it possible to somehow save each file independent of each other so that the files stay different? And yes, I even moved one file to another folder but the software wrote to both.

Thanks

Make changes for scanner #1, then under file tab use SAVE Current Configuration to Archive, now make changes for scanner #2, do the same thing but name the file differently when you go to save it. When you want to load the scanner programming just go to file tab and Restore Configuration from Archive for which ever scanner you are changing/using. That is the only way I know of if you are using one computer.

Okay, that seemed to do the trick, Thank you VERY much.

There's another method. Use the V-Scanner folders. Save one configuration to one V-Scanner folder and the scanner#2 configuration to another V-Scanner folder and set appropriate descriptions to them. Then you'll have both configs available in EZ-Scan and also in both scanners.

I have a question on Whistler scanners.
I record different trunk groups on my TRX-1, TRX-2 and my WS-1098 and I seem to not capture all the radio ID's during recordings.
I do see the ID's on the screen while monitoring.
Is there a setting anywhere that anybody knows of that would effect the capturing of the ID's during recording?

There is not a setting per se for that, maybe if you adjust squelch, though I'm not sure that will make a difference. From what I found the RID most be present at the start of the conversation for it to be read and added to recordings/logging, if there is a delay with it showing up (as sometimes happens even on the scanner) it will not be added to recordings. Maybe @Ubbe can add something to this question.

This was a question/test run on TRX Android Suite software, where he created a test program for me to try. At the time we were trying to get the PL/CC/Slot to show up, not necessarily, the RID. The test version, which never was released because it didn't improve what we were trying to do at the time, would continuously log traffic and info throughout the conversation rather than just at the start.

Maybe @Ubbe can add something to this question.

It's probably as you explain. Most system types only transmit the RID's on the control channel data and depending of how the system are setup it can go directly, or after a short or a long delay, to the control channel after a user releases his transmit button. If one user responds immediately to the call it will not have time to revert back to the control data channel and the RID will then not be available for that users transmission.

The times it shows the RID after the initial call setup are probably when there are a noticeable delay between one user releasing his PTT and another user starts to transmit. But some system types carry extra RID info on the voice channel and in some systems Whistler scanners only scans voice channels, and it does that as soon as a user releases his PTT to try and find if a new channel where assigned to that TG, and might then miss any RID info being sent in a short burst of data just prior to the voice data being sent. So there could be different factors involved in displaying and recording RID's.

Thanks for your reply's. I didn't think any setting could be changed to help that but thought I would ask.
I run the TRX-1 squelch at about 9 o'clock. The other two base stations are at 9 in the software.
Last night I turned the squelch down to 3 on the WS-1098 and it didn't change anything on capturing more RID on the recordings.
I'm going to play with a couple other changes to see if that will help.
You guy's N1GAW and Ubbe are on the Whistlers which is a big help for the rest of us.
Many thanks for you imputs.

Recordings typically contain only the first radio ID seen when the transmission starts. Unless the channel stops transmitting you won't see any other radio IDs.

Thanks Mike for the info.
