Whistler's TRX100/TRX200 gone!

[trentbob]

Wonder if Whistler is working on the HAL 2000?

That would be from 2001 so the year of the technology would be just about right

I think it's a moot point if you can't hear it.

Both would apply

Sad news about the TRX-100 and TRX-200 but it's great to hear they already have several other new projects on tap for the future.

yea probably more radar detectors that dont work either

What about the directional rubber ducky to overcome LSM distortion? Rumor has it that is still in the pipeline and the "good news" is the included tin foil is not an additional charge.

I was personally looking forward to seeing what innovations Whistler was going to bring to the table. More scanners, more options for customers, people being able to find things that work better for them; it's all good for the market.

If I am smiling, it is a bittersweet smile. No schadenfreude, here.

I feel that it's worth pointing out that two of the classiest posts in this thread were made by Whistler's direct competition. Perhaps there's a lesson to be learned from their example.

Not surprising in the least.

Friends dont let friends buy TRX-1s

I love my SDS's, but I love my TRX-1 also. The fact I can do a search, and it will allow me to set a certain digital mode (NXDN/DMR/ and/or P25) and ignore the others, places it in my arsenal of tools to sniff stuff out.

 

[TailGator911]

There are good things to be said for the TRX-1, and it has a place on my desk and in my truck as a solid performer on everything except linear simulcast modulation. In a pinch, I would use it for that as well, as it was the best radio I had out of 3 digital scanners on the Ohio MARCS simulcast system here. And, I've said it before and I'll say it again, the TRX-1 out-performs any radio I own on DMR coverage. I think all of the nasty remarks directed at Whistler are uncalled for. They had a serious setback, and they are trying to overcome their mishap here. I hope they do, and I hope they release a radio in the future that will have all of their antagonists reaching for their wallets as they study the floor. I wouldn't count them out until they throw in the towel and admit defeat. Any UFC fans out there? It ain't over til it's over...

I did not see that coming.

How Whistler "hope and dreamers" are feeling like....

So Whistler is pretty much dead to us anymore. There is no reason to buy their radios anymore. They don't trunk track right. Plus why buy a radio from a company that lies to you and who knows if they will support the radios anymore and provide firmware updates.

If you stick with Uniden they are releasing firmware updates to their older radios and making rock solid with DMR and NXDN and the radio's trunk track right. Plus the TRX 1 and 2 are way too expensive for what they can do at this point. Who cares if you get DMR and NXDN for Free. Nothing is ever free in this world. I mean to keep bashing since I have a WS1065 radio which is a good radio but its now going to get replaced in its spot to house another BCD996P2.

Think of the poor Mystery Boxes!!!!!!!!

I guess we're just gonna ignore the squelch circuit on the TRX 1 and 2 that is absolute trash? And the complete lack of front end filtering? For $600 I should be able to drive through center city Philadelphia without hearing commercial paging data coming out of my speaker along with the analog transmission. Absolutely unacceptable!

 

[phillydjdan]

The interesting thing about that link is that it takes me to a thread in the private forum used by the moderators to deal with reported posts. You may think it's a dead link, but, to me, it's a good link. Not sure how CQ came up with it, but I'm not losing any sleep over it.

Wonder how many times my name was mentioned LOL

Dan you forgot to mention that the TRX radios also cannot pick up Philly fire and police simulcast because of LSM issues. They also don't work a lick on Bucks County P2 simulcast, not a lick. If they made a radio that worked on my hometown police and fire I would consider purchasing it but until then...

Had I known then what I know now, I would have kept my rock solid bcd396xt.

While the 396XT is not the latest and greatest, it IS a workhorse! And most of the time it is workable on my local simulcast system. I have my G5 for the times when the 396XT is having simulcast issues.

Nine pages and I still don't know why this isn't in the Whistler forum where it belongs.

Whistler doesn't have a tavern. All the drunks have to come get rowdy in my basement.

PARTY at Whistler Wendys! There, fixed that problem for you.
