    TRX-1: TRX-1E gone deaf

    Anyone experienced an issue with their TRX-1E going deaf? Mine is going back for service/repair as over the last few weeks it started to drop signals and now will not receive anything. I've updated the DSP and CPU just to be safe, even though it was up to date, formatted the card, tried other...

    Anyone Know Where to Download the latest RR Database (RRDB) Now That Whistler is Out of Business?

    I used to update my old Radio Shack scanner using the Pro-668 software and updating the Radio Reference Database Files, but since RS is out of biz, I would just download the latest RR DB from the Whistler website, but now that Whistler is out of biz, I don't know where else I can download it...

    Shopping for MSP, Minnesota area..

    I have an old RadioShack 20-315 handheld looking to upgrade. So many options since I last looked my head is spinning! I think I'd like Whistler because it's more like the RadioShacks I'm used to (because they bought them?) but I hear they struggle with simulcast, but does anyone happen to know...

    TRX-1: Can I turn FlexStep back off after programming a frequency to memory?

    I had to add 154.5275 to one of my scanlists and it kept saving as .5250, I was able to correct it after turning on the flexstep in global settings but now it makes my range searching a bit slower. If I turn it back off will the frequency of the programmed channel remain the same or will it mess...

    Can anyone determine if I have trunking properly programmed?

    Currently running the Whistler WS1065. Admittedly this is my first experience with using a modern scanner. Now, I've gotten conventional frequencies programmed and they seem to come in occasionally but I'd like to perhaps try to get some trunking stations working, despite the fact that my county...

    Ws1010 analog scanner

    So in wanted an analog scanner mainly for airband. I almost exclusively buy things thru amazon prime so I had to pick between a 120 dollar Whistler or a 200 dollar uniden. I'm a Uniden guy, with uniden radios, and 3 uniden scanners, so this is my first time with Whistler. I got the scanner...

    BCT15X vs WS1065

    What is better in terms of programmability, sensitivity, usability, mobility, and quality? Either will be used to listen to analog systems.

    Need Help New TRX-1

    I just bought a TRX-1 because I want to listen to my local police and fire departments. I'm still learning the device but the only problem I'm having is the city police and county sheriff's transmission are very garbled. It's not understandable. It's not a signal problem it's something else. I...

    Is Whistler Still in the Scanner Business ?

    I haven't heard anything lately (in Years) from Whistler about any new scanners. Please excuse my ignorance... but are they still in the scanner business? Their former top-of-the-line scanner show "Sold Out" on their web site. I hate to see the competition disappear from the hobby. Thanks !

    What is TriMed On?

    I thought TriMed was on the TRBOWEST system. I loaded their TGs into the TRX-1, but haven't herd anything the best 30-45 minutes. They're not encrypted, are they?

    Radio IDs Whistler 1040

    Looking to see if there is a way to change Radio IDs from a number to text using ARC500 software on my WS 1040. I was able to change settings to see the Radio ID number or alias now wondering how to change the number to a text tag.
