Only if you aren't close to a 2nd or 3rd tower or more on the simulcast cell

Please consider reviewing the RadioReference wikis for these scanners:

There are dozens of threads that discuss simulcast issues with non-SDS scanners. Consider reviewing these threads as well.

why is the whistler trx-1 and 2 able to decode and trunk track dmr nxdn p25 and all of that but with the unidens u have to pay to get those features. i'm starting to rethink my option on weather i should get the 325p2 or not . i have never owned a whisler what about u?

I have both the TRX-1 and TRX-2 but they are not my go to scanners.
I also will not give $700 for a scanner that was $499 when it was introduced and has not changed from its original release.
As posted 100's of times THEY DO NOT TRUNKTRACK!
They only scan voice channels LIKE THE BCD160DN and BCD260DN.
You are paying for DMR Trunking and NXDN Trunking.

You are all over the place. Stop cross-posting. You're on moderation for now, take the night off and think about something other than scanners for a while.

Short answer is yea and no. It will decode it yea but then there's that pesky simulcast distortion. That being said it all depends on your location to the various sites at the time you're trying to receive them. Given you're asking about a hand held I can only assume you're going to be moving around with it so again no, may not work for simulcast.

For hand held simulcast listening the SDS100 is what you're to likely need. Other than a subscriber radio the other option is a Unication pager for the simulcast system but they're a totally different animal.

Ok so the whistlers don't trunk tack like the unidens do . if i were trying to listen to This on the trx-1 would it handle that

As posted many times again that is searchable here. If the system is busy and your TG you are listening to unkeys they could move to the next conversation, and you miss out.
There have been people ask how to fix that. Answer buy a Uniden.
