I went from a pair of Unident 325P2's to a TRX-1 and was never happier. The Unidon'ts were utter garbage, even on a massive 7/800mhz 6 cell simulcast system. Hilariously enough, a few months after I switched, that system upgraded to a new flavor of SmartZone (7.17 I think) and the TRX had no simulcast issues.
Over the next few years I bought 3 more TRX-1s. They're my workhorses and handle whatever I throw at them. I'm on the road 200+ days a year for work and they've adapted to any environment, from arctic Alaska at -40* and a barren radio wasteland, to Vegas in the summer at 115* and more RF than anyone can handle. A few times guest lecturing at the LAPD Academy was a joyous experience due to all useful the radio info extracted. I've taken them OCONUS and found them to still work wonders...even if I only understand "bathroom", "bar" and "taxi" in the local lingo.
I despaired at EZ-Scan for about 3 days before it "clicked" in my head. It's supermely intuitive to me, unlike "sentinel", which reminds me of the Mac video from years ago:
Before "that guy" comes in screaming in all caps that the Whistlers "
DO NOT TRUNKTRACK!!!" (which is a completely made-up Unidamn marketing word), I'll state I've never had an issue, whether on a multi-state Capacity Max system or a 2 channel small hotel Cap+ system. VHF phase-1? UHF phase-2? 7/8/900 phase 1 or 2? All no issues.
Clean living, multiple marriages, caffeine and nicotine have paid many dividends when it comes to scanning luck.
Unfortunately, I also had to lately purchase a 436HP due to my new hometown using ProVoice. Daily, I have to talk myself out of throwing that POS into a river...at an alligator...while on fire. In years gone by, I'd owned a Pro94 that was a colossal waste of money. I once made the statement it was the worst radio I've ever owned (out of around 30 radios). Now, I think I've found a worthy contender for that title.
