TRX-1: TRX 1

[scannerprogrammingofLvKs]

Does the TRX 1 work good with simulcast system ?

Moved from the Uniden forum as I'm about 101% sure they don't have a TRX-1 model...but I could be wrong.

I owned one for a hot minute. Was the absolute worst performer out of all my radios on simulcast

@KevinC you are never wrong

The ONLY scanners that work good with simulcast are the SDS series Uniden scanners.

No it does not.

I haven't had many issues with simulcast on the 5 that I own, but YMMV.

If you live in the middle of all the towers for that trunked system, nope. If you live on the edge of the towers you can play with shorty antenna , unit direction ( handhelds) and attenuation to help.

I've had 'some' success by deleting sites from the various talk groups.

Not applicable to the OP's inquiry since simulcast cells are treated as one "site" on the scanner

Also Home patrol

Also Home patrol

Home Patrol HP-1 and HP-2 are Not reliably good on Simulcast.

Quite the opposite. Plenty of simulcast issues documented with the HPs, search the forums and see

 

[Nasby]

In my experience, the Homepatrols are some of the absolute worst in handling simulcast.

I have several Whistler scanners and monitor simulcast systems and they do a decent job. Not 100 percent but darn good enough for the price. There's a lot of die hard Uniden fan boys here 🙄

I have a HP2. Works great on the system here ( Phoenix) but the TRX-1 can't even decipher

Everyone will have different results with every type of scanner depending upon their location. That is the nature of simulcast distortion. Those who have no receive problems with simulcast sites are very lucky to be in a good location. At my residence, the only radios which will receive my local Baltimore County MD simulcast system are the Uniden SDS100 and SDS200 scanners and Unication G4/G5 pagers.
