For those in the other thread I decided to open this one and show you what is going on.
Here we have these two scanners side by side running a basic test for you to see what the TRX-2 is doing.
Here is the signal strength of both scanners while on manual holding of the channel.

Here you will see the 436 has full steady signal and comes in clear for the most part even with the encrypted channels programmed in. I have the same channels programed into the TRX-2 and enabled as the 436 and as you see it (TRX) does nothing. Even though it did try at the very beginning of the video with having some audio coming out of it. I had the 436 on manual hold and scanning on the TRX.

Here you will see it will bring in the VSP P25 system but, it is hit or miss most of the times. When mobile or stationary the signal jumps around like the Sposty P25 system:

This is how it acts just about all of the time with the VSP system also:

Transmission from the TRX-2 on the Spotsy P25 system from a couple days ago while mobile in my truck sitting basically in the middle of the towers for the system parked in a parking lot:

Now, I've updated & tweaked every setting I could up and then back down with the TRX. I did a factory wipe of the unit and SD card three different times. Never to pull from an old setting or file. And now, I have done it once more since the other day and have this the way you see it. I am not using an outside antenna while home as I'm not allowed to have that. I use the stock antenna along with a few other antennas I have used for years on my scanners and it is all the same thing for the TRX-2.
I think after the second or third firmware that came out things have steadily gotten worse for the P25 systems I'm trying to cover. Like I said, sometimes I can get things to come in but 20 minutes later, they are gone.
I have watched the scanning capabilities of the TRX and it seems like as of now when holding on a channel manually it will get the signal to come in after about a minute of scanning the tower(s) but does drop off like in the first video and then while scanning the folder (with other folders or by itself) it will just go on by not catching anything.
I hope this helps those who wanted to see this and hopefully Whistler will have a better firmware to come to help fix or enhance what is missing here.
