Hey all - just got a TRX-2 - haven't had a scanner since the BCT7 when pretty much nothing was trunked! So it's my first time with a scanner of this type. I've got several dumb questions:
1. NXDN - the only thing I've programmed so far is my local SO, which is NXDN, in Scanlist 001. I get one radio transmission every 10 minutes or so; never a reply or any more than one transmit. Might this be linked to the NXDN issues I've read about elsewhere here? Would removing the control channel fix this?
2. What's the best way to set up Scanlists? Basically local LE in one, local fire in another, highway patrol in another, etc.? Or should things be grouped in scanlists?
3. I commute about 30 minutes every day, so I'm interested in monitoring two different areas. Is there an easy way to do this without having to scan everything all the time? Such as turn on/off several scanlists? Or maybe I need all home freqs in just one scanlist and all work-area freqs in another?
Sorry for all the dumb questions - really looking forward to getting this thing running well!
Merry Christmas!
