TRX-2 l o n g bootup time

[RStolting]

I just received a TRX-2 and I have a question about the "verifying data" screen between this, and my TRX-1. The TRX-2 does 6 sweeps under verifying data, when the TRX-1 does it in 1 1/2 sweeps. They both have the exact same personality. What am I missing? BTW.... Fantastic scanner, love the remote head!

I counted 3 - 4 "verifying data" messages when I booted up my TRX-2. This may be dependent on what you have stored on your SD card and its size. So yes, it does require a certain amount of patience, but I agree, the TRX-2 is a fantastic scanner. To my ears, the decode quality of digital transmission is superior to any other receiver that I have heard. And although I appreciate all the bells and whistles, and the wonderful display screen on my Uniden SDS-200 (also a great piece of equipment), the TRX-2 seems to do a better job at decoding.

Also Kudos to Whistler--- you don't have to pay extra for some of the digital modes, as you have to with the Uniden. However, one must give a lot of credit to Uniden for pretty much nailing down the simulcast issue, something which can be problematic on Whistlers and other scanners, depending on your location. Not sure how you are using your TRX-2, but mine is mostly used at home and is pretty much "on" 24/7.

Have fun with your new "toy".

I remember several threads on this over the years. Seems to be an issue with the size of the card among some other things. This thread

TRX-2 - Super Long Boot Up Time after adding DMR and NXDN Scan Lists

Hi there, I had my TRX-2 for a few months, but just now started playing with DMR and NXDN. After adding two additional scan lists last night, I noticed the scanner boot time runs through the normal 30ish seconds or so before it gives me the option to Scan. Once I hit scan, it starts...

forums.radioreference.com

makes some mention of that as well. Some users mention the factory service rep Don Starr provided some insight.

No idea if any of that info is helpful to you but it may be somewhere to start.

I see the same thing. The "Init File Sys" check takes the same amount of time but "Verifying Data" process are 3 times quicker on the TRX-1 compared to TRX-2 with identical programming. Maybe it's using a faster CPU in the TRX-1. It's also different to how the squelch works and the delay until it unmutes the speaker and are able to keep up with the USB data transfer rate and those kinds of small things, much improved in TRX-1. Too bad that the squelch knob wasn't instead a dual mode volume/dial knob like on the Uniden 436 as it would had been a great scanner.
