Which would be a better mobile scanner? The TRX-2 or BCD536HP?
I have not used a TRX-2 but I really like my BCD536HP when I'm on the road. The GPS function works very well and makes traveling a lot of fun. It does everything automatically so I really don't need to look at the display while I'm driving.
If you want to be able to see the display,go with the WHISTLER TRX-2,the faceplate has magnets,it can go anywhere really.Better receive sensitivity.
I find the 536HP lacking sensitivity in the 440 mhz ham band as well.
Very hard on the eyes,even after setting up the capital letters for all the lines,I still had a rough time with the 536HP,mine never went mobile but it didnt receive very well in my base with a giant antenna on my roof so I doubt the 536hP works any good in the mobile.
to me if youre going Uniden a 996P2 display is alot clearer and decode is the same as the 536hp for mobile and no SD card to corrupt.
