TRX1,WS1088

What difference between trx1 and ws1088 receivers sections.

(deleted) Mixed up 1088 vs 1098.

TRx-1 picks up NXDN

I believe there are differences in the displays as well.

My guess is the same just more memory for firmware I remember this being discussed here before.

Another notable difference is with DMR. The whistler's have a problem decoding DMR systems that use RAS. On the TRX-1 there is a setting where you can skip DMR talkgroup ID. Without this setting it doesn't stop on any transmissions. The WS1088 doesn't have this setting so if you live near one of these systems it would be virtually deaf. Both work great on the other DMR systems though.

@ the OP? What do the manuals say about each and their "receiver" sections?

I am going off what was said in the threads back in the hacked firmware days.

It only works for conventional DMR frequencies so there's no TG management, lockout or name tags. The function aren't avaliable in trunked systems where you can manage talk groups. So the value of it are limited. It also seems to make decoding unreliable, even at full signal strenght, as I have one frequency programmed at two conventional positions next to each other, each with a single TG and it sometimes decode conversations on one TG as the other TG.

When Uniden added RAS compatibilty the decoding problems begun for all trunked DMR systems.

So I guess if I’m not worried about NXDN I could get a ws1080.

A WS-1088 has a keyboard that makes it a little more user friendly.
