That is all that needs to be said!
Seems scanner manufacturers are chasing the "specs list and features" aspect of display boxes, and not catering to the "audiophile" scanner listeners. First scanner maker who actually finds a way to see profitability in even offering LSM reception, will turn force the other maker/s to follow suit...but until then...

A lack of resolution doesn't necessarily mean nothing has been done. It could just mean they haven't been successful yet.
LOL. WTF is an "audiophile" scanner listener? One who listens to their scanner through their high-end audio system? :roll:
Simulcast systems are not esoteric. They are becoming the norm in many locations, not the exception. Consumer scanner manufacturers seem to be willing to watch this ship sail without them. LSM capability has been ignored by them for a long time. Many consumers are now turning to professional solutions and willing to pay more for a product that actually works. Uniden and Whistler just don't seem to get it or are truly technically incompetent. Too much time has gone by for them to have not addressed this by now.
An audiophile is someone who seeks clarity in an audio signal...in this case, clarity in the audio signal would be voice as decoded by the P25 components. I would have said scannerphile, but that would be some weird nerd with a "shack", who's idea of the ideal scanner has a IF output and bandscope and really good band search speed...and maybe a color changing LCD panel. 
Uniden and Whistler need to tear apart a Unication receiver and work with the component manufacturer to obtain and integrate those LSM capable components into their next gen scanners. If they have done so already, but have decided that they would not be profitable enough to include them...then they care more about profits than their customers, and do not love us. :-(

It is not rocket science. That (the relatively inexpensive design solution to LSM reception) has been documented on this forum several times.One can buy a radio today that receives LSM flawlessly (Unication.) Sure It costs $100-$200 more than today's flawed consumer scanner because it is built to a rugged design for professional use, but it works! Next excuse?

Where did I make an excuse for them? I merely responded to what I believe to be a flaw in your comment they had not done a thing to fix an issue.
How do you know they haven't? Simply because they haven't gone down the path of the other manufacturer you mentioned?
For all we know there could be a reason why they haven't gone down the path you expect. Don't ask me why, I'm just as in the dark as everyone else, still doesn't mean they haven't tried something.
Maybe on their next models perhaps.
The TRX-2 is horrible with NXDN too. I lose so many missed conversations. But it does work well on P25 trunking. So I guess you can't have it all.
LOL!! Funny stuff in here! You folks are a riot!
