Whistler TRX 100 & TRX 200

[rednecknerd]

Work smarter, not harder.

That seems like a foreign concept to some people...

What is this thread about?

A better question, why hasn't it been locked yet? I've seldom seen such bad behavior on this site.

 

[scannermike11]

so what is the latest on the TRX1OO
that is what this thread about yes

This thread is quite tame compared to others.

Haven't been here as long as you but I've been here awhile and I respectfully disagree, but that's O/T.

Looking forward to the new scanners, waiting patiently...I like my Whistlers/GREs so far and I hope the trend continues.

I sure hope the TRX-200 works better than the current TRX-2 that I have. Worst reception ever.

If you want to push buttons for a whole trip, knock yourself out. Work smarter, not harder.

If you were spending a whole road trip 'pushing buttons', you were doing it wrong.

No "fanboy" here, but I use GPS because I travel a lot throughout the state I work in, and I don't want to have to keep locking out and locking in different areas I enter and depart from.

Incorrect assumption on your part, I program my scanners myself. I use the database here maybe 40% of the time, the rest is what I have from my own resources.

As do I. I use the database here maybe 0% of the time.

I also have no need for a GPS as I do not listen to the cops, fire or State Patrol. Thusly I find it amusing when the number one gripe about scanners here is the GPS feature.

Now with less button mashing.

Last time I did that was with my 760XLT

Is that image "for real"?

Well, I personally could care less how many iterations of the STD100 (and all the bug fixes/paid upgrades/working batteries/decent antennas) they release. Fanboys that want a GPS scanner because they can't program beyond the RR database can keep their Unidens.

that's not necessarily true, and your comment is myopic, some of us want GPS scanner because we drive across the country and it only makes sense to use a GPS to control the radio, this is one reason I haven't bought a whistler, if they did add GPS then I might consider it

Nope

i paid like $500 for the TRX-2 sold my Pro-197 thinking it would do BETTER i was wrong in buying it think the BEST mobile scanner i had was the 2096 and Pro-96 Pocket Scanner glad i got the G5 works 100% for me.

That is the ws1095 it was whistlers base until they made ws1098 which lasted 4 months then they called it trx2. Yes its real

That's what I love about RR forums...so much real information.

Your answers so far: One poster says no and one says yes

Now that nails it down :lol:

Now that nails it down [emoji38]

Well if you think about it they are both correct. Yes it is real because it shows a previous whistler scanner. And no it is not real because it is not a picture of the planned TRX-×00 series. [emoji38]

I have a Whistler WS-1095 which I use as a 'base' station in my office. For my immediate area, I only need FM, P25 and non-trunked DMR so this radio does fine. Also I don't have simulcast P25 in my area. I used it for a while in my car as a mobile unit until I replaced it with a Uniden BCD536HP with GPS mod, + DMR & NXDN upgrades.

So, yes, the WS-1095 exists, and works fine for mobile use if you only need FM, non-simulcast P25 and DMR, and you don't need to adjust its programming as you drive around.
