All scanners except the Uniden SDS100 and SDS200 frequently have problems with simulcast systems. The Unication G4 and G5 pagers also are excellent with simulcast. If the file I modified did not work, it is definitely a simulcast issue. Sorry it didn't work out better for you.
Thanks for trying. I do not believe it is a simulcast issue. With the Ohio MARCs system, it has simulcast issues but you get audio sometimes and other times it will come in clear. With the NKY system - nothing at all. I contacted Whistler and someone responded. They are going to take a look at it. Frankly, I believe it is probably a firmware issue.

I believe they do not have the knowledge in house and have to hire an outside source to do firmware coding. They probably stack the issues they have and when the stack are high enough they contact that third party coder. Maybe it hasn't been enough issues yet to do that.

Hi @Whistler_Support ,
My TRX-1 stuck at whistler logo when powering on.
I can up/downgrade firmware without problem.
When the radio pluged in to USB, I can read/write the microsd.
I have tried several sd card but still stuck.
Is there anyway to repair it myself? I can do solder/desoldering.
I'm outside US, so I think send to whistler for repair is not possible for me.

Please load your configuration to EZ Scan, then archive your configuration using EZ Scan, then reformat your SD card
After formatting, use EZ Scan tool to Prepare Scanner Memory card for use
Restore your Archive to EZ Scan then copy your configuration to the Scanner Memory card.

If this does not correct your issue, you may need to replace your SD card.
We recommend SanDisk.
Repeat the steps above with the new Micro SD card

I have done this, but still stuck on whitler logo.
And sometimes after waited long time maybe 30 minutes,
it was running but when there was a signal, it show error "DSP not ready! Power-cycle the radio".
What caused the error ?

I still feel the issue is a corrupt Micro SD card
Have you replaced your Micro SD card with a 4GB or 8GB Sandisk brand card?

Yes I have tried sandisk brand and still stuck on whistler logo.
The SD card also work in another whistler scanner.



:) Have you inspected the microSD card socket in the radio? Might be dirt or debris on one or more contacts? I have found Whistler Support advice on many prior issues very sound and on the mark. Give it a check with a good magnifying glass, lamp, and if contaminated use cleaner of a type for electronics able to be used in the tight space. :)

If a different Sandisk Micro SD card has the same results and if you do not find contaminates in the SD card socket, it would seem your unit will need to be returned for repair. I realize you are outside of the USA however postal service (generally reliable but very slow) is your least costly option for shipping.

I agree sounds like a corrupt or not compatible micro sd card.....If the PROGRAMMED card works good in another trx-1...does that other trx-1 card work good in your scanner?
If not try reinstalling the cpu firmware via the standalone installer on whistlers website.

Whistler Support--Can you advise when the TRX-1 will be back in stock--or even a "guesstimate"?
Please advise and thanks!

We are receiving products regularly and have increased production however current demand continues to exceed production capacity causing several items to be in back order status. They are shipped continually within days of being received. We are doing our best to shrink the back orders and hold inventory.

Thanks for the reply. As I posted in another thread, I decided today to order the refurbished TRX-1 from Whistler. Brian in customer service, who has been very helpful, said they were "like new" and were not "scratch and dent".
