TRX-1/TRX-2 Discriminator Output

[RadioDitch]

I'm very seriously considering abandoning my Uniden loyalty for a Whistler TRX-2. There's one hinging question. The IF/Discriminator Output Mode. Does this supply actual, true discriminator audio same as a tap would?

Have you tried looking at the owners manual on Whistlers website? Page 49 of the TRX 2 manual.

I have, and I'm aware of what it says. However, a manual is not the same as the experience of an owner. I'm slightly skeptical about words vs experience.

Is anyone using their TRX-1 to provide audio to DSD+, for example?

I'm also interested in the answer to that question. I'm not sure I can justify spending that much money on another radio unless it has some clear advantages over the 436HP in some areas.

My pro 668 discriminator if turned on it works just like a tapped scanner i use it often with dsd to hear dmr traffic. So the trx should be the same...

Hi RadioDitch -
Yes, the IF/Discriminator Output will supply true audio just as a tap does.

Have you tried a Pro-106 to supply your discriminator out, or pro-197, or pro-651/652

If it matters to anyone I can report that the old standby "TP-4" discriminator tap point is still alive and well on the TRX-1 and TRX-2.

Of course you probably wouldn't need it but it is there for those who still want to modify their radios and void their warranties.
