TRX-2: TRX-2 No Audio

[Project25_MASTR]

Long story short, bought a TRX-2 and within 36 hours of me acquiring possession of the unit, it will no longer reproduce audio. Worked as expected (I live in the middle of a LSM system). No audio for analog, digital or trunking. It’ll store audio files on the SD card without issue.

Put your ear up to the speaker and you hear noises (guesstimating 0 dBm or less). Seems like the audio amp is blown on the unit. I believe there may have been some water damage due to the actions of the carrier.

I’ve tried contacting Whistler to get their opinion and the next day, today, I missed a call from John as unfortunately he called my office number and not the cell number I provided because I’m rarely in the office.

Send to whistler or return to distributor (they are in agreement that the package could’ve been damaged in shipping)?

Had the same thing happen to me after trying to figure out shutting off the key beeps. Hit the wrong thing somewhere in the menu.

Fixed it by using the factory default menu choice. Might try it.

Tried several times as well as reformatting the memory card, and upgrading the firmware.

Did you try with an external speaker and also the earphone jack?
If the amplifier is blown you should get audio from the earphone jack.

My TRX-2 had a bad rear spkr jack the killed all sound Whistler fixed it had the scanner back in a week. The problem I plugged in a Ext SPKR and the jack prong shorted.

On my WS1095 I always have a external speaker connected to it, I noticed sometimes when I disconnect the external speaker I have no sound out of radio. I have to push in and pull out the plug several times in order to get the speaker on the radio to start working. May want to give it a try and see if something is stuck inside the plug.

Haven’t located headphones for he headphone jack. External speaker behaves identically to the internal speaker…line level at best (I don’t have an 1/8th inch plug broken out so I can check actual voltage).

Why deal with a repair hassle (or maybe getting a refurb - someone else's problem) when I'd get a NEW one from the seller.
