    I came in late to the show so I couldn't comment live, but I was surprised to find out that my TRX-1 couldn't do NXDN trunking. I guess nobody told the radio either since it has been working my local NXDN trunked system without a problem for several years now. 😂

I also attend Indy 500 every year and would like to hear the crews and drivers. That's basically all I want. Handheld. Bluetooth for headphones so not everyone has to hear it. I just don't understand digital vs analog...phase 1 phase 2...trunking...HELP!!!

  • @richarddavidson1171

    Can you answer this question in a future show? When sending a update on Sentinel software back to the SDS 200 scanner, do you check one box to erase the existing Favorite Lists and the box to transfer updated Lists from the software or just the one box for transfer from software. When I check only the transfer box, I get more questions which I don't understand. If I check both boxes, I erase the settings I have put into the scanner directly from the scanner controls.

    • @TheScannerGuys

    Question: NC is on a Viper cell phone trunking set up. In different zones... ( Kenwood TK 5410 portable is a radio compatible with the new phase)...
    Will this radio pick up sheriff & city police or do I have to have the radio submitted to their network using a key code????
    Just asking because they're running off cell phone frequency and all scanners are set up not to pick them up....
    But : how do I get the same radio they use and listen in on a transceiver?????
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Great show Jonathan thank you so much for doing the show. I am sticking with Whistler and hoping they come up with some new upgrades and products soon sooner rather than later, and I would hope that Uniden and Whistler would come up with a radio that would have voice modulation on it and voice prompts for visually impaired users as they do on baofang and expensive radios. I wonder if you can do that with a inexpensive handheld HTY not with a expensive mobile or portable, handheld scanner inquiring minds want to know. As for the prices, I wonder if this trend to more and more encryption continues with uniden and Whistler lower their prices because why buy a expensive scanner that does trunking and you can’t pick up anything because of his foolish encryption anyway, thanks again Jonathan for doing this show.

      The Big-E has really limited my scanner listening. I've loved listening to law enforcement since I was a kid. Unfortunately, there's not much for me to listen to in my area. I have to admit though the new scanners have some really cool features. However, I can't justify spending so much money on a new scanner that doesn't let me listen to what I want to hear. 😞

      Our service in the U.K. is encrypted so no device will work. There is a back door through their encryption but only the service provider will know how to use it in case of system failure or unlikely hack. I think it was in 1996 that all emergency services, military and government entities that communicate via radio. Our system is like a hybrid between a mobile phone and a radio, with an encryption key. No more public spying on Big Brother anymore. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

That's why I thought DMR could go down that range. Might need eton for that then? Anyway can still get lots of use with the sds 100 otherwise so no loss it seemd.

      The essence of scanning. Ease dropping on old timers doing mundane things. Haha.
      If you want police action I suggest you just put a “Police scanner” app on your cell phone.
      They’re FREE and they work great. You got the whole America’s police in your hands.

    Do not buy a uniden scanner if you enjoy good sound quality, clarity and volume. Using external speaker or amplification won't help. external speakers Make no difference when your processing equipment is a $1 Purchase by uniden.
    One of the main compliments Motorola gets on there 2 way portable handheld radios. They're loud, clear, easy to understand.
    The loud is necessary but not the most important of those. You're in a den cheaper scanners, at least, have none of these. And would you want to buy one? That's built a little better from the same company. When they don't have a clear warning that the cheaper ones are crap? thank you guys
