Good morning I have a TRX1 whistler scanner brilliant scanner I use remote software and also use my scanner mobile when driving sound quality is great The video you did is really good and the why you explained things was excellent Well done Paul in Kent
Only bad part is here in Colorado, ALL of the law enforcement agencies have gone to encryption systems on their radios. Most of the fire/rescue, and even public schools and transportation are all encrypted now. Cheers from Colorado
Nice unit however I am still questioning why in the 800MHz band they block out cellular? I know of the old law in the USA affecting scanners however this has become moot since the original analogue AMPS systems were phased out of service years ago. ( one of the original 1000 Moto cell repair techs in the USA. ALSO Mitsubishi, NEC, Audiovox, OKI, NOKIA ) does the E version firmware add this deleted band? A little tidbit, scanners are illegal in Greece. Seems law enforcement does not want no one listening in on their idle chit chat. As I told one district supervisor, if you want privacy just add encryption to your Kenwood radios, problem solved.
Hi can we listen to the dmr frequencies privately and pick up the information at the same time in the same private frequency of this device such as the slot and the I'd number and the color code? Thank you
Hello Matt I saw you video on the TRX1 which I have a very good scanner I wanted to ask you a question about DMR . I’m based in Orpington Kent I have a roof mounted antenna and have programmed all the DMR repeaters with in 50 miles from my QTH . The only repeater I get is at Tring which is 43 miles from my QTH but I don’t get any other repeaters even my local ones at Caterham Hainault & Beckenham. Is this something you can help With look forward to hearing your feedback Paul in Kent
Hi Paul, thanks for the question and watching my video. If you’re getting the Tring DMR repeater than that shows your TRX1 is working and decoding correctly. There can only be two reasons for your issue, 1) the nearby repeaters are not being used when you’re scanning the DMR object, or the frequency is set incorrectly in the TRX. I would suggest to first check the frequencies stored in memory, make sure they match the nearby repeaters.
Hi on a direct frequency input of an airband frequency the radio will not detect AM mode if the signal is weak .The default setting looks like AUTO but I need it to be set on AM when I put in a direct frequency in , is there an easy way to select AM when putting in a direct frequency please . Many thanks for the video and information that you have posted .
Nice unit... I've always been a Uniden person when it comes to scanners... I never thought I'd see the day where my scanner needs an SD card... Lmao...
In 2017 I purchased a Whistler TRX-1 scanner for the specific purpose of monitoring the Maricopa County Sheriffs department, which is a P25 system. I paid extra to have the scanner pre-programmed by Zip Scanners. I've contacted Zip Scanners and Whistler by email multiple times and have followed their detailed instructions on how to program my TRX-1 using the EZScan software. It's now 2022 and I have yet to be able to listen to the MCSO. I've owned scanners (mostly Bearcat or Uniden) since the 80s and have always manually programmed them without any difficulty or problems. Do you or anyone you may know have any suggestions on how I can properly program my SRX-1 so I can listen to the sheriffs department? Thank you.
Hello Mr, with this frequency scanner, can we listen to all DMR frequencies that are encrypted or private at the same time and have the frequency information such as the color code and the slot and the I'd? Thank you
I have a TRX1 scanner have you used PDW software which decodes Poscag If so do you know if it’s works would you be able to do a video on this. Regards paul in Orpington
Can I ask I have a conventional scanner albrecht ae33h with a Nagoya NA-771 VHF/UHF antenna I listen to airband, now would I completly waste my money if I was to buy this I mean will it pick up more than what my conventional would please? Thanks
For VHF/UHF I use a dual band co-linear mounted on my chimney. It’s about 20 years old, can’t remember the make, but still performs well. Any of the modern day ham radio dual band co-linears will work well.
Hi. New zealand has changed emergency radios to a digital network moving away from anolouge. Just wondering if trx1-e will pick up the new network? Thanks
Are they encrypting also? If yes, you will hear nothing. UK police went to Airwave about 18 years ago and have updated the system since. I don't think anyone has gained access to the network. I worked with the system for a couple of years and it was quite complex.
@@Stoptherideiwanttogetoff if I’m not mistaken, yes. It should pick it up, but you’ll obviously just hear the static/nothing. However, I think some scanner (BCD436HP, SDS100/200, etc) all the modern day scanners can/or will automatically avoid the channel. I saw some vids where people can still pick them up, but where I’m from, there’s 100s of encrypted channels, and I’ve never picked up anything. Just non-encrypted ones. With radios, you can hear encrypted channels, although first off, you need to spend sometimes thousands of dollars, second of all, you need someone from the county or whoever programs the radios to enter the radio ID number to be able to monitor (which they will NOT do, unless you have very, very, very close connections, or you’re media).
I tried to program my trx1, but erased the content of the sd card instead, yes I know *@%$ anyways, how do I recover the content ( all the US frequency) that come from factory preinstall?
I’ve got a uniden ez133xlt, will this decode the Motorola 2 way digital radios or hytera radios on 153.3500 frequency? It sounds like a fax machine on my anolog radio I know radio being used but I need to decode the radio
Since 80's when i was a Kid , i was listening to Police Channel as they use NBFM 4 Meter Band (UK Storno Walki-Talki) , However Since 2010 our Police had Upgrade their Radios and Repeaters to Motorola P25 with Digital Encryption , However after the failure of AOR AR-DV1 Communication Receiver to decode Digital Encryption i am not Sure if TRX-1E able to decode it ?
I have one of these. It’s brilliant. Can anyone talk me through how to store and recall saved things I hear? I can do limit searches and receive lots but don’t know how to save what I hear!
Hi Mike I’m thinking of get one of these are you In the uk I had a old analog scanner and couldn’t pick up any thing just didn’t won’t to folk out £450 if I can’t hear any thing
It’s a Digital handheld scanner. Used to listen to radio frequencies. Like a normal radio, but covers lots of different frequencies a Norma radio isn’t able to.
SDR dongle is only around £30 it does the same thing . Over £400 for this scanner is ridiculous the buttons look fiddely and the speaker looks tiny. Police ,fire ect are mostly encrypted now anyway. I'll pass.
I was surprised at the price too, but they are a very popular brand and product. I think what makes it unique is the various digital modes that it covers as standard, as far as I know there are no transceivers that can cover the digital modes the TRX1 does.

But I will check again

NOTHING. If it’s encrypted, can’t hear anything.

Greeting from the US Great Video.
a question I'm trying to connect my work radio Motorola mototrbo dmr to the whistler trx-1
not sure how to do it
Whats the difference between the trx1 Vs the trx1-E
Thanks
Which is better, ws1010 or this trx-1e?
Just bought one
Where do you guy purchase from? I tried Amazon but they sell broken and refurbished stuff as new now.
Are you in UK? Try Moonraker.eu and ask to speak to Chris. Make sure you tell them I sent you :)
Can you still get it
I tried to program my trx1, but erased the content of the sd card instead, yes I know *@%$ anyways, how do I recover the content ( all the US frequency) that come from factory preinstall?
Pretty expensive option to use dsd+ not?
How do u save a freq I put in my self
Does anyone know if the charging indicator ever goes off when fully charged?
I’ve got a uniden ez133xlt, will this decode the Motorola 2 way digital radios or hytera radios on 153.3500 frequency? It sounds like a fax machine on my anolog radio I know radio being used but I need to decode the radio
No it wont
80Loke are there any radio decoders I can buy that does digital
@@mrpetehampson yes this whistler he shows here for example there are others.. But they aint cheap
Does it work

If it has encryption then most likely not. Try DSD+ via an SDR receiver first.

No not anymore

No, well, not the one I have. But I just ordered some cheap rechargeable batteries from amazon and use the inbuilt charger.
do you have a copy of the memory file please i dont have any of those with mine
Hi Ray, unfortunately I do not, but moonraker.eu do sell an SD card already populated with this same database.

As long as they are not encrypted then sure.
Just out of curiosity if it's shop watch your after listing to most have encryption
@@Adam-zn8hn Most storenet/shopwatch systems I have found appear not to be encrypted.

It’s a Digital handheld scanner. Used to listen to radio frequencies. Like a normal radio, but covers lots of different frequencies a Norma radio isn’t able to.
what is the difference between the 1 to the 1E ?!?!
is it necessary to have the 1E !!!???

YES

Can you get police and military on this
Depends what country you are in and if the signal is encrypted.
Tech Minds U.K. for example??? Thanks
Nice handset but for the price you could get a nice transceiver.
@@markplott4820 Have a look at the Hack RF One.
More than 4 times the price of a transceiver that will cover the same areas? The scanner makers are still nuts!
I was surprised at the price too, but they are a very popular brand and product. I think what makes it unique is the various digital modes that it covers as standard, as far as I know there are no transceivers that can cover the digital modes the TRX1 does.
What Transceivers are you talking about? I'm interested now
the not work TETRA
Where can i buy at asia?
Sorry I’m not sure
To bad you cant listen to p25 phase 1 and 2. Big bummer!!!!
much too expensive for what it is.
unfortunately this scanner is not able to search for the control channel p25.
