<body><div>Guys and girls,</div><div><br /></div><div>Deliberating with myself here...so time to offer to the group.</div><div><br /></div><div>Mid last year I had the chance to secure a Whistler TRX-1 handheld thinking I would cart it everywhere</div><div>and listen to all those channels that interested me from yesteryear...</div><div><br /></div><div>I configured for the Malls (for the most DRM 2 slot repeaters) the usual analogue fire and ambos and my local airfield etc..</div><div>Even the HICKS site repeater I have close to me... BUT it never leaves my desk to be honest.</div><div><br /></div><div>With the interest shown on our group to those wanting to get stuck into this side of scanning...</div><div><br /></div><div>NOPE it won't decode P25 encryption and knows to mute the noise however as I found out recently there are trials (or</div><div>now permanent) with Fire Police working the UHF P25 repeaters in Auckland and it was neat to have them pop out if the silence.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway best price I could find at the time was 500 US dollars... I hunted at the time too!</div><div>So the only thing I can't offer is the packaging.. As new scanner with manuals with original antenna!</div><div>All upgrades done as of this week.. They have addressed lots of issues with drivers etc so it programs perfectly</div><div>from my desk top...</div><div><br /></div><div>Any 5 volt USB device will charge it. It even charges from the USB port of the computer providing the port can offer up</div><div>the current to trigger a charge. The US power pack didn't make it home either...but it gets charged off the many Apple phone</div><div>chargers left lying around by the kids...</div><div><br /></div><div>These new scanners are not for the faint hearted. There are days when I wish I could just put a channel number into the keypad and</div><div>hit enter.. But object based scanning with Groups, Scanlists etc have become the way moving forward once you move away from analogue.</div><div>Once again a buzz when you master it and the channels liven up. My first trip to our local Westfield made me very smug to know I could</div><div>listen in again to their catering, cleaning and security channels..</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The US and Canadians are real spoilt for choice where you key in a zip code and the radio reference site loads all your local</div><div>channels you decide your listening pleasure and your off! Well until their local site changes its control channel then they grizzle. </div><div>No one appears to want to learn about adding the extra channel from first principles over there.. </div><div><br /></div><div>Little bit more attention to detail is required here...</div><div><br /></div><div>I will package safely and ship anywhere in the country as required. PM me for pics or more information on programming etc.</div><div>Welcome to have copy of my local programming for reference.</div><div><br /></div><div>What offers have I to get someone started in this new era of scanning... </div><div><br /></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br /></div><div>Shane Vickers.</div><div id="x5d4d113cd7ed43f" class="plain"><blockquote cite="A9D98146-EC0B-4EF3-A8FD-39CDC13FA96F@andygardner.com" type="cite" class="cite2"><tt style="word-wrap:break-word">
