+Zip Scanners ...Actually, Whistler has only two people for Tech support, Brian & John, and neither of them can really be considered a Tech Support. They are just salesmen. Amanda answers the phone. Whistler has yet to design and patent one single scanner. They've made slight changes on the GRE Designed & Built TRX-1. Basically, they've crippled some features to make the other models. Eventually (hopefully) they will hire Designers, or when the few basic designs that they currently have, will age out, making it the end of Whistler. (They don't make any of their other products, they just put their name on them!) But then you guys at Zip, already know this, right? Thanks for the videos!

This is an opinion video as it's subjective. We like Whistler more than Uniden. Some folks don't agree - as it's our opinion - this is expected. We find the folks at Whistler very helpful. Regardless of their job title or background, it's nice to be able to talk to anyone with any knowledge who cares and can address issues in real time. We appreciate this, as do our customers. We're not debating the business model or origin story of Whistler. As we only sell police scanners, we do not care about their other verticals. Our goal is to help folks find the best police scanner and have them buy from us. Our opinion is that the best police scanner is the Whistler TRX-1.

The BCDx36HPs also time stamp the recordings. For example, the recording named 2018-04-26_09-30-02.wav was recorded at 9:30:02 AM on 4/26/2018. Further, the channel information is encoded into the recording, so you can see the system, department, channel, CTCSS/DCS, TGID, and more during playback on the scanner or when using software like Media Monkey on your PC.

I noticed you only briefly mentioned the BCD325P2. Truthfully I really like that scanner. I am a Ham. I also did some radio programming at my job. I never found it hard at all to set up the 325P2 the way I want it set up. In fact I prefer to set a radio up the way I like it and I like to listen to the specific services I wish to hear. Although I know you can custom set up the the TRX 1 ( I customized one for work) and the 436 to your custom needs, i think that the zip code/SD database feature is really not necessary. Even with the DMR update, which I did to the 325p2, the radio was still 100 dollars cheaper than either the 436 and TRX2. But I wouldnt sell the BCD325p2 short.

We discuss the BCD325P2 more in our new 2019 BEST POLICE SCANNER VIDEO: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erliZ5uWz8yWmmw.html As you're a ham I'm sure the BCD325P2 meets your needs as you have deep knowledge.

You guys make a very compelling case for the Whistler. A couple of things you didn’t discuss though that would be nice to cover: 1) are the programming interfaces/systems different in terms of logic and design? I’ve been helping a friend with his TRX-1 and the system was clearly designed by an engineer of some kind without input from normal people. 2) the same question for manuals. Because of the way the TRX-1’s system is organized, the quality of its manual is critical - and I find it terribly lacking. Is the Uniden’s any better? 3) You showed that the Uniden has a 3x way knob on top but left out something critical on the whistler - their decision to make the volume a feature only accessible through the arrow keypad, and only under a specific mode... is unbelievable. 4) is the uniden any easier to program on the keypad than the whistler? In part because of the overall system architecture and organization, the whistler is extremely arduous to program on the pad. The software is better, but it’s documentation is lousy too. Based on the things you’ve pointed out, I WILL probably buy the whistler when the time comes. But it’s not at all perfect, nor really up to the design standards of other modern electronics. People should know that before spending the money. It’s a little surprising that another company doesn’t come and eat both of their lunches...

Speaking as soneone that has always backed law enforcement and have family in law enforcement, Doesn't really matter, until someone challenges the right to receive the encrypted Codecs for AES, etc., for the most part I will never get involved with helping local police, too much at risk to get involved, with many who don't trust the law abiding. I can say, since they took my right to know what goes on in my neighborhood away, by making my scanner just another useless receiver from the past by going encrypted. The local media has law enforcement radios but literally only report 1/50 th of the crime in my city that I used to be able to steer clear of and let friends and neighbors steer clear of. Unfortunately being a "good samariton" is different now, from a tactical day to day situation, in the major metropolitan city, it's just hard enough to keep myself and family protected from the flood of dirt bag criminals, this new attitude to hide communications from the law abiding has made getting involved in any way much less likely, it's that old adage, trust is a two way street. I will however be involved more with local, state and federal emergency management.

@UnidenUpman6 жыл бұрын
The #1 way I recommend any scanner user to get support is to post their question in the Uniden forums at RadioReference.com. There are many knowledgeable users, there, who will help. I also post answers and information there quite frequently (approaching 12K posts). While our support guys are knowledgeable, they are limited by geography...and many scanner issues, as you know, are specific to a particular locale. At RadioReference, you have a very good chance at getting a reply from someone who is on the same system you are having trouble with. Plus, there is no phone queue. :) Of course, if there is a repair issue, sending the customer to Uniden Support is absolutely the way to go (but I answered 2 repair related questions this morning on RadioReference). Questions that our support guys can't answer generally make it to me for reply...but very often I've already answered the question on RadioReference (sometimes the person asking didn't like the answer I gave there and called in "shopping" for a better answer...only to get the same answer from me via customer support with a substantial delay).

This is the only database for Norway I'm aware of and slim pickings on here: www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?stid=222 We've sold there before but I'm not sure what they used for. Most of Europe is encrypted but I'm not sure how to find info to give you a definitive answer on what will work. If you do buy a scanner and need a digital this is the one I recommend: www.zipscanners.com/trx-1-police-scanner.html Wish I had more info. Reach out at zip@zipscanners.com if we can help. Have a good one.

For what you can use that scanner I don't understand
@Zipscanners16 жыл бұрын
Hi Vladimir, Scanners can pick up 4 different 'formats': Digital Phase 2: monitors Digital Phase 2, Digital Phase 1, Trunked, Analog. Digital Phase 1: monitors only Digital Phase 1, Trunked, Analog. Trunked: monitors only Digital Phase 1, Trunked, Analog. Analog: monitors only Analog. All communication in the U.S. is going to digital phase 2 if it has not already done so in your area. This is why we HIGHLY recommend buying a digital phase 2 scanner as all other scanners are being liquidated. Also why all non digital phase 2 scanners cost less. Our recommendation always depends on the format of frequencies in your area. Let me check your area. What's your zip code & State? I’ll look up what format is required in your area.

Varies wildly depending on where you live. Most places only use encryption tactical use.

Zip Scanners unfortunately police trunk systems around my area in Louisiana are all switching to digital encryption. Since the local Motorola dealer in the area is offering encryption with no extra cost to agencies

We're sorry to hear that. Is it DMR, EDACS, or NXDN? There are scanners that can scan those types of encryption.

Ah gotcha. Windows 7 came out in 2009 so I'm not sure it's a bug more they don't support 9 year old software. This has come up a few times and the solution is to have us program, borrow another computer or buy a newer computer.

Both of these scanners are absolute shit on P25 Simulcast. The only thing that works crystal clear for now is a Unication G4 or G5. (Actual popo radio works too but those are $$$$$) P25 performance is a deal breaker for me.
@Zipscanners16 жыл бұрын
The ONLY option for Simulcast right now is the Unication G4/G5 which you can buy here: www.zipscanners.com/unication-pager-g4-g5.html Simulcast only affects a few places in US so we do more of a broad overview on this. Here is an article about simulcast if you're interested: www.zipscanners.com/resources/simulcast-distortion-police-scanners/
