Seems like the Cencom fire frequencies have become so faint they won't even break squelch. Cencom police work fine, and other radios don't have a problem. Anyone have an idea why? I'm currently trying different antennas, RTFM, etc. |

Sounds like an issue on their end if the rest of the stuff is fine. |

If a guy were about to buy a receiver like this one, would you buy the TRX or a different make / model? Asking for a dude |

I guess I forgot they were renamed a couple of years ago, thanks. The dispatchers still refer to cencom constantly, tho. I posted here because I noticed the posts were more recent and I was hoping for a reasonably rapid reply--which I did get, thanks. As for the TRX-1, I bought it because it seemed to have a more sensitive receiver than the 436. I run it 12 hours a day on a USB charger, batteries removed. Works fine. I think the initial programming is excruciatingly difficult, but once it's done, it's done. I am starting to think my reception problem is a matter of antenna orientation, as chpalmer mentioned, Fire1 is simplex. |

Asking for a dude That would depend on what the person is trying to monitor/listen. The TRX-1 will receive DMR,P25 (trunked and non trucked), NXDN and IDAS if I read the specifications correctly. They won't, however, receive DSTAR, or Fusion. So it would depend on the application the person getting the receiver is wanting to monitor. I know ICOM receivers will be able to hear DSTAR but, not Fusion. Not sure about P25, NXDN or IDAS. I don't think they can listen to DMR or Trunked radio systems digital or analog, assuming I am reading the product brochure right. Good Luck |
