Doesn't appear to be any damage to the board itself, just the USB port. Contacted Whistler and long story short, they can't (or won't) repair it and suggested I trade it in for a TRX-1. Anyone know of somewhere to send it for repair? Possibly swap to USB-C? View article »

I did use a cat 6 rj45 1.5 foot extender on both radios to extend the length of the speaker mic wire(both were to short... Read more View article »

I have this issue regardless of which of my G5s I use or which external antenna I hook up. I’ve checked and cleaned the contacts and that didn’t help. I feel like at this point it must be the base itself. I’ve read a few other threads on here but never really saw the real answer. Thanks for the advice. View article »

I have good groups around here, but no call for that, just said Hello comptech waving at ya'll. I do believe all these welfare recipients on the radio all day screaming and cussing should go get a job. And yes most of them brag about it with their high powered radios. View article »

I am in the area in Western RI every morning for a little while and I want to see if I can hear any activity. I am interested only in the P25 system since I am using a Unication for RISCON as well. The software for Unications has a Radio Reference button to import so I am assuming THIS: Connecticut Land Mobile Radio Network (CLMRN) Site: Troop D Simulcast is what I want to import. I have 1 extra knob position on... Read more View article »
