I guess I should just keep my bcd436 with me. Save my money for ham gear.

If only Uniden would come out with a remote head.........

    Kenny,I have a GRE PSR800 what thinks its a Whistler 1098. deciphers DMR as well as all phases of p25.  Certainly not worth converting it back and sending to Whistler to pay to convert it again.
    I don't know if you can find one at a reasonable price, but I use mine as much as the 436, side by side the sound is better on the 436 but the PSR800 is more sensitive. Joel R Kahn

    I own a trx-1.  It is great but suffers the same issues that most scanners have on simulcast systems. There is a bit of a learning curve to programming, even with the software.  Simple setup is easy, but leaves you scanning a lot of frequencies and talk groups that aren't used.  
    
    The bottom line is, I would buy another.

    Anyone own a 1098 or trx2?  It's been a while since I've had a mobile in the car. I sold my bct15x last year. Everything is p25 phase 1,2 or hybrid now.  
    It would be a breaking away from the gre and uniden I'm familiar with.
