UBCD3600XLT vs trx1 ?

Post by nordhavn »

I've got £500 + to spend on a new toy. I like the trx1 (on paper anyway) also like the ubcd3600xlt . As most transmissions here have gone digital. Another one I like the sound of is the 1098 from what I gather can be upgraded to receive mototrbo Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Cheers

I own both scanners and belong to both groups, have a look and see what members say...

The Whistler WS1088, 1098, TRX1, TRX2 and UBCD3600XLT can all do DMR/Mototrbo..
The TRX1 and TRX2 can also do NXDN/Nextedge (not that there is a lot of it in the UK)..
The 3600 looks better..
the TRX1 works better..

Or for anyone on a budget wanting to get into DMR RX, an eight quid RTL stick and a seventy quid Baofeng DM-5R+ will get you started.

I'm not too clued up with digital so I'm not too sure which to go for .... watched a few review video's Pro's and cons for both.
