Putting it in your vehicle?

This is the TRX-2's party trick. The detachable front panel connects to the radio body using the supplied cable, allowing a more flexible installation than a conventional one-piece scanner.

The included brackets give you options for placing the radio body and front controls. In cars with very little dashboard room, that can be a big advantage.

Important: The extension cable looks like a network cable, but it's a control-head connection, not Ethernet access to the internet.

Creating a home listening station?

The TRX-2 comes with AC power equipment, so it can stay plugged in and ready. The supplied antenna is a good place to start with nearby signals.

If you're struggling with indoor reception or trying to hear more distant agencies, a properly selected external antenna may help. See our ProComm Home Antenna or choose a compatible antenna above.

Want clearer audio in a noisy vehicle?

A compatible external speaker may be useful. Shop scanner speakers to see your options.

Try EZ Scan before you buy

Whistler's free Windows EZ Scan software lets you explore Scanlists, radio-system setup, database updates and configuration before you decide whether to program the TRX-2 yourself.

Download Whistler EZ Scan. If you'd rather not do the setup, our technicians can configure the scanner for your area.
