The rotary knob on my XTS is currently programed to switch Zone's as I have more than 16 channels in several zones. Can the top rotary switch be modified not to stop at ch16 - too keep turning all the way around and around? I did a mod on an MT1000 many, many years ago that allowed the rotary knob t...

I agree with Spectragod, I found it to be a pain in the a$$ also. Especially being my first time playing around with it... Otaku, How is the FPP restricted? Is it restricted via the FPP checkbox in the zone/channel assignment only or somewhere else? Just out of curiosity, is FPP restricted to handhe...

Ok, I will look into that. Thank you for the guidance...

So no matter what, I should have it upgraded?

I have no idea... It shows "N/A"

I've looked all around within the CPS and can't figure out a way to change FPP settings other then: 1) Radio Configuration -> Radio Wide -> Zone Protection -> "Zone Cloning Enable" 2) Zone Channel Assignment -> FPP/Protection -> "FPP Enable" and "Protected Zone" - When ...

I just got a XST5000 III with front panel programing and hole bunch of other crap in the feature set that I'll never use. I'm trying to modify/create a codeplug via CPS. This is my first time playing around with a FPP enabled radio. I have around 100 or so channels spreed over 9 zones with some of t...

Yup found the issue. Thanks tuckerm you steered me in the right direction... Here's how I corrected it: (1) With CPS running and no codeplug loaded, open the help file. (2) Select "Options" -> "Internet Options" -> "Programs" -> "Default Web Browser" and ensur...

I'm using ASTRO25 Mobile CPS R20.01.01 on a Windows 7 Pro (x86) Desktop. I have the latest version of FLASH installed.

(1) If I program a conventional scan list to "Operator Select" and leave "Zone" and "Channel" lists set to "Unassigned" will that scan list be available "Raido Wide" to all zones and all channels? So this methodology would allow me to assign an opera...

I recently received a 110 watt 1000 channel XTL5000. I'm in the process of installing it. Can I program the radio to use the DTMF Mic in a port on the back of the 05 (older grey) control head in place of the front panel port?

Thanks for the great detailed response Jim. Sounds like your currently using your radio in the manor I'm looking to do. I think your right, I may have to break the zones down into regions. I didn't realize the number of zones would be limited. Thanks for the heads up as I will plan ahead with organi...

Scanning is not too important. The total number of modes and zones is... I want to put every Florida repeater in the code plug separated by county.

I've out grown my current ASTRO Spectra's capabilities of 255 modes. So, I've decided to upgrade and purchase an newer used radio. I'm debating between the XTL2500 and the XTL5000.

Talked with Motorola today and thought I would share with the board. The VML750 system is not a proprietary cellular modem. There sales are not restricted to public safety only.

Well, that sucks... So, if I understand you correctly, the lowest I could go is 50 watts?

Ok everyone. I’m asking this question because I’m getting conflicting answers locally on this topic and want some additional input.
