APX Mobile: Last channel selected per zone

Post by escomm »

Has anyone actually got it to work? Or is it like the XTL where the checkbox is there and you can enable it, but it doesn't actually work??

What firmware?? Escomm is asking about this on my behalf.

This problem exists with Astro Spectra, Astro Spectra+ and XTL5000 mobiles.

Except for CDM's I haven't seen this feature work since the analog Spectra.
I have a Halcyon TIMS. It has an audio spectrum analyzer.
I have an IFR 1200. It has an audio distortion analyzer.
I can test and alter the audio response and distortion of my analog radio system to make it sound better.
I have a pair of socks.
Why would I want to put them in my mouth just so I could sound like I'm using a DMR radio?

I have a number of dashmount XTL5000 w/O5 CHs here ranging between R12 - R14 firmware and this feature works well on all, I've also tried an XTL5000 w/O3 HHCH (can't remember which f/w but I'd guess it would be R16 as it's a fairly new radio) which also works 100%

Swapped the heads today, seems to work ok. APX7500 FW9, O3 head.

Post the settings you are using and I'll try to duplicate it on mine when I fly back into town.

Thanks, Y'all for responding. Yeah, the RSS shows the f/w as v 5.0. That's prolly it. It's in LA and I'm in San Jose. I'll play with it when I get back.
