Forgive me if this is found elsewhere, but I can't seem to setup my new xts2500 to toggle high/low power in either a menu or button setting. On the menu end of things, it's not an available option like I am used to in the 3k and 5k.
cps version 9
host 9.00.03a
dsp 9.00.02
120001-000100-4

Thanks in advance.

The 2500 does not support it that way, only through cps.

Re: xts2500 low power question
Best way around that limitation that I've found is:
Program the next zone over with all channels in the identical order, same settings, etc, but with low power instead of high. Name that zone LP or whatever you'd like. I say program them in the same order, that way when you want low power on a channel, you just switch zones and land on the right channel. Also, programming low power on a different zone versus as the next channel over in the high power zone because this will keep you from accidentally being on the low power setting.
Makes it a three keypress combination instead of one button, but hey, it works.

Vote for Pedro.

thanks for the replies - the zone idea sounds like a good work around.
