Delayed scan alert tone on XTL5k

Post by Pj »

Anyone notice a delayed "beep" on a priority scan with their XTL5k? Even with the radio sitting on that channel, there is a tad delay.

Host 11.0, CPS 12, O5 head, conventional channel.

As big of a garbage release firmware R11.00.00 was, I wouldn't doubt it if the problem you are seeing can be added to the list of already known bugs with that version... Bump it to R12, and see if the problem goes away..

If your radio has old firmware, programming it with the latest CPS will not add any new features unless you have the latest firmware to match..

CPS = Customer Programming Software, Not CPS Software.
