XTS3000 spontaneous reboots and locks on mandatory password

Post by MotoFAN »

Hi all!

I find out that my XTS3000 spontaneous reboots and locks on mandatory password after 5-10 minutes of operation (mandatory password is enabled in CPS). Radio normally works in Astro25 system scan about 5-7 (10 max.) minutes, but after that top LED lights on, radio beeps once and locks! Yes. Just like at power on!

I tried about 10 times and all attempts are the same. Radio stays untouched at the table all the time. I tried to change battery, but no luck (both batteries recently charged).

Radio has latest available firmware host and DSP (updated by using 3X_XTS3000Digital_CVN6236T file).

Radio does not support Astro25 trunking systems, therefore Astro25 trunking system programmed as conventional (see this topic http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.p ... 62#p367023). As result, radio does not affiliates on trunking controller and can’t be killed.

Scan in truly conventional mode (analog, P25 conventional or mixed mode) or in SmartZone mode works normally, i.e. no spontaneous locks.

Any ideas what it this?

- Firmware bug?
- Out of memory/out of CPU resources consequence (see this topic http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=36815)?

How to fix it?

Problem have been solved by removing Astro trunking control channel from scanlist.

I.e. CC data 'overloads' and reboots radio. I hopes that it's happens due the slow processor used in XTS3000.

Yup..does that with my astro spectra with a secure module as well (monitoring an Astro25 system). I also get some secure errors but haven't sat down to troubleshoot if its just the data stream or the module has a real problem.

Poor mans way to monitor a system, but it works 95% of the time

Why not 100% of the time?
