XTS5000 will only program 64 ASTRO25 control channels!?

Post by DES-AJ »

Hi guys, I have a firmware 9 FPP XTS5000 and the radio will only program up to 64 control channels when programming an ASTRO25 system, the system I'm programming uses 93+ control channels and an XTL5000 on firmware 14 successfully has these many control channels programmed.

Is the limitation on my XTS5000 due to firmware level? Anyone else experienced this? Do I need to bump it to firmware 14 and for go the firmware 9 FPP functionality to get it to accept more control channels?

Cheers,
Ash

Anybody? I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and flash it to firmware 14, lose the FPP and see if ASTRO25 trunking works properly with more then 64 control channels.

And now I just read that even doing that is a problem! lol might be time to sell the FPP XTS5000 and buy a non FPP one. :lol:

Is this by chance an OBT system?
