Maxtrac 300 MDC Decode

I have a VHF Maxtrac 300 16 pin that i am trying to get to decode and display an ID Number. I understand that you need to affiliate a 2 digit "name" with the MDC-1200 ID number under MDC call list. I set the radio up to decode ID but this does not work and i cannot find the MDC call list in my RSS. Anyone know how to do this? Any help is appreciated.

Have you made MDC1200 a signalling system assinged to your individual conventional channels?

Two things I know for sure, you have to have "decode ID" display enabled, and you probably should have the radio set as a base station.
Otherwise, configure MDC1200 as a signalling system
Set MDC1200 as the TX and RX signalling system on the conventional channels
Setup an MDC1200 call list, on the GM300, I think decode display and all that is set there
program it in, it should work fine.
