Hello,

I know that it's possible but in reality how frequently do we use a different MDC systems for RX/TX?
Thanks.

What radio are using that supports a different MDC system for TX and RX. Every radio I've encountered doesn't do that.

CDM/HT Series
Jedi Series
Radius Series

Maybe the super-save-the-world XTS/XTL type can do this? I don't know. Either way, I say no logical purpose to doing this even if they could.

HT1250 and HT 1550 can do this....

The Professional Series radios can certainly support the feature.

Given that you are only allowed 4 MDC systems, the ability to mix and match does come in handy. Some things that I have used it for:
-Selecting between long and short sidetone on a per channel basis
-Selecting between pre and post ID
-Selecting the alias list the will be used when decoding IDs
-Changing the way the radio responds to Call Alerts / Select Calls / Radio Checks.

I can really add a lot of versatility to what you can make those four systems do.

Crap. Your right. I've been at work for 16 hours now, my brain is fried. I have a bunch of those in service and have programmed them myself, like I didn't know that.

Well, either way I have yet to find a use for two different MDC systems for TX & RX.

Right, I do the same thing, but thats not haveing MDC System 1 for RX and MDC system 2 for TX. You just make system 1 be PRE-ID and system 2 be POST ID.

My MTS2000 can do that as well. You can even mix Pre/Post MDC + GE
