XTS3000 Astro Problem???????

[FMROB]

Okay, Here is the scenario.

One xts3K UHF Model III radio that does not have IMBE as an option, Falsh Code says IMBE ready.

One xts3K model I VHF that has an IMBE flash code.

Swapped command boards and the the appropriate computer magic also swapped the s records

BUT, and there is always a but

The UHF radio still doesn't want to talk astro. It sends the ID but will not encode/decode any astro signal..

Any help... And of course, this is all hypothetical. Rob

In the XTS3000 the Host firmware resides in the controller board while the DSP firmware resides in the VOCON board.

You need to swap the VOCON's because it is the DSP firmware that enables IMBE capability.

When you read the radio with the RSS, or push side button #3 five times to get the readout of Host & DSP versions, you will immediately be able to see which radio has the analog only DSP.

XMO,

Stupid question.

Are there only 2 boards in the XTS?? The RF board that lives at the top with the antenna connection, and the lower board where the secure module plus into..


There is also a smaller board burried below where the secure board cradles, Is that the vocon board??

Thanks, Rob

OK,
I got it.... Thanks XMO.

I see that the 3500 are different than the 3000's


Thanks, Rob
