MCS2000 decoding MDC IDs

Post by Terriers618 »

I cannot seem to understand how to get my MCS2000 to decode IDs in the MDC system

I have the personalities set to use the MDC system and I have even added 2 aliases to the MDC call list.

I cannot get ANY ids to show. The radio receives MDC call pages from my EX600 however I cannot get it to decode IDs

any ideas???

also what is the latest CPS version?

Okay...

I tried to post a reply not sure if it worked?

I got it to display IDs and it displays my aliases in the MDC call list however this list only supports 19 entries?????

Also signal strength, can that icon be used for conventional personality RX or is it only used for the phone feature? how to activate?

Thanks

Signal strength only works on trunking systems.

Yep, that's the max.
