I have an XTS5000 VHF Model III that the DTMF does not work, However it works when in Phone Mode, but the "Hot Keypad" feature does not work, Any suggestions.

makes me wonder if its a M2 in a M3 case - that would do it.

Whats the model number of the radio?

DTMF generate came to life after 4 or 5 somthing HOST and DSP, i dont recall.

If its ancient f/w, thats probably the cause.

hightower makes a good point too, make sure there's a M3 flex behind the cover

The radio has the flex for a Keypad and it is a full model III. I can enter channel numbers for Direct Access as well as program phone numbers MDC, etc, just not DTMF, Host and DSP firmware are version 4.00.01. Radio SN is 320C****** Radio is H18KEH9PW7AN, Flashport is 1400010000003. I have 46 of the same batch of radios, all were purchase at government auction. I have programmed 3 of them all with the same result.

Time for host/dsp upgrades.

yeah, 4.0 isn't going to give you dtmf generate, it didnt come until later.

I had a 4.8 radio, they shipped mid 04, they didnt have it either, had to upgrade to get dtmf.

There have been a host of other things improved, I am sure the $ you saved getting them at auction can easily justify the $80 f/w bump for each radio.
