XTS 5000 Auto Affiliation
Anybody know how it works and what systems it works on, digital or analog? Can auto affiliation be turn off using the cps? I heard the xts3000 doesn't use auto affiliation.

Buy a scanner instead of the 5000 and the money you save can be used for....Well I'll keep it clean here folks.. 
until someday a Zen God will fully hack a 5000....

Come on guys; give him a break. His screen name is brianohsocool, not brianohsosmart.
Like everyone's said: Buy a digital trunking scanner. I know that the audio sucks, the features suck, and no one on Earth with a room temperature IQ will think that you're an undercover cop; but, look on the bright side: You can use your tax refund to earn your GED; and possibly get specialized tutoring in spelling and grammar. Or; did you lose a bet with God?
Apologies in advance.

Oh come on guys, lets all play nice now
I agree, buy a scanner But why? You will very soon realize that using a 3k/5K is very limited as a scanner. No more than 16 talkgroups to scan per zone - period. That's perfectly fine for a normal user of the TRS system, but for casual listening to the TRS system, these astro radios are just too limited. There is nothing "additional" a 5K will do vs. a good digital scanner won't do.
Not limited to 800Mhz, is VHF and UHF /\/\otorla radios being used as "scanners". Your still limited to one band and 16 channels/scan. If you live in even a reasonably populated area, more than likely all the VHF/UHF/800Mhz bands are being used. Scanners usually are the better choice in this case.
Why do people still use /\/\otorola's as "scanners", because they receive in some cases MUCH better than most scanners. Distant transmitters come in much better on dedicated single band /\/\otorola radios (and kenwoods/yaesu/vertex/etc).
Still wanna program your XTS5000 on the 800 TRS band. There was a post long ago here on how to trick the radio into not affiliating. Something about zone 1 programmed conventional, but scan TRS zone 2. That's all the details I can remember
locky?

Re: XTS 5000 Auto Affiliation
M does actually make a software application that will turn off the auto affiliation, it is handed out on a case by case type thing, to agencies, and they have to sign an agreement not to release it, but it is the genuine thing.

Lance: What?
Kilgore: Napalm, son. Nothing in the world smells like that.
Kilgore: I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
