We have 850 channels now, how many more do we get? How many more do we need?


Why not something useful, say like a bigger scan list.

I'm guessing you need Q53 or you'll lose FPP?

I would assume so, best to stick with the 9 for now. :)

Got the CPS loaded on my Visa machine (finally! Thank You!), seems to work fine. I'm not too keen on the classic windows setting though....

Yup, same as Ver10 and Ver11
Also, once you use Ver12, you can't go back versions either.

Don't have the specific number, but you will need FW12 to find out. CPS doesn't auto add them.

Ok, here are the new max channels for Portables....

XTS5000= 1000
XTS2500= 870
XTS1500= 96
MT1500= 96
PR1500= 32

And the Mobiles basically follow the same suit..
