Bug in MTS2000 CPS

Post by Jayce »

R02.03 version, under Trunking/Trunking Configuration/ Smartzone there is a check box to Clear Adjacent Site List. You can clear this box, write to the radio, read the radio and the box will be checked again. If you clear the box and save the codeplug, the box will be checked agin when you reopen the codeplug. I have a case opened on MOL now. They say that the box only affects multi-system radios, but why am I having roaming problems on my 2000s now after 15 years of service? We only have a single system in our radios.
We are in the middle of rebanding, but have not begun on the infrastructure yet. Anyone else havimg problems with the new CPS?

Keeping in mind that I am not a SmartZone guru...

From reading the help file, it seems like that checkbox, while not necessarily completely intuitive, is doing exactly what it was designed to do (works as designed is a phrase I am becoming increasingly familiar with, alas). The Adjacent Site List is not something you can program with CPS, it comes down through the system when the radio affiliates to a particular site. So, my read on this is that this temporarily cached info will be removed from the codeplug when saving or writing, and the radio will get fresh info the next time it affiliates with the system.

I would suspect an infrastructure issue vs a CPS issue, but anything's possible at this point. Do you have other types of subscribers (MCS, Astro, or Astro25) that are behaving as expected and/or not having the issue you are seeing with your MTS2000's?
