Raw MDC Decode APX and XTL

[n9jig]

I have some APX7000's and XTL5000 (O3 HHCH) radios I am programming. For the most part I am doing fine but I have one issue I can't seem to wrap my knuckles around. Our systems use coordinated MDC ID's, with our car numbers as "Cxxx) and portable radios using the star and unit numbers of the officers. This obliviates the need for aliasing, and with several hundred radios over many channels it makes life simple for assigning MDC ID's.

While I could set up MDC Call Lists and assign alias's for decoded MDC codes, this limits me to 50 (or is it 100?) ID's, when it would be better and easier to have just the raw MDC ID be displayed on the radio. Our CDM1250 and HT1250 radios do this just fine, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it on the XTL's and APX's. I imagine I will have the same issue with XTS's that are inevitable in my future.

I am using v3 of the APX and v14 of the Astro RSS.

Are the radios flashed with MDC Decode? This is an option, does not come standard. Post the flashcode of the radios. This will help.

I found out from another source that I need the G114 flash, so I guess a call to my dealer is in order.

Thanks!
