More XTL2500 Programming Questions

Post by henryg »

Hello. Thanks for the help last time. A couple more questions. I'm still learning!

1 - Still can't figure out the channel spacing. I can get a drop down menu in Zone Channel Assignment, TX Opt Channel Spacing, but I can't get it to stay changed to 12.5 and what about receive?

2 - Just to confirm, I need both Conventional Personalities and Zone Channel Assignment? I am used to programming CDM1250's and I know I need both there.

Thank you again. Henry

After you have read the radio, go into the zone, channel window and slide the screen to the right with the arrows at the bottom of the window. You will get to an area where you will see the channel spacing information. Change it there on a per channel basis.

Don't forget to save it back to the radio.

Hello. OK. I went to the Zone Assignments and I only see transmit not receive. I know I'm close! Thanks. Henry

You set the TX and the RX follows without you doing anything for the channel band width.
