Batboard

I am trying to add TGs into the Trunking Personality / Talkgroup tab in CPS 16.00.00 and regardless of what TG I enter e.g. 40426, the CPS comes up with an invalid field error! Any ideas what may be the cause? Do the TGS have to be in HEX format?

After seeing your previous post here it would appear to me that you are attempting to do something you have no business doing. Not to be rude, but stick to your scanner.

More along the lines of the information you are looking for, yes all Motorola radios (with some exceptions like the GTX/Maxtrac series) use hex.

Be careful with those absolutes... APX allows entry of all values in hex and decimal (damn confusing)... A25 does unit IDs in hex and dec...

It is important to note that you cannot change a Unit ID in the ASTRO 25 CPS unless you have the system key for the trunking system you are trying to use. If you read a radio for which you do not have a key (software or hardware), you can't just change the ID and blow it into a different radio. You can, however, read the radio and change things that are not related to the trunking portion and then blow it back into the original radio, as long as your system doesn't have an advanced key that is write protected.
