CTCSS disable on rocker switch not working properly

[Hightower]

Astro Saber 3 VHF with encryption DES/DES-XL module installed. The DES module is disabled in the CPS, and CTCSS enable/disable is assigned to the rocker switch (not the concentric switch). If I'm on a freq. with CTCSS enabled, and I go to switch the CTCSS off using the rocker switch, the CTCSS does get disabled, BUT when I go to re-enable the CTCSS (just flip the switch back), the CTCSS will not enable untill I rotate the channel switch and change zones. The CTCSS is disabled on all channels untill I mess with the channels and zones.

Specs on this problem radio:
VHF
R5.60.00
DSP 6.05.01
flash 581001-041A00-1

Could it be that the DES module is interfering with the radios firmware preventing the CTCSS on the rocker switch from work properly?

I've got a slightly older firmware UHF AS3 setup the same exact way (but no cypher module), and no problems with CTCSS on the rocker switch.

This would not be a problem, but I got a cheap friend who refuses to upgrade his ham radio (no PL - that old of a radio!!).

K101 - thanks for the input. I only have the ability to program the radio on my main system, and no where near it right now. Later tonight, I will most certanly try what you suggested.


Thanks for responding so fast

OK, check in RSS for HUB Defeats PL, and it was enabled already. So that was not the problem. I went through the RSS/CPS manual again for the millionth time, and nothing seemed to be programmed wrong.

Finally came across the "Designated Data Member" and it was the problem. I had incorrectly and accidently messed up with this codeplug. It was set to Selected Channel, where in my case it needed to be none.
