What radios do you own?: X9000 thru APX

I am assuming here, but it is to my knowledge that all XTS3500's would come as a minimum of IMBE if ordered with the Astro option.

However, since there still some VSLEP systems out there, you may have a VSLEP radio.

Last time I checked, all IMBE radios should have Digital CSQ option unless something isn't programmed right somewhere. What is the flashcode? If this was not purchased new, it is possible that the radio could have been hacked somewhere down the line.

Other than that, I would think its a programming issue.

This is that same guy who repeatedly comes to this site under different names asking for the same old crap.

You have to know what the network ID if you want to have it programmed. Nobody just "has it". There's no decoder program to find it out.

If your radio doesn't have digital carrier squelch in it (which I find hard to believe) then buy a different radio that does.

Ah. He has been PM'ing me and trying to help out (inbox is at max so I can't get anymore...maybe I should delete some...)

The flashcode that I got was H35 and Astro ready. I am assuming hacked radio, even though he says he can Rx digital.

I haven't seen the other postings as I haven't been able to catch up as much since I have been working 80hrs/week at work lately. Sucks, but nice checks![/list]
