Astro Digital mode MDC ID
Does anyone know if a XTS3000 portable operating in digital mode will transmitt MDC. If so how can I do this ?
The short answer is no - you can't send MDC in digital mode.
MDC is used to add capabilities to analog voice systems. Features like PTT-ID, radio check, call alert, etc.
All of these (and more) are intrinsic to digital (APCO25) systems and are transmitted by embedded data (no databurst packet required).
If what you want is 'unit ID' , that is possible in digital mode and in the case of the XTS3000 requires that the radio be flashed with the digital ID display option.
