APX CPS / Personality help

[lemish]

Call me OCD or whatever you like, but I have about 50 conventional personalities and I want to resort them in some other order than they were entered.

If I copy them to a new one (at the bottom of the list) and delete the old one, all the corresponding zone entries are lost.

Is there any method to sorting personalities - anything including an XML trick or any suggestion?

Anyone?

There has to be a way?

Have you have tried drag and drop? I guess you need to re arrange them in such an order that the zone is not left pointing at nothing.

Go to "Tree View" and just click on a personality and, while holding the left button down, move the selected personality up or down the list, Windows-style.

I am still looking for an answer to this question.

I have tried holding the left mouse button down and draging it Windows style, but either that doesnt work or I am doing it wrong.

HELP PLEASE...

Just holding the left button down and moving the selected personality up or down the list doesnt work - sorry.

In the Astro 25 CPS there was the capability when in table view to Add to End, Insert, Delete, and Move!

Someone please tell me that the APX CPS can do this or there is some way to cheat and do it?

I have never been able to find a way to sort Conventional Personalities in the APX codeplug. Although you can program these like an FPP XTS radio, one Personality to every Zone Channel, the desired method is to have a very few personalities that incorporate multiple Options (frequency pairs) underneath them.

You can have 5 Conventional Personalities to cover most options:
1. ASTRO MM (P25 TX and Mixed Mode RX)
2. ANAL MM (Analog TX and Mixed Mode RX)
3. ASTRO (P25 TX and P25 RX)
4. ANALOG (Analog TX and Analog RX)
5. RX ONLY (No TX and Mixed Mode RX)

There was a limit of 48 Options under each personality but I believe that limited has been raised recently.

I too came from the XTS3000 world where you had to put in a jillion conventional personalities because the frequency data was in each personality rather than in the zone/channel list section. Suddenly the light went on one day when I realized (duh!) that the only real variation I needed among personalities was the type of RX, type of TX, blank TX, and scan list assignment. I run everything on the receive side in mixed mode which eliminates one of the variants M stated above. If you do a pretty straight mode-slaved scan you still don't need many conventional personalities since you'll be putting all of the zone 1 channels on scan list 1, etc. -- you get the idea and, most important, limiting the number of conv. channels saves a ton of tedious, repetitive typing.
