Motorola XTS 3000

[SCPD]

Hello. I have a friend who has a XTS 3000 and is having one issue with it.

He has Talkgroups he wants to put in scan and scan those only. So he made a scan list with just the Talkgroups only that he wants to scan in that scan list. He put them in there and has everything set up. Now when he goes to that Zone Folder with those Talkgroups and puts it in scan, the RED LIGHT keeps on blinking and he is not getting any calls coming through from any of those Talkgroups. It is light something is always transmitting and keeping the light blinking all the time.

Is there something he is missing that he should check off or uncheck or something else wrong for why it is doing this.

I will be waiting for any replies from anyone on here to help me out with this issue so I can let my friend know what the issue is and hopefully how to fix it and get it to scan those Talkgroups in that SCAN LIST.

Thanks.

We don't have nearly enough information to begin helping you.

Wow, just wow.

Your friend has a blinking red light on a radio that's obviously on a trunking system he isn't authorized on.

Your friend needs to sell the radio and buy a scanner.

some people just need to have a scanner to monitor systems forget the radios unless you know what your doing and think they know everything lol

Maybe his "friend" should join RR so we could interact with him directly.

Maybe if the poster provides the RID, someone can fix the flashing red issue....

This guy again....good grief!

Hey coolguy. If you are truely are coolguy you would have researched this topic by now and would not be here asking questions such as this. You've had plenty of time since the last time you asked the same question.

 

[davidzimmerman]

Coolguy just might be the one with the problems not his friend i'm sure.

Hope the sys admin will inhibit it and this should take care of the problem.

Not to play "radio police" you should stop using that radio on a trunked system if your not an authorized user.

Anyway, if the red-light blinks at ANY time when on trunked talkgroups that means the radio is attempting to affiliate with the system, which means it is attempting to transmit on whatever frequency is programmed in the band plan to communicate with the control channel. Regardless of whether the band plan has been screwed with to prevent the radio from actually talking on the system is moot, the radio is still attempting to transmit on some frequency. You should get the programming checked, doesn't matter whether it was programmed "a long time ago" or yesterday, the programming is wrong.
