I have stumbled upon a dilemma that has be completely stumped, hoping that someone here can help.
I have a XPR5550 VHF, model number M28JQN9KA1AN, that is refusing to behave. Basically it will not let me use the talkaround option on a repeater channel the way it should. The button programs fine. I have tried switching buttons to make sure it was not a faulty button.
It is a conventional repeater channel. I've checked in both the amateur bands and public safety bands, same effect. I was on the 2.06 firmware, so I tried upgrading to the 2.08, that didn't help.
Talkaround is checked in menu area, but does not show up on the utilities menu, which is also odd.
The allow talkaround box is checked in the individual channels on all repeater channels.
I have checked and rechecked the channel and the radio wide settings.
I can't find anything that conflicts. I've even compared it to my UHF which works fine, and the relevant settings are the same.
Very boggling....I'm stumped, please help...
