At great risk of condemnation and ridicule, I need to find some instruction in Astro25 to set up a Non-affiliated scan of a trunking system. I have viewed the sticky post here and the rather rambunctious threads on the subject on this site. Some background first. I'm a 35 year HAM (W4HLK) and have a great deal of radio experience. I'm not looking for someone to just tell me how, or to do it for me, where is the lesson in that? I need help to understand how. I already use unitrunker on the PC and can hear all I want. I want to know how to program the 5000 for the sake of just knowing how to do it. It's been 2 weeks with this XTS5000 and I've gone nowhere. I have watched several sketchy videos on YouTube and read a multitude of articles on the subject. I feel like it should be working from what I've seen and learned. I have my key for my site, put in my controls. Made a scan list beyond CH16. Also, set up my TG in hex and they show up where they should and list by there name on the scan list. But still nothing. I am starting to think the code plug that came in the radio may have some settings off that I just don't realize. Since there is no way to factory reset the code plug I must assume the over all settings are ok but perhaps not . I am about to just go outside and scream. I have never run into anything as non intuitive as Astro25 in my life.
Thanks guys, Heather.
