CPS help (CDM/HT1250)

[N0BDW]

Hi folks,

I've done extensive searching and can't find the specific answer I'm looking for, so I hope you can help.

I used to have my CDM1250 setup to encode and decode MDC1200 IDs. I was trying to setup my HT1250 to do the same, and somehow in the process I messed something up in my CDM1250 and it no longer displays IDs.

Can you please tell me in CPS specifically:
The minimum settings required to decode and display MDC1200 IDs
The minimum settings required to encode an MDC1200 ID on a conventional channel

I don't recall this being that difficult, I've programmed it for people a dozen or so times, but somehow I've managed to bugger it and can't unbugger it.

Thanks.
Ben

Check each personality and make sure on the Signaling tab that the Rx is set to your MDC system.

Under Call --> MDC Call, make sure the same system is selected as the designated receive system for EACH defined ID.

If all else fails, send me your codeplug and I'll look it over.

If you're trying to decode the same MDC that's programmed to encode on the other radio it won't show.

Ah!

I bet that is the issue.

Okay, thanks.

Okay, thanks.

Ben,

Change the ID on one of the radios and see if they each decode the other. If that's the case, you're all set, just remember to change the ID back. I had the same "uh-oh" moment when I tested my mobile against my portable, then tried a third radio and they both ID'd correctly.

I still have your codeplug so if you have more issues, give me a shout.

Was out your way the weekend before Christmas. Drove by the station a couple of times, but could not stop as the wife was with me and we were on a tight schedule.

Thanks Steve!

I'll give that a try.
