Your satisfaction in your 'hobby', is not important to them at all.

The XPR 5XXX Kenwood Series radios with DMR at current FW don't seem to have an issue monitoring RAS enabled Mototrbo systems.

"RAS" proper is a Motorola encoding, it is not DMR standard.

If another manufacturer decides to add an equivalent of RAS to their firmware, that's up to them.

Could you tell which firmware and exact model were you using?
I’ve test NX-3720 FW 3.1.1.0 with no success.

XPR 5xxx radios are Motorola, not Kenwood. NXR maybe?

There is NX-5000 series radios in Kenwood so It may by about them.

Sorry, had a MOT radio right in front of me when I typed out XPR. Yes, NX-5000 Series.

Do you remember what firmware were you using? I’m interesting if there are hardware or software difference between NX3000 and NX5000. As I said I was testing multiple way to revive RASed comm but no success. (Auto-Slot etc)

I wish for a software that lets you put in the BP key so you can try all 255 keys and figure out the key.

If it were DMR BS or TRBO Con+ there is software out that that understands what to do with a BP key. Unfortunately it doesn't work with Cap+ due to limitations of its demodulator.
