MT2000 Programming

[ocguard]

Not a trunking question, but a Motorola conventional programming question.

Having problems getting the MPL (multiple PL) feature to work right on an MT2000 radio. I have programmed the MPL list, set up a button to activate the feature, and enabled MPL in the appropriate conventional personality option settings. The codeplug writes without any errors, etc. It appears as though the radio has successfully been programmed with MPL, however, once in use, the button programmed as the MPL button does nothing. Not with a short press, not with a long press. The physical button is working correctly because it causes the keypad autolight to come on, but it does not control the MPL function.

Anyone have similar problems, suggestions... Thanks in advance!

You would have better luck asking on Batlabs but my guess would be that your firmware is not high enough to support MPL.

This is one of those things that have been talked about for years in M circles. I have never seen an MTS that had functioning MPL ever. I've only heard of it working correctly once and that was on an Australian MTS that had an "SP" (Special Product) model number and oddball frimware. It's long been rumoured that the firmware is the key to MPL operating.

Good luck.
