Mtx9000 & mpl

[wdatkinson]

I have an MTX9000 that I've converted to use on the amateur 33cm band. I would like to have this radio programmed to be as dynamic as possible, since it's not FPP. In order to facilitate that, I've setup an MPL list with 12 PL and 4 DPL codes. I've enabled MPL in each desired personality. Lastly I've configured one of the side buttons for MPL. After programming the radio, and selecting one of the personality, I get nothing when I press the button that I assigned to MPL.

I've programmed MPL on an MTS2000 and a Spectra before, so this isn't my first rodeo with this feature. Is there something different with the MTX9000 or is that feature not available even though it's in RSS?

curious.. I didnt know there was a 33cm band, I thought it was just 2meter, 6meter, 220mhz, 70cm, 1200mhz.... whats the band split on a 33cm?

902.0 - 928.0

Here's the ARRL band plan, but from what I've discovered it's not followed too closely:

902.0-903.0 Narrow-bandwidth, weak-signal communications
902.0-902.8 SSTV, FAX, ACSSB, experimental
902.1 Weak-signal calling frequency
902.8-903.0 Reserved for EME, CW expansion
903.1 Alternate calling frequency
903.0-906.0 Digital communications
906-909 FM repeater inputs
909-915 ATV
915-918 Digital communications
918-921 FM repeater outputs
921-927 ATV
927-928 FM simplex and links

MPL was never supported on the MTX9000 controllers even though you can set it up in the RSS.

As I suspected. Thanks for the confirmation, Fineshot.

on a side note.... on an MTS with MPL...can you set up multiple lists of tones...or are you just limited to the 15 or 16 pending on if you use one "code" as CSQ?

Yes - with cps you are limited to the 15 or 16 pending if you use one "code" as CSQ.

alright, so there is no making multiple lists like that of the scan lists?
