Problem with Motorola XTS3000 Model III

[MAbramowicz]

Hey guys! I purchased an 800mhz version of the XTS3000 Model III, and it came to me programmed conventionally. However, I came across an issue as soon as I unboxed it. The MUTE is on the radio. Transmit is possible, but not receiving anything.

Guy at the shop says it's a switch that was hit, but most of the switches and buttons aren't programmed. I need some advice on how to turn off the muting. Every time you press a button it beeps loudly, so it isn't that kind of muting.

Thanks,

Since you can hear audio coming from the buttons being pushed I'm assuming the speaker is not muted. I may be wrong but I don't think there even is a muting option for safety reason, even at the lowest volume setting you should still hear some audio if left default in CPS.

One thing that comes to mind is that the pl/DPL/NAC may be mismatched from transmitting radio so the squelch isn't opening, there should be an programmed to "monitor" which disables the pl tone. Press that button and you should see a speaker icon on the screen along with static noise. If you hear the audio you've been missing then the wrong pl/DPL was programmed.

Good luck.
