Programming a Astro25 system in XTS5000

[rbrtklamp2]

Before i start i want to say im not trying to accomplish anything illegal i have the proper access and system keys to access the system what i dont have is the know how. I am helping out the radio guy who is a good friend of mine from one of my local depts program in some interop stuff they have for the state p25 system they currenty use a 3600 system and it works fine but when he trys to program the P25 system in it does not follow it. Oddly we tried a process i was told about from a friend and attatched the talkgroup scanlist to a conventional channel and when it scanned it works we hear it clear as day but when switched back over to the actual talkgroup and onto the system it does not open up the speaker for any audio and doesnt even blink the red light like it is seing the tranmissions. FYI we can see all the site info and the sites rssi so i know its affiliating i dont know what setting i am missing but would be very greatful anybody who can help me.

Thanks,
Bob

Does the radio have 9600 P25 capabilities in the flash? At a minimum to do both is needs Q883 3600/9600 Interoperability.

You cant have TX inhibit set to any of the switches, only in the menu. the radio has to affiliate on a 9600 baud system theres no way around it. contact me privately if you need more help.

I have to ask, if you're authorized to use and program on the system, why do you have any TX INHIBIT option enabled? A Motorola trunking radio has to affiliate to update the controller, especially on a Smartzone system, so calls can be routed properly, to properly operate.

Something doesn't add up here...

I just bought an XTS5000R in UHF R2. It has the full keypad. I am currently using it as a demo piece for a company I consult for. Can it be programmed from the keypad for conventional operation?

Only if it's been flashed for FPP. What's your flashcode?

You'll need to be flashed for it but I'll leave it to others as to how you go about doing that. Without being a Federal agency, I'm not sure how you legitimately get it!

I think (don't quote me) you can get dongle FPP if you're not the Feds but I know the Q52/53 combo is restricted.
