Retevis Retevis RT73 Talkgroup issues

[idle00955]

I have several Retevis HT’s and Motorola sl7550’s. All work great together on dmr.
simplex channel with CC1 and slot 1 with talkgroup 99.
my issue is when I program my Retevis rt73 it doesn’t work.
is there a way to monitor like a wildcard talkgroup so it will open up the Squelch?
Maybe I’m just not programming it correctly. This radios CPS confuses me a lot.

As with any DMR radio you will have to:
Create a Zone for your channel (On the RT73, do this first)
Create a digital group contact with the number 99
Create a channel in your zone with the relevant frequency, The contact above, CC:1 and TS:1
Create a DMR Group and add your channel to this group
Go back to the channel and assign this group to the channel
Posibly, repeat above 2 steps, creating a scan group and assign it to the channel.

WIth that done, you should be able to hear the transmission from your other transmitters.

You can enable promiscious mode (Enable one of the function buttons for this to make it easy) and listen to all TG's and CC's on a given frequency/timeslot.

Do experiment with the TS settings, on my Radioddity copy of this radio I had to work a bit to enable the correct setting - there was an odd 'auto' setting for timeslot that was not well documented. Think I had to disable that an force TS:1 on the radio.
