Hello Upman,
I have the 396XT, latest firmware blah blah blah...
I've been using the RID feature for the past month to identify all the radios being used by my local Fire Department. Out of about 250 radios I've gotten 175 confirmed and Alpha tagged. Then I discovered that I can't do anything usefull with that information. Reading over the DOC's I discovered that while the radio does indeed show you the RID's and assign ALPHA tags to them, it won't allow you to set alerts to them.
I then tried to use ARCXT, ProScan, FreeScan and BCTools to accomplish my goals. Nope. None of them work. A little further research showed that the XT is not sending out any data to the software once a RID has been assigned an ALPHA tag.
My goals?
To be able to follow one particular RID. If that radio keys up I want to hear it.
To be able to follow a group of RID's. If any of them key up I want to hear it.
The software I use to be able to record a particular RID or a group of RID's.
Perhaps it's time for a firmware upgrade?
Thanks for listening in any case.
