Tait TP-9300 - Problem with programming Duel Sot

[pmac3555]

Hoping someone can help,
I'm needing to program 2 DMR frequencies in a TP-9300. Standard analogue work fine , but when I have entered the DMR Channels, it will not allow me to allocate the "Duel Slot Direct Mode" What am I missing?? I haven't had any trouble with programming other brands of DMR radios, just this one...
Has anyone done a video on programming a DMR Channel in a TP-9300 or similar, from the start???
Hoping someone can help

DMR is tricky.There are no specific videos or guides for that radio, so I used Google AI for this summary

Programming a DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) radio involves configuring the radio's settings using programming software, often called CPS (Customer Programming Software). This includes setting your DMR ID, programming talk groups, and configuring channels with specific frequencies, color codes, and time slots. The process generally involves reading the radio's current configuration, modifying it, and then writing the new settings back to the radio.

Key Steps in DMR Radio Programming:

1. Obtain and Install Programming Software (CPS): Download the CPS from the radio manufacturer's website.
   
   
2. Connect and Read the Radio: Connect your radio to your computer using a programming cable and read the current code plug (configuration file) into the software.
   
   
3. Set Your DMR ID: This is a unique identifier for your radio and is usually found in the settings menu.
   
   
4. Program Talk Groups: Enter the talk groups (channels) you want to use, specifying their names, numbers, and whether you want to receive or transmit on them.
   
   
5. Configure DMR Channels:For each channel, specify:
   • Color Code: The repeater's color code (CC) is like a CTCSS tone for analog radios.
     
     
   • Time Slot: DMR radios operate on two time slots (1 or 2) within the same frequency.
     
     
   • Repeater RX and TX Frequencies: The frequencies the repeater transmits and receives on.
     
     
   • Power Output: High or low power.
     
     
   • Talk Group: The specific talk group for that channel.
     
     
   • Channel Name/Alias: A name to display on the radio for that channel.
6. Save the Code Plug: Save the modified code plug to your computer as a backup.
   
   
7. Write the Code Plug to the Radio: Upload the new code plug to your radio.

Dual mode only works on simplex.

Are your TX and RX frequencies the same? Because if they are different then it thinks you are setting up a repeater. Verify this first.
