XL45 and XL200

Kinda of new to the programming of Harris Radio's. I would like to have the radio screen display the name I give the radio, how do I do that? My FD call sign is Car 36, and when I turn on the radio I would like it to say Car 36 or even say C36 under the channel name. I am in the talks with the chief about doing alias in all the radio's, do I have to program that first?

Thanks
Andrew

No radio aliasing on Harris radios. You can't do it. It's not a feature. Not unless they rolled it out since my last RPM2 update.
Motorola supports that. Harris doesn't.

It also creates another piece of data to track, for EVERY affected radio and ID. It can greatly increase the time spent building the personality for the radio.

Actually it can be done. Depends on the radio model, but you can create a call list with the radio IDs and alias names you need, and set the radio up to display the alias name instead of the radio IDs. Works just fine.

I saw that you could do that with an icall list but didn't see how to do that with just radios IDs in normal PTT usage, NOT receiving icalls.

I think he means he wants the screen when IDLE to say his Call sign, like my moto says ASUNA when im sitting and nothing is going on

That's the way I read it to.

I think the "easy" way to do that is to name your zones the with the call sign, and then set it up to show zone name on the bottom of the display.
