I'm launching into my first NAS setup with an XTS2500 I picked up for $40. So far as I can tell, everything works, and I was able to get the firmware updated to the latest available. I've reviewed the NAS setup guides on this forum, CS, and everything YouTube has to offer. I'm not really sure what step I'm missing at this point. Everything is setup as RX only, data features disabled, syskey added, conventional channels assigned, scan lists go to zone assignments, hopefully I explained that correctly).
I'm not a stanger to CPS, the last radios I programmed were some HT1250's for my department many years ago, obviously ASTRO25 is a "little bit" more involved, but I would like to learn more about it which is why I picked this radio up cheaply before going with an XTS5000.
Model No: H46UCH9PW7BN (formerly a W2BN) ** Stupid question, is this why there's no RX? The radio doesn't actually have the hardware, just the modified features? Referencing this post: XTS2500 upgrades
Firmware: R20.50.10
Flashcode (likely janky from eBay): 521018-80078C-1
Happy to provide any screenshots or the codeplug necessary for review.

Many other posts at CS (not sure if I'm allowed to link them)
As a former first responder, I understand how critical it is that the steps for NAS are properly executed, that is why I want to make sure I'm not missing something trivial. I've double, triple, and quadruple checked that this radio has no possibility of transmitting and that everything possible is RX only and no data features are enabled.
Edit: I can hear on my first channel, but none of the others when they are selected. I did confirm the HEX value is right from the RRDB
