XTS5000 800/700 Radio

Scanning a trunking network with a ASTRO25 Radio

Scanning a trunked system in conventional personality zone. By setting the deviation to 2.5 kHz the 700Mhz voice channels have to be scanned manually. By setting the deviation to 5.0 kHZ the 800Mhz voice channels can be heard/scanned normally.

Did that resolve your issue?

No I already had it set to narrow deviation, but I never complain if someone is kind enough to try to help

This is conventional P25 Split transmit narrow band, this isn't trunking. 16 channels per zone, and yes they are including in my scan list. And thank you all for trying to help I appreciate all input.

769.00625 and 799.00625 are the first valid frequencies.

If you want to go lower, you'll have to hex edit the CPS file to change the limits.

I have Hex Editor Neo and have the file up in the computer, do you know where to edit it? Would it be under the channel assignment I would put it in?

You don't need to change the frequency limits. Those frequencies you posted are within the allowed frequencies of your radio.

So you could always successfully enter those frequencies without an error?

In your original posts you made it seem like you couldn't even enter those, but now the issue has changed to you can't scan them.

Maybe you should post your codeplug for others to look at.

That was my mistake. I also entered the 700Mhz frequencies along with lower deviation into conventional personality, But for some odd reason the frequencies won't unmute while in scan mode. Sorry for the confusion, I'll start a new thread, my apologies to the OP....

Is it by any chance simulcast?

 

[SCPD]

A digital or analog voting system that is simulcast?

Sure. Why not?

My point was if the "Digital modulator" type is set to C4FM and it's P25 simulcast it won't work, it needs to the set to CQPSK.

In manual it "may" work, but in scan it won't...been there done that.

 

[wb6sub]

this is 16 conventional APCO25 channels in the zone all narrow band all recieve 769.***** and transmit 799.*****

We have many analog simulcast systems, the next town just did a 5 site analog simulcast system with 7 receivers.
The biggest around us is a 26 site analog simplex simulcast system with total 35 receivers

95% of the Digital systems around here are simulcast, I guess since they were doing a new digital system they might as well get the coverage they want.

We also still have some single site trunking systems and many simulcast trunking systems

When I try to enter the frequencies in the program it gives me the red text and "honks" at me and it reverts to another frequency when I try to save it

If you can help the OP, please do so.

If you want to post incorrect off-topic information, don't.

The only way I could duplicate that was having the "Tx Opt Transmit Dev" set to 5 kHz.

Interesting...

 

[wb6sub]

Ok I finally figured out the issue with the program, when I put the frequency in it "honks" turns red and I move on because it defaults to another deviation once I change that it accepts it but now I try to program the radio with it and it gives me a message that says "Radio Failed to Acknowledge Error Context: 24, Status c0000386" anyone? No idea what that means?

 

[wb6sub]

disregard last I finally got it to take it the last issue was the db9 was not making good contact ...please forgive the newbie in Motorola programming but this is how I learn the best.
