XTS5000 DPL issue

[KC2JS]

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I can’t find anything. My XTS5000 will unmute for “interference” from something electronic when using a DPL. If I put the XTS5000 next to the HT1250 both monitoring the same frequency and dpl, the XTS5000 unmutes and you hear the static. The HT1250 LED blinks like there is off pl traffic, but it doesn’t unmute. If I set the XTS5000 to use a tpl on the same frequency, it does not unmute for the interference and acts just like the HT1250. I tried all the Unmute/Mute types without success. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?

Thanks.

Boy that's really odd! The mute/unmute conditions should not make a difference as long as there is a PL programmed in receive and you don;t have monitor enabled. I have had falsing problems before, but more with TPL, not DPL. This is not during scan is it?

 

[KC2JS]

It happens with scan on or scan off.

In the conventional personality for the channel > RX Options Tab > "Unmute / Mute Type" should be = And unMute, Or Mute.

If not use the drop down and change it to that selection.

Thanks. It is set to AND/OR already. I actaully tried all the settings and they all do the same thing.

if the serial number is 320CFK or earlier and this is a UHF radio it may be the 16.8 clock causing it. M had a service bulletin out on it. close proximity caused distorted RX and this could cause a false decode. there were several close proximity bulletins on the older XTS5000 units.

The serial number is 320CHR and it is UHF. Can these bulletins be found on MOL?

that one is newer then and should not be affected by the covered issues. as to finding the bulletins, i don't know what your account level lets you get. but they are under the resource center and then service on my account. i tried the etech support first, it did not come up with anything close to your problem, so i searched the resource center and found several bulletins but they were all for older release UHF 5000's.

Thanks. It's not that big of a deal. I have only noticed it in one spot in my house. I thought maybe the signal itself had something to cause the false dpl match, but it happens with every DPL.
