M7100 unit ID scan

[KG5HHS]

Hello All,
I have looked in the help files, but don’t really know where to. When I’m scanning a P25 channel, the unit ID shows. Is there a way to shut it off so I know what channel is being received vs. what unit it talking?

I haven't been in RPM 1 in a while however look for Display Options. You can set it to be system line or group line if I recall and also specify toggle behavior of the display.

I’m using programmer, when I go into display setting the only things I can adjust are the backlight and the group line display, but when I select any one of them, it says it will truncate to 7 character (6 characters if I select the dash option).

Nope, part of the radio's design protocol to display the transmitting Unit's ID (either raw LID number, or aliased Alpha-Numeric name tag) in EDACS trunking, and P-25 conventional & trunking formats.


The last radios I remember allowing you to disable UNIT ID display were the: MDR, MDX, PCS, Allegra, XPE, EMP,EMM, TNP M-PA, FMD, (Alpha) FMD, M-PA, all of which were EDACS-1 & EDACS-2 era radios.

That's what I was afraid of. I also noticed that while displaying the unit id in the top line, the bottom line shows "1" Which is what I have set for P25 Group Set (P25 Group Set: P25 CONV/ Group Name: 1 / Group ID: 1) Would it be possible to set these per channel so I can tell at least what channel it is?
Example:
Group Name: Channel 1/ Group ID: 1 - For Channel 1
Group Name: Channel 2/ Group ID: 1 - For Channel 2

Yes. I always scan displaying channel name.
Check your personal e-mail. I just sent you a PDF on another issue.
Send me the personality file, and I will tweak it for you...

After seeing John's personality file, the solution was simple.


For channel not group display on P-25 Conventional, change the DISPLAY setting from Group to Channel.

I have changed the LCD Display to the Channel option, But I am still getting the Unit ID showing up when ever they transmit.

AS IT WAS DESIGNED TO DISPLAY.


Cannot be disabled.

I'm sorry, I see where I messed up. Yes, I am still seeing the Unit ID, which is fine. However, I have changed the LCD Display to the Channel option, but the P25 group name is still showing up instead of the channel.

Might be a corrupt personality file.


Did you read the radio, edit the file, and program it back in?

I have experienced this same problem when using Programmer. When using RPM I have no issues.

I usually don't. I usually just edit the file, save it and write it to the radio.

What is the process and cost associated with upgrading to RPM?

 

[TDR-94]

Find a Harris dealer that will sell RPM to you and prepare to spend several hundred dollars. RPM2 is all you will be able to purchase. No trunking systems can be programmed without AAC from a system administrator.

 

[KG5HHS]

that's the price I was afraid of. I don't know that spending that much when I already have programmer is worth it.
