I have an XTL5000 mobile radio mounted in a vehicle, which is on a trunked network. It's experiencing some strange behaviour that I'm hoping someone might be able to help me correct.
The vehicle is parked in a garage where there's no signal from the trunked network, so when you first turn it on it says "Out of Range" as expected. When you drive it out of the garage into an area where there's a strong signal, however, it still says "Out of Range" (no matter how long you leave it there). If you turn the radio off and back on again while it's in an area with strong signal, then as soon as it turns on it registers on the trunked network and shows full signal strength.
This is strange, because one would think that as soon as it enters an area with signal, it should recognize that, register on the trunked network, and stop showing "Out of Range". But, for some reason you have to reboot the radio for it to do that. Any thoughts?
Context: I'm the radio admin for our agency, have full programming access, etc.
