This will be nice when testing for BDA's and at least getting a ball park number without having to manually convert in a spreadsheet. Doesn't replace using the proper test equipment obviously but you can at least compare between a radio and the test equipment to see if there at least close.Firmware 29.00 just dropped and added real dBm display to conventional and trunked RSSI
Updated to 29 today, did they remove this feature? Can't find an option to enable the MDC/QC2 feature, I did disable the Instant Recall feature and have expert view on, not seeing anything.
You set the conventional personality System Type to MDC, and you'll see the QCII options.Updated to 29 today, did they remove this feature? Can't find an option to enable the MDC/QC2 feature, I did disable the Instant Recall feature and have expert view on, not seeing anything.

Yeah, when I set to MDC I see a tone signaling list(edit: this appears to have been a thing for a while and is far from new) option where I can select a tone list I created but it errors out unless I set that to none or select QC2 as my signaling type. After reading Tech21's reply looks like this only works if you have the digital tone signaling which I understand to be QA09000, I have GA09000 which is just 'tone signaling' so guess I am SOL, not sure why you need that to do something with analog but thats the M way.You set the conventional personality System Type to MDC, and you'll see the QCII options.
GA09000 is the mobile version of QA09000, both are the same option.Yeah, when I set to MDC I see a tone signaling list(edit: this appears to have been a thing for a while and is far from new) option where I can select a tone list I created but it errors out unless I set that to none or select QC2 as my signaling type.

Do you need to have the radio in voice mute mode and parked on the QCII channel for it to play the tones (like a minitor in alert mode) or will it still play the tones if the radio is monitoring the channel or scanning? (Minitor in scan or monitor mode)GA09000 is the mobile version of QA09000, both are the same option.
I meant to say Conventional System in my previous post. That's where you'll find the QCII options have been added to the MDC system type.
