xts5000

Hello all! I have a question about an XTS5000 and monitoring digital trunked system via the hidden channel method. I have two different systems programmed in here. (I am well versed in the CPS and programming) but for some reason one of the systems works perfectly and receives 100% of the time...

I have an XTS5000 and an XTS2500. I noticed that the XTS5000 gets a garbled voice and sometimes the transmissions get clipped. The XTS2500 seems to work fine. This leads me to believe that the 5000 needs a tuning. I'm new to the tuning/alignment world. I have a buddy, that has helped me a great...

Hello everybody, I'm hoping someone can answer my question. I have a VHF XTS5000 Model 2, and I have confirmed it received Motorola QC-II decode cuz I've gotten it to alert on my local stations tones. But my question is: is there any way to decode multiple QC-II tones on 1...

Hello all. I have an XTS5000 that I just aquired. This is my second one and I'm having a bizarre issue with it. Everything works great except for one thing... When I am receiving transmissions, about 2 seconds into the transmission the radio makes a very loud beep. This happens during every...

Has anyone ever noticed there is a missing tone of 173.8 in the XTS5000 software? Am I missing something? Why is that tone missing?

Happy early new year to all! My question is regarding using NMN6250A public safety mic as a regular speaker mic on an XTS5000 sans antenna on the mic. If I simply connect the mic to the radio without installing the SMA RF adapter, will the RF continue to port to the radio mounted antenna? I...

Hey quick question, can I use a Motorola XTS5000 for DMR or would I have to use something like a TYT or a MotoTRBO?

Hey guys! Has anybody had the chance to use a NNTN7687 or NNTN7687A yet? It's an adapter/converter that allows you to charge an APX7000 in a charger for an XTS5000... I know Motorola makes it I'm just wondering how it works and how well it charges, is there a difference between using the...

Hello, I have a medium experience with programming Motorola MTS2000 and XTS3000 series. I was able to successfully program buttons, scan lists, channels and zones with those radios. Recently I have got a couple of Motorola XTS5000 UHF radios. When I'm trying to program them using ASTRO 25...

Someone is going to think of me as an idiot for this question. I've been using a WinRadio G305e to monitor my local P25 Simulcast system and have discovered almost 18 new talk groups. I want to add them to my XTS5000 in the non affiliate system I have been using (yes I know how to program my...

Do the version numbers that service mode spits out have any correlation to the programming software version that was used on the radio last?

Is a XTS 5000 800MHz capable of monitoring the following systems all on one radio? And is it possible to program Channel 1 for a certain talk group etc? Toronto Old - https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=738 Toronto New - https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=7995 Peel New -...

Does the XTS 5000 have a diagnostic/service mode whereby it will display received signal strength in dBm? If so, how do you put the radio in that mode of operation (e.g., press the x button 5 times after power on, etc.)? Thanks!

Hey everyone, I have a question to ask about setting QCII on the XTS5000. Back a few years one of the ambulance corps where i volunteered had HT1000 and we used them as our radio and pager. You would be able to use the ABC selector switch as to switch from alerting to tones as A setting was to...

I'm inquiring of those of you who have XTS5k's in your services, if any of you have noticed the clear plastic lens partially detaching from the radio housings. A firm thumb press will reveal it. We had a recent batch that exhibited more than a 50% failure of the weld. That caused water ingress...

Hello, I stumbled across a XTS5000R that was for sale with a flashcode of 5A9008-101F87-7. It claims to have trunking AND fpp. I contacted the seller and they said that "You just have to keep the trunking and FPP in separate zones". It has R17.02 firmware and dsp. Is this a new option with...
