APX 6000 direct frequency

[Seymourmtn]

Greetings All,
Trying to change the Direct Frequency in CPS32. I am looking at the Conventional Personality section.
The initial RX and TX can be changed,but not the Direct column.

Am I missing something?

Thanks
Doug

If it's a repeater channel (different RX and TX), it will allow you to select if it can be direct or not.

If it's a direct channel (same RX and TX), no need to change anything because it's already direct

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If this is a repeater and you're trying to program the talkaround frequency, you don't need to modify the Direct Frequency field, as the radio defaults to the output for talkaround once you select the Direct/Talkaround option per-frequency.

If for some reason you have a need to program an entirely different frequency other than the repeater output as the talkaround, then you need to enable the Direct Frequency Enable option in Conventional Wide. Be very careful in doing this, however, because that option affects every conventional frequency radio-wide. If you enable that option, you will have to then go into every conventional personality to manually enter the talkaround frequency parameters for every channel you have Direct/Talkaround enabled.

tl;dr Ignore the Direct Frequency field unless you have a very unique reason to make a talkaround different from the Rx/TS Frequency.

Thanks, my mind wasn’t in the right place. Operator error
