APX 7500 O3 channel colors

[rjvalenta]

I'm pulling out what's left of my hair trying to accomplish something which seems would be easy but I must be doing something wrong...

Basically... I'd like to change the color of the background by channel using an O3 control head (and possibly an O9):

current CPS settings:

Display- Advanced- Color Channel Background: Expanded Color Options
All Radio Profiles- Intelligent Lighting- Disabled (all checked)
Zone Channel Assignments- Channel Color Backlight-
7FIRE83 - Red
7LAW82 - Blue
SAR Talkgroup - Orange
Marine16 - DarkBlue
etc

but in the end, all the channels are still on the white background.

i assume 'channel color backlight' applies more toward something like an O5 head, but... is there no way to change the screen background for O3 or O9 etc?

i have been searching online, all i found was an X311Spartan video but i assume it only applied to portables. am i overlooking something?

Thanks

All of the answer you seek are in CPS help.

For starters, channel color background is primarily a portable top display option, not a mobile option. The exception to this is the newer E5 head, which is what that Color Channel Background parameter is for.

IMPORTANT: This feature is only applicable to the E5 Control Head.
