APX6000XE Not Trunking

[Fyndoro]

Hey ya'll im at a bit of a loss here.

I have an APX 6000XE I am attempting to program on the TxWARN system. Conventional works fine with the national 7/800 interop channels but once i make a channel trunked instead of conventional it white screens and wont turn off. It also dosen't display anything except the menu options on the bottom. I have no idea and it still accepts my codeplug without issue. Let me know what information you need and I can attempt to provide it to you.

For reference the radio model number is H98UCF9PW6AN, and the flash code is D01048-201490-5. Is there maybe a feature in the flash code i'm missing? Let me know!

I suggest calling 877-8TXWARN and asking them for programming assistance.

So many questions, but I'll just ask the biggest and most obvious.

Are you authorized to be on TxWARN? Let alone programming onto it yourself?

Yes I am authorized to be on TxWarn. As for programming it onto a radio, I wanted to avoid having to pay Harris County for provisioning a new radio.

Survey says....not.

 

[Fyndoro]

To be clear this is not a TXWarn issue, this is a trunking issue on the programming side.

 

[Fyndoro]

Survey says....not.

You willing to bet?

Post your codeplug and I’ll take a look at it.

Let me redact some of the info out of it and I'll send it over

Do you have a valid system key?
Were you assigned a valid radio ID on the system?

Your radio is being inhibited. Lucky for you they haven't decided to kill it so you can't revive it yourself.

If you don't have it programmed by the authorized shop, odds are that you'll never be allowed to use it on the system.

The radio shop is the only authorized keeper of that gate. Deal with them. Suck it up, buttercup. The ferryman must be paid.

Tell me you don't know how inhibiting/stunning an APX on an ASTRO 25 system works without telling me that you don't know how it works.

 

[Fyndoro]

Figured it out. Wasn't inhibited so thank you ElroyJetson for being unhelpful as your signature implies.

This is so wrong it almost became right again. Do you understand the sheer amount of radios that TXWarn has? It would take quite literally YEARS for Harris County to provision all of them especially when each agency has different requirements of its radios.

Issue resolved so I’m closing.
