Astro 25 Conventional Voting Scan

[boonebroadcaster]

Hello, I have several radios, I had an XTS3000 with voting scan enabled with several repeaters covering a large area with the same tx frequency but different rx frequencies. I programmed this using this Astro CPS. I am trying to replicate this in an XTS5000 using Astro 25 CPS. However, the programming method is different.
Can anyone fill me in on how to property set a voting scan channel using the personality, scan list and zone using Astro 25. Thanks in advance.

P.S. my XTS 5000 is properly flashed to allow conventional voting scan.

Astro25 (in later firmware versions, I do not recall the version at the moment) greatly enhanced the way we can use conventional vote scan by allowing us to create the voting list within the conventional personality rather than in a scan list. I'll use the receive only NOAA weather channel as an example:

In the conv personality, under "Scan", check the box for "Mixed Vote Scan Enable".

Next, under "Frequency Options", add all rx frequencies that you wish to vote.


You may also select the scan list type "Voting Scan", however that will vote the strongest out of every channel in the scan list regardless of the agency or user group. By using the method above, you may still use priority scan and vote the strongest channel within a personality (multicast systems), etc.

Hope this helps (I also answered you Austech post)

And make sure your 5000 has vote scan. that was not a standard feature.
