AstroP25 / Xtl-2500 Multiple scan lists

[NA7CS]

Good day,

I am programming my XTL-2500 and need some guidance with scan lists. As in a separate list for each zone.

Some pertinent information.

The radio was tested/tuned by a /\/\ technician and I have a good base code plug & copies to work with.
I have a valid copy of RVN4186AX

I have several conventional zones/modes programmed, & a separate scan list for each zone. The problem is, no matter which zone I go to it defaults to the first zone's scan list. The other lists are completely ignored.

All the conventional zones/modes have been programmed in personality 1.

In doing some looking, I found if I need to add P25 modes, a p25 personality needs to be added. Do I need to add a new personality for each zone (and add those modes to it) to get the scan list for that zone to actually work?

Thank you in advance.

If you do find out if you can set up multiple scan lists, please let us know. I would love to have a few on my radio (I am purchasing an XTL5000 this week, and would like to have one for fire/EMS, one for fire/EMS/law, and one for railroad frequencies.

I will try to add a new personality, create a zone, modes & scan list to put in it and see how that goes. Will post how it goes either way.

Ok, I answered my own question on setting up multiple scan lists. Here are the steps I took to do it.

1. Create a new personality for each zone I wanted a separate list for. Make sure you have it configured the want you want/need it.
2. Add a new zone, and assign the modes to (one of) the new personalities in the Personality # drop down list in the zone/Channels tab.
3. Create a scan list for the new zone.
4. Select the scan list in the drop-down Scan List Selection under the Scan tab for the desired personality.
