Deselect FPP on XTS5000 VHF 3 CPS 20.1

[W6MVT]

I've not programmed a codeplug on Astro25 CPS since before FPP arrived. I bought an XTS5000 with codeplug loaded with 240 personalities and 15 zones. I wanted to "dumb" the radio down to deselect FPP, delete duplicate personalities down to a few shared ones, and then load the frequencies I wish. It will not allow me to deselect FPP ENABLE (little sunglasses appear.) So of course it won't allow me to delete the duplicate personalities. Please guide this old practitioner. Thanks in advance.

Some zones on an XTS are mandatory FPP, just the nature of how FPP is

Zone Assignment #1 and conventional personalities 1-17 are for FPP programming and can not be deleted. However, you can delete everything else up to that point and create your own custom program.

Although, I do make Zone Assignment #1 available just in case I want to FPP a channel in a pinch.

Just because it’s enabled in the CPS doesn’t mean you have to use it on the radio.

You can remove all but the first zone

You will find/learn that once you develop a codeplug file you will not be able to insert or move a channel pair or zone assignment except at the end. The only way around that easily is add your new channel or zone assignment at the end and start from the bottom as you would be starting new and work your way up to the point where you would have inserted normally. The Channel Picklist with your Zone Assignment Groups will be your friend in saving keystrokes and time.

Have fun with that when you want to modify the codeplug file.

If you don't understand what I am trying to convey, you will see when you need to append.
