Digital Simplex no TX-please help.

[Steve_eo]

Programming my first CPS/XPR7580e....so sorry for the newbie question/lack of experience-I really have tried to resolve this myself.
I've successfully programmed one sample analog channel and that works perfectly fine.
Now on to trying one digital simplex (Talk Around) channel. I've done everything I can think of/read about online....but still no emission.
I've enabled TA in the channel, I've turned on TA with the programmed button, TX/RX freq are different (as they must be to enable TA), I've added a one Contact to the TX Contact Name, which is a Group Call (is this correct?) with a random ID, I've added a Group List to the RX (who cares what the ID is-just trying to TX for now), anything I'm missing?
As mentioned, analog channel TX's just fine.....and radio appears to TX with digital channel (IE I get the TX tones and display is correct) but there is just no emissions. IE spec an doesn't see anything.....strange.
Thoughts please?

Try print screen or snipping tool to capture shots of you desktop screen. The taking pictures of screen with phone is worthless to my eyes in reading them

Ha. Fair point!
Here are decent screenshots.....thank you so much for looking!

PRETTY simple. Your frequencies for RX and TX are different which is the issue as you're not using a repeater of any sort for the radio to hear that traffic. Gotta program the same for both, and follow the rx group list and whatnot to achieve simplex. Make sure radio IDs are different. Talkaround is only used in repeater settings

The TA checkbox goes red if you make the TX=RX freq. If read that someplace that they must be different. Which makes sense to me if you want simplex (TA).

The T/A is greyed out because you don’t need it.

It’s simplex put same Rx/Tx frequencies and codes and go to town. You don’t need to use the T/A option for simplex.

In the cellular band none the less.

I think this was the ticket.
Working as expected now. Thank you!
