Harris xg-100p gets stuck on first active channel.

[ISW376]

Recently acquired a Harris unity from work since they were upgrading to the new xl series radio.
I am currently using rpm 14c05 radio firmware is XGP R05C05.
All systems are set to rx only and is correctly indicated on the display.

Radio recieves perfectly, but when in system scan it stops scanning after the the 1st talk group it hears and won't pickup another talkgroup unless it is a pri 1 or pri 2 talkgroup.

After each transmission I have to start stop scan for it to scan again.

I have tried custom scan list as well but that didn't stop it from occuring either.

Hoping to get some advice I haven't seen any other posts on this problem.

Does it ever revert to scanning? How long have you waited? There is a hang time setting under scan options. I haven’t messed with it on a trunking system, but it’s designed to sit on a received channel for an amount of time before beginning to scan again.

It’s something to look at at least…

I believe I have it set to 0 I will double check, I have a G5 and it's picking up other traffic so I know I'm missing traffic. Sometimes it reverts back to scanning but it seems temperamental.

Hang time is set to 0.00

Try setting your hang time to 2 seconds.
Irregardless, you can still miss a call, like first come-first served.
Make all your TGs priority II unless you have a preference for a specific talk group.
I recall at least 1 TG has to be a priority.

Will do and I will report back, I currently have fire dispatch as pri 1 and a regional call tg as pri 2.

I'm amazed that was so simple it did the trick it returns back to the selected channel and scans thank you! Was worried it was a firmware bug and I haven't been able to figure out how to update to the latest haha.
Thanks for the assistance!

I’m running XLP R06P01….
on conventional let’s say I have a system (FRS/GMRS for any fcc enforcement officers reading this) using MDC and tone encode on different channels.. if I tx while scan is active (usually happens on a chan with tone encode) the radio gets stuck in transmit..

Hmmm… never had this happen, but I’m usually not using tone encode of any sort. What’s your hang time and what are your scan settings? PTT scanned? PTT selected? Resume scan after PTT? Does this happen every time or at random? I’d set the hang time to .5 seconds and see if that does anything for you.

I've not encountered this issue performing that exact operation on XLPR06G03. Perhaps a bug introduced in that version of the firmware?

I could load your mission plan and test with R06T02. I don’t have any plans set up with MDC.

It’s alwahs

its always been doing it since I got the radio with that firmware… maybe I’ll try to redo the mission plan from scratch
