Hytera and Monitoring CAP+

[racingfan360]

Hi, looking for some advice/confirmation or otherwise on this please....

I believe it is NOT possible to monitor a Moto CAP+ system using a Hytera. Is anyone able to confirm, and if it is possible, provide any guidance on how?

Just to clarify, the question is about using the Hytera in basic listen-only mode, so just like a conventional scanner. Its not about using a Hytera on a CAP+ system, nor tracking calls across the CAP+ system.

(It's been a while since I tried this, my notes suggest it wont work).

You can for sure. Works better on smaller systems, but it still works. In a nutshell..
- Add the talkgroups you want to monitor and put them in an RX Group list
- Add all the frequencies twice (one set to Slot 1, the other on Slot 2)
- Assign the RX Group list you made to each channel
- Put all the channels in a scan list

So basically you are scanning slot 1 and 2 on each channel for activity that is in your RX Group list. As you can imagine the larger the system / more groups you're trying to monitor the slower it will be. But on smaller system it works reasonably well. It's a pain though if you just want to monitor individual talkgroups.

Brilliant, thanks @Forts. I'm kicking myself for not having tried that already.

Can even program all the voice channels and just put the slot as pseudo so will pick up on both slots
