Greetings!
Has anyone out there successfully programmed their BCD325P2 to monitor a Hytera XPT trunked radio system?
"Hytera XPT" refers to "Single-site and Multi-site Extended Pseudo Trunking," and according to Hytera's website, is based on the ETSI DMR Tier II Conventional Standard.
This type of trunked radio system seems to be the one in use at a casino approximately 15 miles from my location, and its transmissions come in loud and clear. My BCD436HP first identified them as "XPT" transmissions and is able to track the talkgroups I've identified coming from two frequencies (451.475 MHz and 452.300 MHz). I've programmed that system into my SDS100's and my BCD436HP via Sentinel as a "MotoTRBO Trunk" system type with both frequency LCN's set at "0" and Color Code 10 for 451.475 MHz frequency and Color Code 11 for the 452.300 MHz frequency.
Everything seems to work beautifully with those settings programmed into the SDS100's and the BCD436HP, but I can't seem to get them to work at all on my BCD325P2. If I program the 451.475 MHz frequency as a "conventional" system in the BCD325P2, I receive all the radio traffic clearly, but without the TGID's, of course. I've tried programming the BCD325P2 by means of Butel's ARC-XT software and directly from the keypad on the radio's internal menu, but neither method worked.
This little challenge has turned into a bit of an obsession, so I'd appreciate any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions anyone might care to share.
Thanks in advance!
