Invalid Frequency CPS

[Ryanmackphoto]

Trying to program my XTS-5000 everything’s working but when I type in the frequency it comes up red box and won’t let me write. They are typed in correctly, new to this any help would be great!

What is the model number of the radio, and what frequency are you trying to program?

 

[Ryanmackphoto]

It’s coming up invalid fields. And won’t let me write to the radio. Using xts -5000 I’m trying to program my local fire it’s 460.25000

What is the model number of the radio

^^

I'm sure that it's the wrong frequency split. As mentioned above, what model number is the XTS-5000 that your attempting to program?

 

[Ryanmackphoto]

Sorry . Model No: H18uch9pw7an

I believe that's a 7/800 MHz model.

I believe that's a 7/800 MHz model.

I believe you are right
OP you cant program 460 into a 7/800 radio it's the wrong bandsplit

Damn I’m a kook. So this radio won’t work for any of these frequencies all of them around me are in the 400.s or 150.s suggest a radio that would be best for that?

 

[K2NEC]

An XTS5000, but in UHF or VHF

NOPE... A 700/800 Mhz radio will only work in those frequency bands.

Mind explaining what the best radio is for this I’m new to this and very confused don’t wanna buy another bad radio for this. Thanks!
This is what I got Now - Motorola-XTS5000-Model-III-M3-700-800-MHz-H18UCH9PW7AN-P25-w-ADP-Encryption-Pack

Study the model numbers carefully. You'd want a 5000 for VHF that starts out with H18Kxxx. A UHF 380-470 will be H18Qxxx and UHF 450-520 will be H18Sxxx and you already know the 800 as U

so only the radios within the band will link so for example if I wanna link to 440.6000 I can't use the h18Q -450-520?

 

[chrismol1]

VHF K & UHF Q for amateur radio. If your in one of the metro areas that use the T-Band 470+ which is S split

Let's start off by asking, what are you going to use the radio for?

 

[Ryanmackphoto]

Motorola XTS3000 UHF R2 450-520mhz Mod 3 P25 Digital Portable Radio

That would work for my use right when using channels like - 476.35000 453.52500 477.02500

Let's start off by asking, what are you going to use the radio for?

just listening to local fire channels.

 

[K2NEC]

just listening to local fire channels.

And you aren't transmitting on anything right? I think a better alternative would be to get yourself a scanner.

no! got one right now don't really like it, its super old, just listening. wanted to get something louder and nicer. Would that 3000 r2 450-520 work for that?
