Kenwood and Tier 3 DMR

[kd4efm]

Anybody here been playing with Tier 3 with the 3000 or 5000 yet?
Testing out the radios on a MOT T-3 station I have on the air, and trying to see what others have done
to make it work. Radio does registration, but not able to key in.

Looking for others who been on this wagon before.

I have not done it yet on a Moto system, but trying to figure out how to do the same thing on a Leonardo one.

I've played with Tier 3 Kenwood's on Tait infrastructure but not any of the configuration. In fact, if you order a Tier 3 system through Kenwood or EFJ you'll get a Tait system sold under license (at least until the next generation of Kairos repeater is available).

I know with Motorola Capacity Max there is a setting you have to configure at initialization to allow non-Motorola subs but beyond that I can't provide much additional information.

If you find out what setting that is, let me know.

I'm thinking it's called 'Interoperability Mode"???

Or open mode? Something like that.

Actually it's "Open System Mode" verses "Advantage Mode".

At a minimum, you need Open System Mode. You may also need to avoid multi-block channel grants / DFA mode, assuming CapMax supports that.

test results, so figured out the channeling issue, now I have 1 nx3300 with DMR T3 and my 5300 without T-3 using S-Trunking.
Both radio now work and talk to each other, once I got a handle on the channeling issue. (flex and static mode).
Still have some testing to work on but for the most part, I am waiting on the other testing person to reprogram his ION and other radios to
the discovered channel settings.

So I can say, testing phase 1 complete, now to do some more debugging and get the Kenwood's a little more iron clad.
