Kenwood TK-X180 fleetsync statuses

[avdrummerboy]

Hey all, had a question that's baffling me. I'm sure I'm missing something painfully obvious but figured I'd throw it out to see what anyone else can come up with.

Trying to get status messages loaded into a couple of X180 radios. Have fleet sync selected as the signaling type and have ID's for both radios, built the ID list and added statuses to the status list. All other features and settings the way I want them and all of those work fine. The problem is when I press the status button on the keypad it reads << EMPTY >> as if nothing was added to the status list. As I said, selcall and 2 tone work (tried that one just to make sure I'm not being a total boob about this,) every last thing works except those d*** status messages. Anyone have any ideas of something I'm missing?

Thanks

Well, as suspected, it was something plainly and stupidly obvious, turns out it helps to have a target set in the programming (and radio) to send statuses too!!! Doh!!! It now works fine.
