Weird problem with my new-to-me M7300. I've programmed a P25 trunked Phase II system (for NAS) and a conventional system. I have no problem monitoring and scanning the conventional system with priority scan, etc. It works fine and performs like any other GE/Ericsson/Harris product I've ever owned.
When I switch to the P25 system, my scan operation seems all jacked up. The scan button and scan add/delete function literally stop working, the radio seemingly stops scanning talk groups altogether. The radio will generally unmute for whatever talk group I have selected (but sometimes it doesn't even do that). I tried setting up a "custom scan" situation but the radio still will not let me get into my custom scan from the menu and select a scan list and/or make changes to the scan list from the control head.
It's almost like as soon as the radio enters the P25 system the CH-721 (scan type) control head functionality becomes limited or impaired and it won't respond to operator inputs for scanning AT ALL. It just sits on the selected talk group. The scan icon (the little triangles) spin around like it's scanning but I think that just means it's scanning for a control channel.
It's almost behaving like a conventional radio would behave with "off hook scan" disabled (there is no mic on this radio) in that it stops scanning when the mic is off the hook, but I've checked and triple checked that I have that setting set properly. That ain't it.
The radio connects to and hears the P25 system just fine, I've manually selected various talk groups and it follows conversations on them fine. The issue isn't that the P25 isn't being heard properly. Its some kind of scan issue and I just know I've overlooked something in RPM or there's some whacky feature or glitch in RPM I didn't know about to enable scanning. I'd be happy to send my personality file to anyone for review. I've programmed several GE/Ericsson/Harris radios over the years I'm not new to programmer/RPM. I just did my own XG-100P a couple weeks ago and it works fine...I know how to do this - I'm just missing something. Or...the radio is FUBAR'ed but I really don't think that's the case.
Any help would be appreciated.
