Motorola Capacity Max on an XPR?

[APXandRailroadRadios]

Hi, I saw this video of someone monitoring Capacity Max on an XPR. I'm not sure if it is fake, so I started researching it. I found this thread about monitoring Capacity Plus, even though you don't need an authenticated radio. Would this work for Capacity Max? Or do you know any way to "non-affiliate scan" for DMR Tier III?

When I click on that TikTok link all I see is a still photo, not a video, and the radio appears to be parked on a conventional channel with scan mode enabled from the looks of the display. It may be possible to simply program all of the system frequencies/timeslots with a group list containing the talkgroups you want to hear, and scan those channels in conventional mode.

Cap+ is easy to monitor because there is no concept of the radio authenticating/affiliating with the system and there are no system keys in the software. So, if the system isn't using RAS and/or encryption, anyone can program a radio to passively monitor. I disable transmit on each channel, and for good measure usually program some bogus TX frequencies so the radio would never be able to reach the system. I monitor lots of Cap+ systems this way.

Thank you. Would I add a conventional channel and scan a regularly programmed Capacity Max system, with each channel after the conventional channel being a talkgroup? Also, you would stay on the conventional one like regular NAS right?

The guy was monitoring a conventional DMR channel. But he is a user of a system which the company or place seems to not lock their radios and he adds other groups to it who use the same system as the one he is authorized to use uses Ras on that end so probably why the gloating.

Ah ok

CapMax is a whole different ballgame than Cap+
