Motorola XTS 2500

[SSdudley2020]

I just purchased a used xts 2500. I had the tech in my fire department program the zones. My first zone, the one I will use the most, is the one I have the question.

The first channel is a analog/digital using a nac code using two frequencies. The second channel is the fire department using an analog frequency with repeater.

Then there are 10 other simplex channels used by the various FDs for fire ground operations.

As best and I can understand it, the tech made the first two channels full time scanning. The remaining channels are supposedly add/delete. However for the life of me, I cant get these channels to add/delete. If someone could give me the step by step way to accomplish this procedure, I would appreciate it.

They were probably not added to the selectable scan list. He will have to go into the CPS and change it to be able to add from the keypad

There would need to be a button, switch or menu option enabled for scan. The menu item for scan programming would be PROG and if a switch was programmed for scan list programming there would be a flashing rectangle on the top display showing that it is now in scan programming mode

If there is a button programmed for scan, hold that button longer and it will enter scan list programming mode and allow you to add or remove channels with the top side button, a channel showing Z that means the channel is now entered into a scan list

Will you please tell me where in the CPS selectable scan list I can go to add these channels.

On this radio the button enable for scan is the side purple button. Once I hit this button the flashing box comes up. I then hit scan and select add or delete button for the channel.. How do I get back into the newly created scan list?
