XTS3000 Motorola XTS 3000 trunking in simplex?...

[Cashanova48]

I don't know if this might be a dumb question. I'm new to the XTS platform and don't fully understand the Trunking systems, but is it possible to have a XTS 3000 set up for trunking without a repeater or control point on analog? I would like to communicate with some Baofeng type radios and another XTS on GMRS with still having the TPT and sending MDC 1200 at the end of transmissions. Thanks for any replies.

No, you don't need a Trunking personality unless you're communicating on a Government or SMR radio system and especially not for GMRS.

What is TPT?

Anyways, I doubt that you will find any Cheap Chinese Radio with Trunking capabilities and if that was possible, also be compatible with any P25 or EDACS Trunking system.

TPT = talk permit tone. Basically he wants copsounds (tm).

Also no Baofengs use MDC that I'm aware of.

OP wants Cop Sounds™. Talk Permit Tone and MDC1200. Yea you can turn on MDC1200 and make your chirps to annoy those without DOS on a repeater or slam the ptt for your own desires off repeater. No trunking TPT on conventional on a 3000. You can setup MDC1200 to make a tone on PTT so you can fufill the fantasy of hearing some type of tone like you're on trunking.

Ah, I always called it "Side Tone" for the PT-T ID/MDC feature or the "Go Ahead Tone". I never thought of calling it by the real name.

CopSounds™..whacker aphrodisiac. MSI calls it "talk permit" on trunking, and pre-time for MDC.

Thanks for the help, with my group working in a noiser environments I was hoping there would be a way to have tpt. We are using mdc for those who do have Motorola spec equipment. Those who use Bofengs just miss out on signaling over air. Is there any way to have a roger beep setup on the CTS 3k's?

You can set the MDC to Pre or Post.

MDC, Roger beep, TPT. Jesus, how much noise do you want your radios to make? Why not throw in some FDNY tones while you're at it?

I was just wondering if we had our radios set up for mdc pre message if ew could do a.roger beep at the end instead of MDC twice. We are prone to operating in loud conditions.

Throw away the baofeng radios. Or use them to stop fast moving sledgehammers. And if you don't NEED MDC signalling, ditch it. It serves no purpose other than "Sounding cool" which it does NOT, after about the third time you use it.

Sounds to me like you like to play with radios more than you need reliable functional communications.

If whatever you're doing puts you into a noisy environment, consider earpieces.

Thanks, with what we're doing we use GMRS (GRS for those who aren't licensed) as a back up to phones and for on site coordination.

I've heard GMRS radios out there with all the beeps and boops you're looking for, I'd consider off the shelf purpose built GMRS radios with those features available
