Hello, trying to monitor EBRCS, set everything up right and tried it out with PHPD. All works good except sometimes it switches to East Contra Costa and only the talkgroup is showing up, no traffic audio. Any ideas on what this is? Note: I edited the band plan to add TDMA and it said “FAIL 001” I heard it had to do with something with affiliation, or it could just be the synthesizer being out of lock. Either way, radio isnt bricked YET so I’m ruling out the affiliation rumor. (XTS 5000 Model III. Will gladly send codeplug if needed.)

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

If what you are trying to listen to is TDMA the XTS is the wrong radio as it won’t do TDMA. Adding the TDMA band plan is useless in a XTS/XTL.
You would be better off with a scanner. Then learn about RF Types Phase 1 and Phase 2 and NAS. Just a friendly thought.
Forgot to ask, could that be the reason why FAIL 001 happens?
More than likely.
I just bought a good loaded SDS200 from the Classifieds for a good price. I have bought several good used scanners from established well known users for fair prices.
Astro25 radios, like the XTS5k, show FAIL 001 when they get a channel grant for a TDMA talkgroup.
