I have been able to program my xts3000 to NAS. But I notice that I only pick up audio when it is in monitor mode. I went down to Monroe county a couple hours ago and it worked fine with out being in monitor mode, showed me ID's and audio was great, but for Miami dade Im only able to pick up audio in Monitor. Not sure if its something with the radio but it does bother me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

huh? What does monitor mode mean for this radios NAS programming. Meaning you press a programmed monitor button? You're scanning the trunked freqs in a conventional scan list? With conventional talkgroups or listening to all with a nac of F7E?
Correct the programmed monitor button, I am listening to the trunked freqs on a conven scan list, its the regular nac of 293
Do you think if I send you the CP maybe you can mess with it?

You must set the Rx NAC as the system’s NAC. In this case, $F7E.
this is for Miami dade fl correct? and it goes into the conventional personality correct?

F7E is the NAC that un-squelches to all p25 transmissions, its the equivalent to CSQ on analog transmissions. As long as you assign that nac to each frequency it will receive any transmission.
This isn't actually referred to as non-affiliate scan as you are not receiving a programmed trunked control channel that instructs the radio to tune to the current frequency of a trunked talkgroup as how NAS trunking works. You are simply scanning all the frequencies programmed and radio unmutes to the first transmission it receives regardless of talkgroups. Although you can do what you are doing while programming a talkgroup conventionally where it scans the frequencies and unmutes for that talkgroup under astro systems astro talkgroup list and assign to conventional personality

although doing the conventional talkgroup scan method only scans 1 talkgroup at a time so on less busy system or only the frequencies for one site or so you could do the CSQ of F7E and receive everything. Only when it gets busy and you risk missing transmissions of one talkgroup you want to monitor its more beneficial to program the scan list channel to a talkgroup. You could program talkgroup as a menu item to do this, with the ones you want. While doing this you also program a talkgroup of 65535, which is the wildcard talkgroup equivalent of F7E for a nac. So you can change up to the talkgroup you want, say during an incident and then change it back to 65535 which is will receive any talkgroups that scan lands on
the max of the conventional personality or of something else?
@chrismol1
Are you monitoring a 3600 baud type II system or a 9600 baud system?

I am scanning a 9600 baud phase 1 system, you can see the video above to see the issue, more information included on the original post\
Apologies to chrismol1. Wrong person on my reply.
The video didn’t help but the problem could be in your scan list settings.
This is a clearer video of what is going on, I can only hear audio when I put the radio on monitor.
F7E as a "Receive All" NAC was never implemented in the Astro line. You need to set the channels to "Digital CSQ".
So leave the default 293 NAC?
It can be whatever you want as long as you set it to Digital CSQ, or alternately set it to the actual site NAC which you can obtain by listening to one of the voice channels with a scanner.
Did what you told me to do and wrote to the radio, still only grabbing audio when it is on monitor.
Are you seriously using a Moto radio to scan individual frequencies on a trunked site? If so, why....? That is NOT NAS, throw this thing away and get a XTS 5000, or better yet get a Harris P or XG series and it will be almost impossible to screw up NAS.
