New to XTS5000 - Confirm Tx Dev is 2.5kHz and 12.5 kHz channel spacing?

[K6PYR]

Hi all,
I'm new to programming an XTS5000. As you know, the channel assignments allows for selection of Tx Opt Dev and TX Opt Channel Spacing.

Would somebody confirm that for normal analog, VHF, fire department type operations these should be set to 2.5kHz and 12.5 kHz respectively?

Thanks!

Yup. That's the ticket.

 

[K6PYR]

Thank you sir.

Further thought on this: Is there a way to set that as the default? Right now the default is 5.0/25.0. which means I have to change it for every single entry. I have not found a menu option that sets this as a default. I've looked in the Radio Config and the personalitiy menus.

No, there is not. Select a row, click CUR, then add records based on the selected record.

You can also right-click on the correct setting and select "Fill Value Up/Down" and it will adjust all of the channels in that column. Very handy for large zones.

Ah yeah, forgot about Fill Up/Down. Just make sure that the channels are not RX Only, otherwise you won't be able to change the TX Deviation.
