Not to bring up an old subject, but after reading the DMR Function V2.20 manual, and the following threads, I have a few specific questions:

If I am understanding it correctly, operation is similar to other manufacturers, except it roams using the information in the channel-zone list, not from a roam list noted elsewhere.
1) There was mention of roaming and checking CC. Do all repeaters have to have identical CC? Is it a problem if they do not?
2) What is the best way to deal with properly assigning TG to slot? I'm assuming it's different than the typical 1 zone per repeater, and strap each TG to a channel. Do I put each repeater in twice, for S1 & S2, then the roaming only looks at the selected slot's channels? I'd be ok with this if I can put Group ID search on and go into the contacts to make my group call.
3) I am assuming the roaming doesn't also sort by strapped talkgroup? I can't put Repeater 1 TG 1-5 in channel 1-5 and Repeater 2 TG 1-5 in channel 6-10?
The other threads were helpful in tweaking the roaming settings. I just need to get a complete understanding before I blow forward. I currently have the large codeplug as zone-channel not personality list. I'm trying to get this squared away on the portable before I load it into the mobile where changes are a bit more effort.
NX-5800 DMR Site Roaming
Does anyone here successfully have DMR Site Roaming on the NX-5x00 series working? Does it work similar to roaming on a Motorola DMR Portable? If I understand the concept/help file on the NX-5000 correctly, I should be able to create a Personality for each talkgroup on the NC PRN system, each...

Being very used to motorola, the kenwood roaming parameters are different. Although looking at the help files and seing what it says there I am struggling to understand the differenece between standard site roaming threshold and site roaming resume. I fully understand the concept of quick site...
