Problems with Trunking Personalities

[DiGiTaLD]

Software: ASTRO 25 Portable CPS R20.01.00 running on Windows 7
Hardware: XTS 1500 FLASHCode 500088-001488-3

I'm having trouble creating a trunking personality in the CPS. I have a valid authorized advanced system key loaded into the CPS, and the trunked system corresponding with that system key already exists in the codeplug. When I go to create a trunking personality associated with that trunked system, I get an invalid field error for System & ID when selecting the trunked system in the drop-down menu under the General tab for the personality I just created. Additionally, I cannot add any talkgroups in the personality. Any ideas?

What kind of system? P25 or Smartnet?
If you're trying to create a type II personality, your current flashcode won't support it

Sorry, I should have mentioned its P25.

Check your advanced key. If it's got restrictions (ID range, talkgroup range, etc) placed on it by the system administrator you won't be able to do anything but clone.

For whatever reason, Motorola did not choose to make the Advanced System Key work with the Astro25 series when restrictions of any kind are applied to the key. It'll work just fine for APX radios, but not Astro25.

I bet that's what the problem is, since its a limited key. Thanks!
