Hello everyone, I'm new to radio reference and I'm hoping you guys can give me some advice. My service recently purchased quite a few XTS1500 radios, and while trying to program them we found out they are not compatible with our current radio system configuration. We operate on a UHF repeated system using Quick Call IIB for alerting radios and use MDC for radio identification. The XTS 1500 will not allow Quick Call and MDC on the same conventional personality.
This wasn't the end of the world for us as I was able to configure our system to use MDC Call Alert to alert the radios. For the most part it works fine with one exception. There are 2 radios on each truck that I have set up to alert and transmit with the same identifier. With both radios alerting at the same time they are trying to acknowledge the alert at the same time resluting in feedback over the system. Occasionally the system does not receive the acknowledgement from either radio even though both alert. I'm guessing this is from the 2 radios competing with each other.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve this process? Thanks
