Quick call II not showing up in menu list

[LamarBarnesville]

Attempting to program Motorola 6550 with quick call II. The option is not appearing in the menu list
Thanks

What is it exactly that you are trying to do? QC encode?

 

[LamarBarnesville]

program the radio for quick call II.......the option is not in the signaling menu drop down. I have programmed it in several other radios and all the other radio have the option in the menu drop down

You repeating the same answer does not make it any clearer. Are you trying to encode or decode QCII?

When you go into Menu>Contacts there is no QCII option?

OK I don''t know any other way to say it. encode decode.......its not in the menu drop down list on the contacts. I have done numerous other department radios so I'm not a first timer on doing this. Quick call II in not in the menu list.

You said this is a department radio? Did you make a QCII contact? When you are in contacts on an ANALOG channel, you should have 2 options, one that says MDC and one that says QCII. You probably know this if you program other department radios.

I've seen this before on a really ancient 6500 with early firmware. It's like QCII wasn't enabled from the factory.

 

[LamarBarnesville]

thanks you think there any type of firmware update that might work for this ?

 

[K2NEC]

What version are you currently on?

Yeah that's super old firmware. The last firmware available for the XPR6550 was S01.17.08 which was a non-public release to address a high volume "screech" the radios would randomly make.

I'm in a good mood tonight, so here's a link to the firmware on my Mega drive.

Thanks and my bad this is a xpr 6500 bet this wont work for that....hope youre still in a good mood and have the same for 6500

 

[K2NEC]

It's the same firmware package for the 6500 and 6550

GTR in a good mood? I should play the lotto tonight

I'm hardly a MOTOTRBO expert, but last I checked the firmware is the same for the entire XPR 65xx series. As far as I recall, the only real difference between the 6500 and 6550 is that the 6550 had GPS capability added to it. I'll let someone else better versed in the XPR universe chime in. Oh wait, @K2NEC just did. There you go.
