Quick Question about HT1250 MDC Decode

[wv8mat]

Do all Moto HT1250 decode MDC, the reason i ask is our fire dept has a bunch of HT1250's and i am getting ready to buy one and i didnt know if there was a option board i needed to buy of it someplace in the programming there was a box that needed checked to make it where my radio will decode who keys up there radio.

Thanks

All standard (i.e., not LS) HT1250's decode/encode MDC.

And finally, if you want to be able to see an Alias, for example if ID # 1234 is dispatch, add an Alias to the MDC call list, make the name Dispatch (Lowercase is supported and looks better - local Motorola tech, I am looking at you) and set ID to 1234. Next time dispatch contacts you, you will see "Dispatch" on your radio as opposed to "ID: 1234"

Would you enter in the ID number for each ID number you know, such as, the LT's ID number is 102, the Captains number is 101.. Or for each portable you create the alias. So for example, mine would be my ID number, add that to the Call list.. Then on the captains portable program his ID in on the call list

You add the known IDs and their Alias's to the call list to get the Alias to display. This has to be done on each portable. (and with the cumbersome CPS, this sometimes is an annoying process that takes a while)
