Radio and frequency

[Tx2Ar]

So I have a ht1250+Ls UHF and I'm getting ready to send it to be programed or a xst-3000, I'm getting the frequencies lined out to channels on paper. I have more than little to no idea about UHF compatibility to radio models.
So there are pl, dpl and ran tones on some of the frequencies, never seen 5 RAN before so will these tones work with those radios or do I need to further upgrade.

Welcome to the forums. This would be indicative of NXDN which a ht1250 does not decode. What's your use case?

No offense, but it’s obvious you are new to radios. Take your radio to the person responsible for programming it, usually the licensee or system administrator.

I don’t get it. Over the years I’ve noticed so many threads regarding the same situation: Person XXX has been tasked by YYY agency to use non user-friendly software to program critically important public safety radios, and turning to strangers on a public forum for answers…I just don’t see that happening and don’t believe that.
If you wanted to stay employed, follow the official procedure and take it to the right person. Got the gist of what you’re saying (I think), normal grammar/punctuation makes it easier for people to understand you 👍

The problem is many people think it's no big deal to be programming/configuring subscribers for agency use. They are ignorant of things like OSHA, liability, etc. and most don't care. It's all good, until it isn't. That's when the "a-ha so that's what that grumpy dude on the forum was talking about" sinks in.

Agreed: if a radio is used for life safey/IDLH, like any other equipment, only competent, authorized personnel need to touch it. For hobbyist use, who cares. But if it's for part 90, it needs to be done by someone who actually knows.
