TP9900 Radio IDs

Apparently my questions have made its way to Tait in New Zealand… but without any answers yet.

But surely I’m not the first person to try Tier 2 DMR in this P25 radio and someone has run into this issue before.

This is in the context of trying to transfer systems from a TP9560 to a TP9900. I have a good grasp of the TP9500 workflow, but I am finding the DMR in the TP9900 much less straightforward.

1. A DMR system is created first, and a Radio ID is set under DMR > DMR Options.
2. A "Channel Profile" is then created under Channel Profiles > Basic Settings. (This follows the same general logic as the TP9560 so far.)
3. Talkgroups are assigned under Channel Profiles > DMR Conventional. At this point, a field appears that is pre-filled with a DMR Radio ID different from the one set in Step 1. If I manually change it to match the ID from Step 1 and save the codeplug, it reverts to a different ID when reopened. In short, I can't get the two Radio ID fields to match.

I’m not even sure why there are 2 DMR Radio ID fields to begin with

From my experience, it follows the ID set in your signalling system (the numbered nameless system that also assigns things like encryption keys). Not a very elegant solution.

Thanks for your reply. After a lot more testing it seems you are correct and the 2nd Radio ID is irrelevant - not sure why it is editable though.

Thats been my experience as well - I've got no idea why either.
