why my MTS 2000 don't display IDs in any TKGPs ???

[fuctea2k]

I'm sorry for my pool English...

Is there any options could turn the function on or off in the RSS?
I'm using MTSX 6.07 and LABtool 2.0.1

My friend's MTS2000 could display my ID and all others' ID when we are in same TALKGROUP, but mine is not.

My MTS2000's FW version is R01.15, and his is R06.40, is that matter?

*** My questions are: ***
1. If it is mine FW version is too old to display IDs, How could I upgrade it and let it display IDs like his one?

2. Is there any other method to let my MTS2000 display IDs normally?

thank you!

It might not be flashed for it. In other words it does not have that option installed. You have to buy it.

thank you!

the radio is owned by my company, and all the radio is same in different kinds.It's MTS2000, LTS2000, MTX960 and XTS3500(maybe), and all the MTS2000 must be same. the only different thing is his MTS2000 has back to manufacturer for service.

and I want to submit a trunk system information, is my company:

Your MTS has pretty old firmware as you can tell. It's either not flashed for analog trunking id display or the firmware is too old to support it.

You should talk to the local Motorola dealer about getting your radio flashed to support trunking id display.

The ID display should work at your rev. It came in about 5.53 or so..

Make sure you have it enabled

Radio Config
Display and Menu
Advanced Tab
Set the caller ID to Alias Text (if you have a call list) or ID only

If trunking ID display came in at 5.53, then how would his radio with v1.15 work?

I have heard that sometimes when radios go back to the repair depot they will refresh the firmware, which seems to be what happened in this case.

Thank you!

I just contacted with my local support center and asked for upgrade.
they told me that is a Pay-operation, it will take me 700RMB a radio. Is that right?

and 1. what about LTS2000? does it have the " ID display" function?
2. are all the MTX960 have the "ID display" function or it must have higher version of firmware?
3. some friends told me that the Labtool is only owned by Motorola support center, and my copy is pirate, but mine is given by Motorola when my company setup the smartnet, and is there really some wrong with my copy of the Labtool?

thank you again!

I'm not sure what currency RMB is but it generally takes anywhere from a couple of hundred US for a refresh of the radio (firmware upgrade) to a thousand dollars to add features like Smartzone.

I'm not familiar with the LTS2000 or MTX960.

Labtool is owned by Motorola and I've never heard of them giving it out. Seems kind of strange that your company would have a copy.

Keep in mind you must be very careful with labtools. You can easily brick a radio with it.

Thanks, Mike!

There is few trunk fans in my country...

I even can't find any place to buy a scanner... could anybody give me some informations about a scanner? e.g. How much it usually cost (rudimental level) and is it must be connected with PC or laptop? and I wanna buy one for tracking my local 800Mhz Motorola trunk systems

Reference #1) No, the LTS 2000 does not have the id display feature.

Reference #2) I am also unfamiliar with the MTX 960, so I don't know.

Reference #3) Not sure - check your software license and see. If you don't have a sofware license agreement for that piece/level of software, I would be weary.

Two companies that produce wide-band scanning receivers are Uniden and GRE. Both are japanese companies. Both do some product development in America to meet consumer demands for the USA.

You might be able to order a new radio by mail. The cost of shipping to Beijing would be high. If you have a friend traveling to/from the USA, it would be easy for them to pick something up and bring it back to you.

For cost, here are some websites with that information ...

RadioShack is USA based retailer - their radios are made by GRE and Uniden
