Good Morning-
I am programming my XPR3500e for my work frequencies; I'm very new to CPS and radio programming, but I want to learn.
To program this radio to work, do I need to create and assign a contact and a group list for each channel I create? For example, will I have 17 channels, each with a known department and frequency (Let's call them Shipping, Receiving, Production, Assembly, etc...), and an individual contact and an individual group list?
For Example:
Shipping: Contacts > Digital > Call1 (Contact)
Shipping: RX Group Lists > Digital > List1 (Group List)
Shipping: Channel > Zone1 > Channel1
Receiving: Contacts > Digital > Call2 (Contact)
Receiving: RX Group Lists > Digital > List2 (Group List)
Receiving: Channel > Zone1 > Channel2
Another question: Since each zone only allows 16 channels, for the 17th channel will I need a 2nd zone? I have 16 digital channels and 1 analogue channel. Will I select Zone 2 on the radio when needing to use Channel 17 or is there a way to have all channels accessible?
Hopefully I have described my situation clearly, and I can provide more information once I receive my programming cable and I can read a radio.
Thank you in advance!
Shawn
